We offer precision engineered, high-quality speciality synthetic automotive lubricants for chassis, exterior, interior, powertrain, and electrical components. Our lubricants are engineered to meet the performance and functional life expectations of automotive OEMs and their tiered supplied chain partners/parts manufacturers. In addition to our synthetic automotive lubricants, we offer water based antifriction coatings to prevent interior trim noise issues (a.k.a. squeaks and rattles). There are a host of automotive related articles below, choose from theory, case studies, test related articles and production selection guides; or click on you relevant subcategory/area of interest: Chassis, Steering, Electrical, Powertrain, Interior and Squeaks & Rattles.
Chassis related lubricants engineered to improve the functionality, reliability, and longevity of automotive steering and suspension systems.
Steering component lubrication is a particular strength in our range and gets it’s own separate classification in addition to being included as a sub category of ‘chassis’. category. We have pedigree in a number of steering lubrication applications such electrical power steering (EPS) worm gear, steering wheel tilt and telescoping mechanisms, steering linkage and steering column bearings.
Electrical connector/contact lubricants formulated to protect and extend the operating life of electrical connector, sensor and switch components. Our electrical/electronic connect lubricants prevent failure/warranty recall and other problems associated with electrical fretting corrosion, connector corrosion, water ingress and other issues.
Powertrain component lubrication to help deliver more engine efficiency, better fuel economy, and a quieter drive.
Interior of vehicle component lubrication, reducing noise and conveying a quality feel to hand-operated interior components, while ensuring the lubricant is odourless and there are no material compatibility issues.
Squeaks & Rattles gets it’s own sub category as S&R issues are generally associated with interior trim noise issues. Such noise issues are generated by material combinations such leather on plastic, vinyl on plastic, metal on plastic, plastic on plastic (e.g. ABS-PC), leather on leather, rubber on glass etc
Manufacturers use a damping grease in their device or component for one or more of the following reasons – motion control, haptic feel (quality feel) and noise reduction. When product designers are faced with reducing cost without sacrificing quality, a motion control damping grease can be a valuable tool and…
This is our damping grease trial pack. It’s a great kit for engineering professionals and hobbyists alike, to test or evaluate a damping grease in their design. We originally thought this trial pack would be aimed at engineers in a prototyping stage of a new product development, but it’s just…
In the video featured on this page we are going to try and explain the benefits of damping grease using these nuts and bolts. Some of the benefits experienced by using a damping grease are haptic and so it’s obviously very difficult to convey the advantages or demonstrate improvements on…
Water ingress protection is one of most common reasons for considering the use of a connector lubricant. The ‘go to’ grease in our range for moisture/water protection is Tribosyn 330. It should be noted that we have a range of connector lubricant products available for other connector problems such as…
One of the most common misconceptions we come across is that some electrical engineers think that using one of our specialist connector lubricants will cause extra circuit resistance/circuit impedance across a connector or circuit – this is not correct! As a number of customers ask this same question about possible…
Designers and manufacturers have used damping greases for more than 50 years as an economical way to build fine tolerances into their products. The “velvet feel” and virtually silent operation of the focusing mechanisms on microscopes, zoom lenses on 35mm cameras, and other optical instruments, and the fact that the…
ATVs endure harsh conditions, which put the machine and individual components to the test. The electrical components on an ATV are chosen for their durability and often are protected by Ingress Protection (IP) rated enclosures. Given enough time, it’s likely that with enough water, salt, dust, dirt, thermo cycling and…
A common question from a customer searching for an electrical connector grease to fix an electrical connector fault that has already occurred is, why not just use a conductive grease to fix the fault? A conductive grease is never recommended to fix an electrical connector problem; a dielectric grease is…
Selecting the proper synthetic switch grease for a specific switch application can be a challenge. Very subtle differences in synthetic grease formulations can make a big difference and these formulation decisions are sometimes counter-intuitive. Also when selecting a switch grease, note that the viscosity of the base oil should complement…
The ability of a switch grease used in a switch design to prevent contact surface wear is normally the primary goal. Wear debris can create two problems; it can inhibit current flow when the contact is closed, potentially increasing millivolt drop. When the contact is open, conductive debris has the…
