- Product Features
Traditional solutions include adding non-woven tape-based spacers to keep material separated or applying an external lubricant. Either process can add cost and complexity to the build. SABIC's LNP™ LUBRILOY™ N2000 compound has been developed to address BSR issues. As a replacement to standard PC/ABS, this innovative, drop-in material can help automotive OEMs and tiers reduce friction and stick-slip behavior between molded parts to limit or prevent unwanted noise. In addition to automotive interior parts – such as mirror housings and trim, cupholders, button guides and heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC) frames – LNP LUBRILOY N2000 compound can potentially be used in consumer electronics applications where reduced friction or improved wear is required. Excellent Wear And Friction Performance SABIC's proprietary lubricating technology is based on a fully compatibilized olefinic alloy that is free of silicone and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It enables the LNP LUBRILOY N2000 compound to deliver a low coefficient of friction (COF) and excellent wear performance in plastic parts moving over metal and plastic surfaces. Standard wear and friction measurements such as thrust washer wear (ASTM D3702) or sliding sled (ASTM D1894) testers cannot always determine if two mating materials will generate noise. Specialized testing for slip-stick characteristics can be a more effective tool for noise comparison. Recognized by multiple OEMs and tiers as a useful tool in rating BSR potential, the BSR test VDA 230- 206 generates a Risk Priority Number (RPN) for material pairs. The RPN uses a scale from 1 to 10, where a rating of 3 or less is considered a low potential for noise generation. When evaluated using this test, LUBRILOY N2000 compound demonstrated a risk priority number (RPN) of less than 3 versus non-modified PC/ABS materials that typically have values greater than 5.
