IDEALUBE® Lubricant Additives
IDEALUBE® BN Lubricant Additives
IDEALUBE® Boron Nitride Lubricant Additives are hexagonal boron nitride powders (BN) with lamellar structures similar to graphite. However, IDEALUBE BN lubricant additives are electrically insulating, are unmatched in thermal conductivity, have low coefficients of friction and oxidation resistance at high temperatures (up to 900°C), and are naturally white. Compared to other solid lubricants, only IDEALUBE has this unique combination of properties, making them the perfect solution for the most challenging applications.
In applications involving moving parts, heat dissipation and wear resistance can mean success or failure of a design. IDEALUBE BN lubricant additives may be the solution where conditions exceed the useful operating range of other solid lubricants such as graphite, MoS2 or PTFE. With the growing demand for lubricants with improved heat dissipation, better wear rates and oxidation resistance, IDEALUBE Boron Nitride may be the solution that leads to less frequency of lubrication, lower lubricant usage and less downtime.

IDEALUBE Boron Nitride Lubricant Additives
are HX-1 Certified
|
Each IDEALUBE grade listed in the table below is acceptable as an ingredient up to 40% by weight for use in lubricants with incidental food contact (HX-1) for use in and around food processing areas. Such compounds may be used in food processing equipment as a protective anti-rust film, as a release agent on gaskets or seals of tank closures, and as a lubricant for machine parts and equipment in locations where there is potential exposure of the lubricated part to food.
