Antifriction Coatings

LIP Coating is a privately owned German Company with wide experience in dry film coatings for the leather industry. This Knowledge has been used as the basis for developing a new range of products for the automotive industry that can eliminate squeaks and rattles on interior upholstery, trim and rubber seals. The majority of the products are water based and many are invisible when applied in exposed areas. They are successful in a wide range of applications, involving leather and plastic upholstery and also plastic trim areas, both hard and soft.

Dry lubricants can be classified as either;
  • Inorganic compounds, Organic polymers or metal-complex compounds in a bonding film.
  • Inorganic compounds

The most effective inorganic compounds are layer-lattice solids such as graphite, molybdenum disulphide, niobium disulphide, tungsten disulphide, calcium fluoride.

LIP Antifriction Coatings
  • Are solvent free wherever possible
  • Are practically odourless
  • Are extremely economical (Replacing felt strips or other aids!)
  • Permanent
  • Some can be used even in visible areas
Where should one use which coating?
Where invisibility is important
  • LIP AC 610, AC 612
  • Wherever felt strips are used
  • foil, leather, vinyl and many other surfaces
Where pressure and movement is high
  • LIP AC 640
  • Hard surfaces e.g. POM, ABS, PA
  • Foil, vinyl, leather and most rubbers e.g. EPDM, TPU
Where pressure with mechanical action and weathering are important
  • LIP AC 644, AC 650
  • Hard surfaces e.g. ABS-PC, POM
  • Also foil, vinyl leather and most rubbers e.g. EPDM
Where extreme flexibility, stretch and crush resistance are important
