Inlube
Brand information
InLube™ is Americhem’s brand of internally lubricated compounds and alloys specially designed to help mold manufacturers reduce the friction of moving plastic parts and improve their wear resistance. Consider InLube™ when self-lubricating materials are needed to provide lubrication throughout the life of a product or system.
Lubrication provides essential functions for plastic molded components that are meant to be in motion. Americhem’s InLube™ line of internally lubricated compounds and alloys combines our specialty thermoplastics compounding experience with our lubricant additive technology to offer the industry’s most advanced solutions, packaged to optimize the performance of products across a broad spectrum of markets. With InLube™, you’ll reduce friction concerns that tend to cause noise, vibration and wear while eliminating the need to oil or grease parts externally. Our lubricated compounds are developed with cost reduction and service life in mind, offering a lightweight and suitable replacement for metal with formulations that resist corrosion and other damaging factors. Whether you need conductivity, thermal stability, electrical resistance or chemical inertness, InLube™ materials can enhance the characteristics of plastics, taking your product to a whole new performance level.
InLubeâ„¢ provides inherent and lasting material lubrication through the addition of lubricant fillers, including graphite, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and silicone. Graphite lubricated compounds and alloys, MoS2 lubricated compounds and alloys, PTFE lubricated compounds and alloys, and silicone lubricated compounds and alloys deliver unique advantages across different resin bases. Below are some of the most significant benefits of these compounds, listed by filler type:
• Graphite. Applications operating in aqueous environments.
• MoS2. Nylon applications requiring reduced wear and "slip-stick" behavior in bearings.
• PTFE. Reduces wear and friction for a wide range of amorphous and crystalline thermoplastics. Combined with fiber reinforcements, increases LPV limits for high-temperature bearing applications.
• Silicone. Behaves as a boundary lubricant to provide reduced wear rates and coefficients of friction and immediate lubrication at start-up and high speeds.
