Solve Friction Challenges with Self-Lubricating Compounds

Americhem’s industrial lubricant additives transform plastics into self-lubricating polymer systems that reduce wear, noise, and vibration. By embedding lubrication directly into the resin, these materials deliver reliable, maintenance-free performance across demanding applications–from automotive gears to surgical tools.

  • Eliminate external oil and grease
  • Enable clean, maintenance-free performance in surgical and medical devices
  • Enhance wear resistance and surface finish
  • Reduce vibration in moving parts
  • Extend service life of engineering thermoplastics

Keep Moving Parts Running Longer
