U.K. Abrasives BNBL-ICE

U.K. Abrasives BNBL-ICE uses Hexagonal Boron Nitride powder as a key ingredient. These lubricants contain fine particles of Boron Nitride powder, blended with a binder. After application and proper curing, they become bonded to the metal surface and form a white or light gray solid film. UKA’s dry film lubricants also contain special rust inhibitors which offer exceptional corrosion protection. Most long wearing films are of the bonded type but are still restricted to applications where sliding distances are not too long, such as internal combustion engines, bearings, etc.

    Product Highlights

    Boron Nitride based Lubricants are also helping to address the latest worldwide trend in environmental regulations which is to minimize/prohibit the use of ingredients that may generate phosphorous and/or sulfur fumes and residues. BNBL products should be considered as an effective alternative to Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) based products which are among the products affected by the new regulations.
