Innovative silicone-based coatings and lubricants from Dow
Corning are helping to make your daily car commute a lot quieter. These
anti-friction coatings and lubricants for the automotive industry offer maintenance-free, permanent
lubrication for interior surfaces with low speed and oscillating movements, and
in addition, provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Anti-friction
coatings work by minimizing the “squeak and rattle” effect caused in vehicles
when interior moving parts rub against each other intermittently, thus greatly
reducing the interior noise levels and making your ride more comfortable.
In pistons and piston rings, these coatings minimize noise, provide scuffing
resistance and improve gas mileage. In addition they help in minimizing
emissions. Coatings applied onto the camshaft and tappets provide increased
performance and reduced wear during engine run-in and cold starts. Coated
exhaust manifold gaskets are used to eliminate the “ping” in exhaust
systems.
Anti-squeak coatings on door panels eliminate the squeak caused by friction
between the car door and its interior trim panel. Coatings also provide
abrasion resistance and judder-free movement to the wiper blade assembly.
