Krytox™ oils and greases stand up to harsh environments and high temperatures to lubricate weather stripping and automotive parts prone to noise and wear. Krytox™ prevents weather stripping from cracking, shrinking, and swelling to help reduce wind noise, drafts, and water seepage. When used on moving parts, Krytox™ performance lubricants eliminate the buildup of friction and minimize shock and stress that causes squeaks, rattles, and damage. Successful applications include sunroofs, door latches, air vents, and seat slides.
Krytox™ is extensively used as both a short-term containment solution and a long-term NVH-preventing lubricant. It is easy to apply, safe to use, and engineered for long-term success.
The world of auto manufacturing is shifting fast to electric plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are starting to dominate production schedules. Noise becomes far more noticeable in vehicles driven via electric motors versus traditional combustion engines, increasing and diversifying the type of NVH issues and introducing new challenges and containment concerns post-launch that OEMs must now combat.
Lightweighting is also a major focus, shifting to different materials where possible to save on total vehicle mass. These new materials may introduce compatibility issues with the standard lubricant solutions that worked in the past, as well as new vibration behavior to contend with. Krytox™ performance lubricants help address this reactivity issue through their completely inert PFPE base chemistry.
Leather-on-leather friction points can create an incredibly irritating noise. Krytox™ silences that squeaking and NVH without concern of staining or becoming sticky over time.
Krytox™ performance lubricants deliver ideal performance for plastic surfaces and door frames as the perfluoropolyether chemistry will not discolor, oxidize, or warp the components while greatly reducing the noise caused by interface friction and vibration.
Krytox™ provides lubrication and long-term protection for rubber components, such as O-rings, seals, sunroofs, trunk lids, etc. These high-performance lubricants prevent stick-slip occurrence (a driving force for noise generation) while protecting the rubber compound with anti-wear performance.
Say goodbye to bunching or gathering when raising or lowering a window. Krytox™ can provide exceptionally long-term lubrication for window-raising mechanisms, tackling harshness issues that are very noticeable to drivers.
