NVH Applications Guide and Resources
From eliminating NVH issues to maintaining component performance in extreme conditions, Krytox™ lubricants redefine what's possible. Unlike hydrocarbon and competitor PFPE based lubricants, Krytox will not carbonize, exhibits low volatility, broad temperature range, and superior surface attraction. We're ready to help you solve your toughest engineering challenges.
Elastomer body seal
Door, hood, and trunk seals, requiring excellent surface wetting, low volatility, and prevention of NVH or stick-slip issues
Sunroof weather stripping
Elastomer seals with exterior exposure, requiring stick-slip reduction and resistance to contamination and washout
Headrest Posts
Exposed sliding contacts between metal and plastic require a lifetime lubrication, NVH prevention, and broad useful temperature range
Interior Surface NVH
Prevention of NVH and stick-slip caused by close contact of unlike materials, including synthetic leather, ABS, and PC-ABS
Seatbelt Mechanism
Safety system requiring lifetime lubrication over wide temperature range to maintain easy user operation
Sun Visors
Contacts between plastic and metal requiring lifetime lubrication and broad useful temperature range
Air Vents
Partially exposed plastic contacts requiring lifetime lubrication for both NVH reduction and to allow easy system operation. Black color grease preferred to conceal lubrication points
Instrument pane
Mechanical springs and pinch points requiring consistent performance over wide use temperatures to maintain easy driver operation
Seat mechanism
Mechanical systems requiring lifetime lubrication for NVH reduction and easy driver operation. Preference for lubricant with low migration and excellent lubricity
Airbag spring
Safety systems requiring lifetime lubrication with consistent viscosity over specified use temperatures
Brake pedal assembly
Mechanical springs and pinch points requiring consistent performance over wide use temperatures to maintain easy driver operation
Cup-holder spring
Spring mechanism requiring low migration and contamination resistance
Door handles / latch mechanisms
Mechanical components requiring vibration damping, contamination resistance, and broad useful temperature range
Gear shifter
Concealed mechanical systems requiring NVH reduction and smooth operation over specified use temperatures
Interior hinge and latches
Mechanical components requiring excellent lubricity, low migration, low volatility, and broad useful temperature range. Examples would include: center console, glove compartment, media door
Mirrors
Gears and controls requiring wide temperature lubrication and broad material compatibility
Steering systems
Mechanical system requiring lifetime lubrication, NVH prevention, and smooth operation over wide use temperatures
