SurTec Anti-Friction Coatings provide comprehensive protection for metals, plastics and elastomers by reducing friction, preventing wear and corrosion, and extending component life. With precote®, you can efficiently and reliably lock, seal, clamp, assemble and disassemble fasteners, which increases operational safety and processing efficiency in series production.
Anti-Friction Coatings or tribo coatings form a uniform, dry and low-friction lubrication layer on various materials and components.
The main components of a Anti-Friction Coating are:
Dry lubrication is always a good choice for industrial applications that require a clean, durable lubrication film. Anti-Friction Coatings can be used at particularly low and high temperatures up to 600°C. They are therefore ideal for use in harsh conditions such as vacuum or aerospace.
Unlike other lubricants, an Anti-Friction Coating offers the advantage of forming a uniform, solid and dry layer on the component. This clean lubrication layer is not washable, cannot be thrown out of the lubrication gap and does not need to be replaced (i.e. lifetime lubrication).
Anti-Friction Coatings offer many advantages in variable temperatures, applications with special hygiene requirements or highly loaded industrial machine elements compared to conventional oils, pastes and greases. The special SurTec tribo coatings help you optimize the friction coefficients and sliding properties of your components and enable longer tool life.
Today, sustainability is a key issue, and at SurTec we are actively committed to developing environmentally friendly solutions. An important step in this direction is the conversion of our product portfolio to PFAS free Anti-Friction Coatings.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemical compounds used in many industrial applications but have become increasingly focused due to their environmental and health risks. Although PFAS is not generally prohibited, we are committed to developing innovative Anti-Friction Coatings that do not require PFAS at all, yet provide the highest performance. This will help us stay ahead of the future and prepare us for possible future regulations.
Our PFAS free Anti-Friction Coatings offer excellent properties such as high abrasion resistance, excellent lubricity and long life. These products are not only safer for the environment, but also for users.
We are proud to take this important step towards a more sustainable future and will continue to work hard to expand our range of environmentally friendly coating solutions. Stay tuned for more innovations from our company!
The brand precote® is known for its locking and sealing properties on threaded parts. These products offer advantages in operational safety, processing, and efficiency in mass production. Nearly every car uses precote® coatings for locking or sealing functions in various components such as battery packs, engines, and transmissions.
When screwing the threaded parts coated with precote®, the microcapsules are destroyed, releasing and curing the liquid components. This ensures vibration-resistant locking and reliable sealing of the threads. Microencapsulated, modified acrylates in combination with specific precote® binders meet the requirements for strength, friction coefficient, and temperature resistance.
