microGLEIT® is the leading supplier of dry film lubricants for fasteners. Intensive development work and the experience of many years of practice with products and processes result in a wide range of reliable “friction adjusters“.

• Lubricants are indispensable for adjusting the coefficient of friction to desired values and narrowing down the standard deviation of the friction values of modern connection elements.
• Good choice of the product and proper processing is influencing the layer quality – ideally synergies are achieved here.

microGLEIT® DF dry films are mostly water-based lubricant systems; they contain e.g. PE (polyethylene) and partly additives such as PTFE or wax.

• After application this dry films build thin, transparent layers with a typical thickness of 1 to 5 μm.
• For connection elements of all kinds this thin layer warrants a defined, constant coefficient of friction μges in a range of 0,08 to 0,16, depending on application and product. (Friction values μges according DIN EN ISO 16047)
• Basic principle:
  No threaded connection without proper lubrication!

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are used on threaded connections in almost any industry segment, such as:

• bolts and nuts with metric threads (e.g. according ISO 4014, DIN 931, 933 etc.),
• wood construction screws (e.g. SPAX®),
• stainless steel bolts and nuts,
• almost any threaded connection in automotive industries,
• thread forming and self-tapping screws,
• and many more…

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are suitable as topcoating for all known surfaces on bolts and nuts, such as:

• phosphatizing
• galvanic zinc (including all chromate coatings (yellow, blue, black or olive)
• zinc-nickel and zinc-iron coatings
• zinc-flake coatings.

microGLEIT® dry film lubricants are characterised by very good film formation and excellent processing capability during application. microGLEIT® offers not only top products but also appropriate process knowhow.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

• Threaded connections according to VDA 235-203
• Stainless steel-, aluminium-, tapping screws
• Thread forming screws
• Threaded connections for electrics
• Chipboard and wooden construction screws
• Lock nuts and pinch nuts
• Automotive industry approvals
• Single or multiple tightening
• Avoiding stick-slip (e.g. with KTL-layers)
• Top-coat for Zn-flake systems and all known Zn-based surfaces

A tribologically functional coating in which powerful solid lubricants are incorporated in a resin matrix is called ‘Solid Film Lubricant’ (or ‘Anti-Friction-Coating’, ‘AFC’s’ or ‘bonded solid lubricant’).

• microGLEIT® solid film lubricants are supplied as a liquid dispersion and can be applied to the surface of the component by using common paint application technologies.
• The contained solvent (H2O or organic) serves as a carrier liquid for resin and solid lubricants and enables film formation.
• The resin (or ‘binder’) also provides as most possible a cohesive connection to the component surface.
• Solid Film Lubricants are surface systems that reduce friction and wear and can complement or replace other wear protection systems.
• microGLEIT® has a very comprehensive expertise and many years of experience in this product segment.
• Bonded coatings are universally applicable and suitable for a variety of applications.

Tribological Applications of Solid Film Lubricants

• Dry lubrication of components made of metal or plastic – preferably at low sliding speeds – in different stages of operation:
  ‣ assembly,
  ‣ optimization of running-in,
  ‣ lifetime lubrication,
  ‣ in special operating conditions, e.g. operation in vacuum; oil or grease is undesirable for reasons of cleanliness;
• Hybrid lubrication – solid film lubricant plus oil or grease. The combination of oil-resistant solid film lubricant and oil or grease lubrication leads to a significant increase in performance of the system – in many cases synergy effects can be achieved. Such a hybrid system is particularly advantageous, indeed sometimes indispensable, for difficult running-in processes and highly loaded components in continuous operation.

In addition to the products from the core portfolio, microGLEIT® also offers other specialties, each of which is one of the best on the market. In addition, microGLEIT® also offers customized products – tailor made exactly to the needs of the customer or the application.

The specialties available as from the shelf always meet the premium standards of microGLEIT® and are characterized by exceptional performance.

microGLEIT^® lubricating fluids of the LF series solve problems with friction and wear in production, maintenance and servicing.

• The Fluids LF 110 and LF 115 are based on a synthetic, biodegradable base oil. A special additive package enables excellent lubricity and very good corrosion  protection. Due to its spreading effect, the fluid penetrates deep into the lubrication point and is also very effective for loosening rusted connections. LF 110 contains some alcohol – this further increases the spreading effect and gives the product a high cleaning power.
• The drilling and cutting oil LF 195 High-Cut is characterised by an environmentally friendly formulation and excellent performance in the application.

microGLEIT® 700 Series
Highest Performance – Top Against Fretting Corrosion

The new generation of label-free, microWHITE solid lubricants from microGLEIT® extends the previous performance limits for greases, pastes and grease pastes.

• The innovative MicroGLEIT 700 Series is based on these new solid lubricants. Especially against vibrational wear (fretting corrosion), a big step forward has been achieved.
• Both on industrial testing machines and in hard practical use, the products of the 700 series show unprecedented wear protection and load carrying capacity.
• The products of microGLEIT’s 700 series are universal problem solvers for many applications for
  ‣ assembly,
  ‣ running-in and
  ‣ lifetime lubrication.
• The products of the 700-series do not require labelling according to GHS / CLP regulation EC No. 1272/2008.

microGLEIT® microWHITE pastes and greases of the 700 series are setting new standards for all tribological applications with mixed friction, such as

• novel, microWHITE solid lubricants with significantly extended performance limits,
• very fast buildup of a stable, tribo-chemical wear protection layer,
• particularly high protection against vibration wear – the new standard of performance,
• extremely high load carrying capacity,
• reduces stick-slip,
• controlled friction values, steady course of friction,
• besides steel also ideally suited for many other materials, e.g. stainless steel, bronze, brass, titanium,microWHITE solid lubricants are also suited for aluminium with typical coatings as anodizing, PVD, CVD, DLC and PCO –– however, preliminary tests are recommended here since the layers can significantly influence the lubrication result,
• good corrosion protection and excellent water resistance.

microGLEIT® GP and LP Series
microWHITE Lubrication Pastes and Greases

For lubrication tasks with mixed friction, in particular with oscillating movements (‘vibration’), lubricants containing white solid lubricants are state of the art. White solid lubricants in combination with appropriate carrier media combine high load carrying capacity, very good wear protection with clean application. Based on their special formulation, microWHITE solid lubricants generate synergy effects – the products derived from this technology are presumably the best on the market.

The microWHITE solid lubricants from microGLEIT® are the ideal platform for the formulation of application specific products. The variation of base oil, thickener and additive package allows the exact adaptation of the lubricant to the respective application.

microGLEIT® offers excellent white products for all applications such as

• assembly,
• running in and
• life-time lubrication.

microGLEIT® microWHITE pastes and greases are ideal for all tribological applications with mixed or boundary friction.
