Abrasion Resistance Solutions for Industrial Durability
In challenging work environments, machines and parts are subjected to constant friction, rubbing, and wear. Over time, this can damage equipment, slow down operations, and lead to costly repairs. That’s why having strong abrasion resistance is so important.
Huron Industries makes Neolube® lubricants and coatings that protect your equipment. They help reduce wear, last longer, and keep machines working better even in tough conditions.
What is Abrasion Resistance and Why It Matters in Industrial Environments
Abrasion resistance refers to a material’s ability to withstand surface wear caused by friction, scraping, or mechanical action. In nuclear, aerospace, and heavy industrial applications, where every moving part is exposed to harsh conditions, abrasion resistance isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Huron Industries knows how much downtime and broken parts cost. Because of this, our Neolube® specialty lubricants and seals are made to have better abrasion resistance, which means they stop surface wear in places with a lot of friction.
How Neolube® Reduces Friction and Wear
Neolube® products are specifically formulated with fine graphite and specialized binders that form a dry, adherent lubricating film. This protective layer minimizes direct metal-to-metal contact, greatly reducing surface wear—even under extreme pressure or temperature.
- Reduces friction between moving components
- Extends the operational lifespan of machinery parts
- Prevents scoring, galling, and surface erosion
- Performs under high-load and high-rpm conditions
Whether you’re operating turbine assemblies, valves, or pumps in a nuclear reactor system or maintaining heavy industrial machines, Neolube® is designed to handle abrasive conditions head-on.
