Automotive

With other 25 years in manufacturing special lubricants, LUBRILOG is strengthening everyday its presence in worldwide automotive industry.

Highly specialized in designing and manufacturing fluorinated lubricants, LUBRILOG is giving new technical perspectives in complete harmony with the evolution of the materials and the methods used.

Due to compatibility reasons, shelf life, costs and safety procedures, automotive industry is gradually moving away from using conventional materials to a large range of complex and organic composite materials.

All of these new generation components are nevertheless very sensitive in contact with conventional lubricants (physico-chemical interferences with material performance losses).

Today, LUBRILOG is completely involved in such concerns and has become a key actor in the automotive tribology expertise.

LUBRILOG supports its partners in their projects to find the most efficient lubrication solution.

Fields of application

Engine block components

Oil without silicone Engine block components Connectors can be electrical contacts or connections intended for fluid transmission. Electrical contacts allow an efficient power and signal broadcasting.

Lubricants involved in this concern must improve electrical contacts protection, have a high vapor tension to avoid any lubricants migration and be compatible with plastics and elastomers (mainly used for insulating material).

Applications

Low voltage or low amperage connectors
High tension electrical connectors (spark plug cups, wiring and coils)
Sensors and potentiometers
Commutators and micro-switches
Fluid and mechanical connectors
Brakes : Master cylinder cups, seals and diaphragm amplifiers, etc.
Starter
Turbo : connector clamps
Heat-air connection assembly
Engine gas management systems: EGR valves, throttle control, idle air actuators, etc.
CV joints
Wheel bearings
O-rings and lips seals treatment
Fuel hoses and injectors

Passenger compartment & Dashboard

The passenger compartment and the dashboard include many systems requiring high quality lubrication. Lubricants are used to improve connection between plastic parts to avoid squeaks and rattles to insure a high perceived quality of the materials to final customers.

Applications

Seat tracks
Electric seat mechanisms
Window visors
Pedal and steering wheel positionning systems
Dashboard mobile elements
Needle gauges
Air nozzles
Cigarette lighters
Safety belts mechanisms
Air bag activating systems

Carbody & Tightness

LUBRILOG suggests solutions to improve sliding parts in contact and to avoid squeaks and sticking problems on seals (doors, sunroofs and trunks).

The lubricants can also be advised to reduce signifcantly assembling aid efforts.

Applications

Powertrain system

Steering and suspension are in the forefront in matter of vibrations and squeaks absorption. The lubricants are used to increase the driving pleasure and the vehicle perceived quality. Therefore, they improve the customer’s satisfaction. These lubricants are essential for the car’s safety. That is why they must remain absolutely reliable.

Applications

Research & Development

LUBRILOG improves continuously its ranges of products according to the current and future needs of its customers.

In this way, LUBRILOG has developed some innovative and efficient lubrication solutions especially for the electric car industry.

Thanks to its reactivity and its knowledge, LUBRILOG supports OEM and car parts manufacturers in their new projects or/and in their research of improvement solutions.

Moreover, components used in automotive industry are frequently updated, and lubricants become quickly obsolete and even inappropriate.

LUBRILOG‘s engineers are able to develop promptly, custom-made effective lubricants compatible with the chemical nature of new materials involved.

Over the last years, LUBRILOG’s expertise has allowed to develop more than a hundred of new lubricants for various applications in compliance with quality and environment standards.
