Ultra-Low Friction Coating - Solid Lubrication Film (SLF74/16)
We thank you and appreciate you visiting our website.
If you're looking for ultra-low friction coatings, with an ultra-precision thickness of 0.5µ (half of one micron). Deposited at process temperatures below 50 degrees C and offering an unparallel level of flexibility, then you've come to the right place.
Unlike "commodity" type PVD coatings, Refmet Ceramics Ltd specializes in a Solid Lubrication Film that provides the lowest coefficient of friction of any commercially available coating to date.
The importance of the need to reduce friction in tribological applications cannot be over emphasised enough.
Solid Lubrication Film (SLF74/16) acts as a precision interfacial barrier between two mating surfaces, overcoming wear, pick-up and galling that occurs when two or more moving surfaces interact.
Solid Lubrication Film (SLF74/16) has the unique ability to coat fully assembled bearings ranging from precision ball, taper roller, and needle bearings, to being applied to a host of applications such as gears, tooling, actuators and any component or assembly that requires the ultimate in reduced friction properties.
Solid Lubrication Film (SLF74/16) is applied to many high demanding applications requiring the ultimate in reduced friction and optimum in metal to metal contact protection. Everyday uses sees Solid Lubrication Film (SLF74/16) being applied to many of the high profile Formula 1 racing teams engine and drive-train components, to aircraft actuators and bearings for Airbus, Boeing and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), not to mention many various items of tooling used to produce a wide variety of goods.
Please accept our apologies, but at present our website is undergoing a total revamp and a new site will be uploaded in the very near future.
If you have an interest in precision coating technology, or an application that could possibly benefit from the use of a low friction surface then please give our engineers a call where we will be more that happy to discuss in detail the options available.
