Anti-friction coatings

Reduced friction with antifricor^® leads to a longer service life of the friction partners. Wear resistance, dry lubrication and corrosion protection are combined effectively in one coating system.

antifricor^® is suitable for coating ferrous materials.

antifricor^® is suitable for all applications where friction forces reduce functionality and durability of components

antifricor^® is used by almost all major automotive manufacturers. Typical parts are hinges, door locks, door stays, door handles, adjustment systems, fittings and other fasteners.

The functional anti-friction coatings GLISS-COAT^® are designed to reduce friction and surface wear and to avoid noises (squeaking and grinding noises). Most GLISS-COAT^® layers are matt dark grey in colour, as plated. Under compressive stress they assume a shiny appearance and their coefficient of friction decreases.

All metals, light metals and plastics intended for industrial use can be treated, depending on the processing type. Examples of substrates that have been successfully treated with GLISS-COAT^® are paper, non-woven fabrics, plastic sheeting, metallic foil and ceramics.

GLISS-COAT^® surface systems were developed by Aalberts surface treatment itself, allowing them to be modified to meet the requirements of specific applications. The coating systems are predominantly used in the following industrials sectors: analytics, automotive industry, furniture industry, medical technology, soft coal opencast mining, solar technology and wind power stations.

Components of the following type are coated

• bolts
• bushes
• coil compression springs for damping systems
• guide mechanisms
• movable vehicle interior components, e.g. hinge pins, bearing bolts, seat adjustment components, guide plates
• nuts
• roller bearings
• rollers
• screws
• seat bolting devices
• shafts
• slide bearings
• spindles
• stopcocks
• toothed wheels
• valves
• vehicle door locks

GLISS-COAT^® FLOCK is a coating to improve the absorption of impacts and noise.

Due to the special additives, the coating system moves in the direction of the fibre tips. By movements within the tribological system, a lubricant film is formed on the individual fibres to improve the abrasive behaviour many times over. With an additional post-treatment, this effect can be increased further and optimize the running-in behaviour in specific.

GLISS-COAT^® FLOCK can be applied to phosphated, anodised and blasted metal surfaces as well as to plastic. Partial coatings are also possible, e.g. only the outside area of a spring.

In general, parts such as the following are coated

• all kinds of springs
• anti-friction mechanisms
• bearings
• blocking pins
• sections / profiles
• guide rails
• guides
• housings

The HMF^® coating is a very hard, mirror-smooth, glossy or reflective micro-finish. The coating process produces constant lubrication in combination with improved surface hardness.

Almost all metallic alloys can be coated.

The customer sectors of HMF^® coatings include: cosmetics industry, plastic injection moulding and extrusion, aviation, paper, film and foil production, tobacco industry and packaging industry. Typical components are calender rolls, pistons, ball valves, ball seats, cams, stamping tools, chutes, closing devices or funnels.
