KILOPOISE

Product catalog summary

Overview of KILOPOISE®
KILOPOISE is an extremely high viscosity damping lubricant designed for sensitive mechanisms requiring fine adjustments or damped motion. It allows smooth, precise movement, effectively seals against moisture, and remains stable over long periods, enhancing clearances and tolerances on mating parts.

Specified Applications

Medical Devices: Used in plastic disposable drug delivery devices to control dosage speed, ensuring correct dosage and patient comfort.
Dials, Sliders, Switches: Improves the perceived quality of plastic components, providing smooth and quiet performance with customizable acoustic or tactile characteristics.
Hinges: Increases resistance and reduces wear, offering a luxury feel to items like flip-phones and stadium seats.
Film & Photography Equipment: Provides precision and a 'silky movement' to camera lenses.
Automotive Interiors/Exteriors: Enhances the luxury feel of seat tracks and audio components, meeting specific sound and motion requirements.
Printers & Copiers: Reduces noise in plastic gears, ensuring quiet operation and cost reduction.

Historical Context
Initially introduced as sealing compounds for optical and electrical instruments, KILOPOISE was adopted during World War II to aid mass production, ensuring precision and accuracy in instruments despite the inexperienced workforce.

Modern Day Applications
KILOPOISE continues to be used in applications requiring extreme precision or a luxury feel, meeting rising consumer expectations for quality and aiding in the manufacturing process to increase perceived product value.

DAMPING LUBRICANT EXTREMELY HIGH VISCOSITY o KILOPOISE is an extremely high viscosity damping lubricant that is designed to change the dynamics between moving parts allowing tight and smooth motion. High viscosity damping greases are recommended for use on highly sensitive mechanisms where fine adjustments are made by hand or where free motion is required to be damped. A Lubricant with Heritage High viscosity damping greases were initially introduced as sealing compounds for optical and electrical instruments; however they were quickly specified in new innovative applications. During World War...
