Self-lubricating thermoplastics LATILUB self-lubricating materials limit friction and wear between elements in relative motion like gears, bushings and bearings, cams, pins, sliding surfaces, and so on.
LATILUB self-lubricating materials limit friction and wear between elements in relative motion like gears, bushings and bearings, cams, pins, sliding surfaces, and so on.
Unlike metal or ceramic solutions, the LATILUB compounds do not require external lubricants or maintenance, ensuring cleanliness and reliability over time.
The base polymers are modified with graphite and molybdenum disulphide, with silicon, PTFE and UHMWPE to drastically reduce the static and dynamic friction coefficient, or with aramid fibres to limit wear and abrasion.
A solution for every pressure, speed, load and temperature requirement.

Green and eco-sustainable the LATI response to the need for materials of renewable and sustainable origin is reflected in the LATIGEA, LATIECO and BIO families of compounds.
Engineering thermoplastics (ETP) include natural resins and materials reinforced with glass fibre or with mineral powders like talc, kaolin, and mica.
Reinforced with glass and carbon fibers, LATI structural compounds deliver dimensional stability, rigidity, strength and resistance, even when exposed to extreme, repeated or long-lasting stresses.
Electrically conductive thermoplastics provide excellent electrical insulation properties.
