The "slip resistance" of rubber products is an inherent characteristic, but in some applications, slip properties are necessary.
Rubber generally has a high coefficient of friction and is a material that is not easy to slip on. ■ Why is rubber not slippery? Rubber is a material that easily undergoes elastic deformation. When pressed against a surface, it deforms along the contours, increasing the contact area. The larger the contact area, the greater the frictional force. Additionally, the surface of rubber may have tackiness, which increases friction and adhesion. ■ Cases where slip resistance is required In rubber O-rings, gaskets, and sealing components, smooth insertion during assembly and low friction during sliding are required. ■ Please consult us first The optimal measures vary depending on the type of rubber and the usage environment. Yoshida SKT's GLC series is a specialized coating that imparts low friction properties to the rubber surface. For more details, please download the materials and check.
basic information
GLC Series Features - Reduces friction on rubber surfaces. Depending on the model number, water repellency and non-stick properties can also be expected. - A low-temperature coating that can be processed on rubber with low heat resistance. - A highly conformable film that is difficult to peel off even on bending rubber. 【GLC Model Number】 【Film Thickness】 【Color】 【Processing Temperature】 【Coating Material】 GLC-F101: Approximately 10μm Clear Below 200℃ Fluorine-based GLC-F102: Approximately 5μm Blue Below 200℃ Fluorine-based GLC-F108: Approximately 15μm Clear Below 200℃ Fluorine-based GLC-F113: Approximately 1μm Clear Below 100℃ Fluorine-based GLC-F123: Approximately 1μm Clear Below 100℃ Fluorine-based GLC-S210: Approximately 15μm Black Below 200℃ Silicone-based GLC-S224: Approximately 3μm Clear Below 100℃ Silicone-based GLC-M315: Approximately 1μm Clear Below 100℃ Inorganic-based GLC-M322: Approximately 1μm Clear Below 100℃ Inorganic-based
