LubX® C: A High-Performance Material for Food Conveying & Material Handling

With outstanding dry-running properties and lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW-PE, LubX® C is specially formulated for applications in conveying, material handling, and food and beverage processing.

LubX® C Features

  • Up to 75% lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW-PE, requiring less energy to run conveyor systems
  • Designed for increased efficiency when sliding against acetal (POM) and stainless steel/steel materials
  • Reduces noise levels in factory environments, increasing overall safety for workers
  • FDA compliant for use in food grade applications
  • Reduces chances of stick-slip and backsliding
  • Proprietary dry-running, self-lubricating formulation will not leach like traditional oil-filled materials, preventing dust and dirt build-up
  • Increases process efficiency and stability

Comparison of Sliding Properties

LubX® C features up to 75% lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW.

Coefficients of sliding friction under dry conditions. Validated on the application-related Röchling tribology test stand. Speed 0.25 m/s / Surface pressure: 0.25 MPa / Test time: 24 hrs.
