A bright idea This is how the BECHEM product programme presents its Anti-Friction-Coatings. Our three special Anti-FrictionCoatings BERUCOAT AF, BERUCOAT AK and BERUCOAT FX offer a lot of advantages and individual application possibilities for all industries, especially for bulk material and commodities, metals, elastomers, plastics and leather applications. Of course, these three new BECHEM product series excel by highest quality and the well known high performance of all special solutions offered by BECHEM. BECHEM Anti-Friction-Coatings – a smooth solution Thoroughly tested Anti-Friction-Coatings...

The Advantages of Anti-Friction-Coatings ■■ Constant friction values with low variation ■■ Application under most severe conditions, such as temperature, vacuum and dust ■■ Depending on the product type temperature resistance is situated in a range from – 200 °C to + 650 °C ■■ In many cases lifetime lubrication without oil and grease ■■ Support for oil and grease lubrication, thus improved running-in of machine elements and emergency running properties ■■ Suitable for all materials such as metals, plastics, elastomers and wood ■■ Excellent corrosion protection ■■ Long shelf life without influence...

Applications The Anti-Friction-Coatings made by BECHEM have especially established methods. This also includes the permanent opti- been tailored to the high customers' requirements as well as misation and upgrading of practical performance tests of our the technological challenges. This is only possible if latest products tailored to the specific fields of application. Our Anti- technologies - with regard to the raw materials as well as the Friction-Coatings are as individual as the customers' require- test methods - are the basis for the product development. ments and markets. One of our main...

BERUCOAT AF – reduces friction, allows extreme pressure Our series Berucoat AF contains friction reducing and extreme pressure Anti-Friction-Coatings with excellent corrosion protection and is preferably used on metallic surfaces. BECHEM offers air-drying as well as heat curing systems for a service temperature range up to 450 °C. They contain graphite, MoS2, PTFE or combinations of solid lubricants for optimal antifriction properties. BERUCOAT AK – invisible and noise damping Taps with water contact Telescopic cranes Plastic, leather, tissue BERUCOAT FX – flexible and resistant to abrasion Our...

Material combinations The selection of the suitable Anti-Friction-Coating starts with the analysis of the material to be coated and the material of the friction partner. Thus the BECHEM products in their con- ception are as different as the materials and material partners themselves. No matter whether metal, plastics, elastomers, leather or wood are rubbing against the same or completely different material partner - for almost all material pairings we have the right solution.

Applications Anti-Friction-Coatings made by BECHEM can be applied by Anti-Friction-Coating. This is why our technical service is not the conventional application methods such as spraying, limited to the recommendation of the suitable AF-Coating, but dipping, drumming, brushing or dip centrifuging. In general also includes the selection of the most economic and best the application process depends on the geometry of the method of application. construction part and the attainable properties of the Pre-Treatment Applications The surface treatment of the materials to be coated is of utmost importance,...
