Lubrinip hBN
Slippery, self-lubricating electroless nickel composite deposit
General
Lubrinip hBN is particularly recommended when a surface that reduces the coefficient of friction is required. This reduces wear and tear on mechanical parts, and the associated maintenance costs.
Our Lubrinip HBN treatment can be applied with excellent adhesion to all common metals and construction alloys, as well as light aluminum and magnesium alloys.
CARFeatures
Lubrinip hBN is a composite deposit of a particularly tough nickel-phosphorus alloy matrix in which very fine particles of inorganic solid lubricant are incorporated .
These soft particles, with their soapy feel, have an average size of around 1 micron and are part of the ceramics family. They promote sliding at both low and high temperatures.
As a result, Lubrinip hBN coatings have a slippery, self-lubricating surface. They can be used to solve bonding or adhesion problems, as well as highly stressed (speed or load) and non-lubricated friction problems.
