Durafine Case Study

Streamlining Assembly with Mounting Lube for Rubber Profiles

The Challenge
A key supplier of rubber seals and profiles for automotive doors, windows, and other industrial applications, faced several production and quality issues related to mounting these parts:

High Insertion Force & Damage: Manually or robotically mounting rubber profiles into channels often required excessive force, leading to profile deformation, tearing, or difficulty in seating properly
Slow Assembly Speed: The friction involved significantly slowed down the assembly line, impacting overall production efficiency
Messy & Inconsistent Application: Traditional liquid lubricants were messy, attracted dust, and left residues, leading to cosmetic issues and inconsistent lubrication
Environmental & Safety Concerns: Solvent-based lubricants posed health risks and environmental compliance challenges
Long-Term Performance: Liquid lubricants could dry out, wash away, or interfere with other bonding processes over time

The Durafine Coatings Solution
Durafine Coatings partnered with client to implement our innovative Mounting Lubricant for Rubber Profiles. This specialized, water-based coating creates a smooth, low-friction, and permanent surface on the rubber profiles, enabling effortless assembly. The solution was chosen for its:

Significantly Reduced Coefficient of Friction: Allowing rubber parts to slide smoothly into place with minimal force
Dry & Non-Tacky Finish: Eliminating mess, preventing dust attraction, and ensuring a clean final product
Permanent Lubricity: The coating bonds to the rubber, providing long-lasting lubrication that won't dry out or dissipate
Water-Based Formulation: Offering an environmentally friendly and safer alternative to solvent-based solutions
Enhanced Assembly Speed: Facilitating faster and more accurate placement of rubber components
