High performance lubricants enhance power and cabin comfort
Modern cars require more power and performance from smaller engines, while ensuring a quiet driving experience for passengers. Soon, the vehicle service time will be extended for several years, and the warranty period for key engine and structural components will be extended to even longer.
This poses new requirements for lubricants used for engine components inside the engine hood or vibration components with slight noise. Lubricants must withstand high operating temperatures, as well as smoke and fuel environments, while also reducing minor noise/vibration/noise (NVH) and buzzing, creaking, and rattling (BSR).
Hank high-performance lubricants can have the following characteristics, which can help improve vehicle power, cabin comfort, and service life:
- High performance: able to work in extreme environments
- Durability: Will not bond or crack over time
- High lubricity: Efficient application with only a small amount of product required
- Chemical inertness: does not oxidize or react with water, steam, fuel, and smoke
- Material compatibility: When used in automobiles, it will not cause damage or discoloration to new and different materials
The durability of lubricants is crucial for difficult to reach components
Car design is turning to place more components in areas that are difficult to reach or seal (such as the steering column of autonomous vehicle), which means that replacing these components may be time-consuming and expensive for manufacturers and owners. Different specifications of Hank lubricants and greases can help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) find options that can meet the most demanding challenges.
