Durafine’s industrial mounting lubricants are designed to reduce friction during the installation of rubber profiles, seals, hoses, and other rubber components. Our water-based formulations provide excellent lubricity, helping manufacturers achieve smoother assembly, lower insertion force, faster production, and reduced risk of profile damage.
Durafine Coatings is a full-service manufacturer of water-borne industrial coatings and specialty lubricants. We also custom-manufacture formulations to meet specific application requirements, including performance, concentration, appearance, and other technical specifications. Our mounting lubricants are developed to provide reliable lubrication without the mess and limitations associated with conventional liquid lubricants.
Installing rubber profiles into channels, grooves, frames, and other assemblies can create significant friction. Excessive insertion force can slow production and potentially cause tearing, deformation, pinching, or incorrect seating of the rubber component. Durafine mounting lubricant creates a lubricated interface between the rubber profile and the mating surface, allowing components to slide into position more easily. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where assembly speed, profile integrity, operator ergonomics, and consistent positioning are important.
- Automotive rubber profiles
- Automotive door and window seals
- Rubber weatherstrips
- Extruded rubber profiles
- Rubber hoses and tubing
- Rubber components requiring insertion into channels or grooves
- Tire mounting applications
- Industrial rubber assemblies
The use of Durafine mounting lubricant can help manufacturers improve the efficiency and consistency of rubber component assembly.
| KPI | Before Mounting Lubricant | With Durafine Mounting Lube |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly Force | High | Reduced |
| Assembly Speed | Limited by friction | Improved |
| Profile Damage / Rework | Higher risk | Reduced |
| Workplace Cleanliness | Messy liquid lubrication | Cleaner application |
| Surface Residue | Potential residue | Clean, controlled lubrication |
| Lubrication Consistency | Application dependent | More consistent |

Tangible Results & Success
The implementation of Durafine Coatings' Dry Film Mounting Lubricant delivered immediate and highly impactful benefits for [Client Company Name]:
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:
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:
Yes. Durafine Mounting Lube is specifically formulated for applications involving
rubber profiles, seals, extruded rubber components, and other rubber assemblies
where low-friction installation is required.
Yes. The concentrated formulation can be diluted with water according to the
application requirements. SLP-3000 can be diluted by up to 10 parts water, allowing
manufacturers to adjust the concentration for their specific assembly process.
A water-based mounting lubricant can provide effective slip while offering easier
handling and cleaning compared with many conventional lubricant systems.
Durafine’s formulation is water-rinsable, low-toxicity, non-drying, and based on
organic polymers, making it suitable for demanding industrial rubber assembly
applications.
