Vehicle window seal noise problem fixed with AC602/2

Automotive window seal noise can be a real problem. There are various types of problem but the one encountered in this recent project was popping or clicking sound reported by an automotive OEM. The noise was generated when a rubber seal was compressed, which was happening intermittently over certain uneven types of road surface. The problem was exaggerated on the video for the purposes of demonstration, the actual noise was not as audible.

The noise issue was eliminated with the AC602/2 Antifriction Coating. The AC602/2 can be purchased at our online shop.

Pour Point test (ASTM D-97)

The purpose of the Pour Point test is to help define the lowest operating temperature for an oil. During this relatively simple test, the temperature is slowly reduced and it is noted at what point the fluid becomes too viscous to flow. Some times Pour Point is referred to as…

Silica thickener introduction

We use two types of silica as a thickener in our grease range, both fumed silica and hydrophobic silica. Silica is not to be confused with silicon or silicone. Fumed silica is hydrophilic (water-loving) and has a thixotropic behaviour due to it’s time dependent recovery of apparent viscosity after shear…

What is grease?

What constitutes a grease? There are three main components that make a grease, base oil, thickener (sometimes called gellent) and an additive package. Making a grease is thought to be like extreme cooking and in the video, we tried to give an insight into the almost bewildering options and permutations…
