Specialized Lubricants Containing Boron Nitride
This line of lubricants uses Hexagonal Boron Nitride powder as a key ingredient. These lubricants contain fine particles of Boron Nitride powder, plus a binder. After application and proper curing, they become bonded to the metal surface and form a white or light grey solid film. These dry film lubricants also contain special rust inhibitors which offer exceptional corrosion protection.
Boron Nitride based Lubricants are helping to address the latest worldwide trend in environmental regulations which is to minimize/prohibit the use of ingredients that may generate phosphorous and/or sulfur fumes and residues. BNBL products should be considered as an effective alternative to Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) based products which are among the products affected by the new regulations.
- BNBL-FG: FG coatings are applied where fretting and galling is a problem (such as splines, universal joints and keyed bearings). FG coatings will not collect dirt and debris like greases and oils.
- BNBL-ECP: Extreme contact pressures. The BN-ECP provides lamellar structure oriented in parallel to the sliding surface resulting in high load-bearing capabilities in a low shear stress environment. Among applications is Superplastic Metal Forming that involves extensive deformation. ECP product offers controlled adhesion, easy removal after forming and minimizes build-up on dies.
- BNBL-ICE: Used where smooth running in a clean operation is desired (piston, camshaft). Used as a piston ring coating to optimize engine performance during break-in period.
- BNBL-HTL: High temperature applications. HTL Boron Nitride exhibits high tolerance to temperature and oxidizing atmosphere environments, whereas liquid lubricants typically will not survive. A typical application include fasteners which are easily tightened and unscrewed after a long stay at high temperatures.
