NVH product range for vehicle interiors
NVH product line for vehicle interiors: Remove interior noise once and for all.
Long-lasting, high-performance Krytox™ lubricants help you deliver the quiet ride today’s drivers demand. Offering once-and-for-all lifetime lubrication, broad material compatibility and non-migrating properties, the Krytox™ portfolio of fully synthetic perfluoropolyether (PFPE) based oils and greases contains the perfect solution to eliminate noise generated by friction or vibration between all vehicle interior components and materials.
Choose the Krytox™ high-performance lubricant solution that is perfect for you
The following chart and table detail the specific interior applications, properties and benefits of our Krytox™ lubricants for NVH and BGC issues, so you can choose the solution that meets your challenges. From sunroofs and cup holders to gear shifts and brake pedals, our line of high-performance lubricants addresses NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) and BGC (buzzing, squealing and rattling) throughout the vehicle, even in the most extreme conditions, ensuring a luxury ride every time.
Where do Krytox™ lubricants perform better? Everywhere.
Application-specific product recommendations
| Application | Recommended product | Features | Benefits |
| Weather Stripping & Seals | |||
| Elastomer body seals Door, hood and trunk seals, requiring excellent surface wetting, low volatility and prevention of NVH or stick-slip problems. |
Krytox™ AUT U14 | Low viscosity, colorless oil | Krytox™ AUT U14 is specially formulated to reduce stick slip on elastomeric surfaces. Its superior properties include excellent surface wetting washout resistance, and no VOCs. Contains a UV indicator |
| Sunroof weather stripping Elastomeric seals exposed to the exterior, requiring reduced slippage and resistance to contamination and washing. |
|||
| Exposed interior surfaces | |||
| Headrest posts Exposed sliding contacts between metal and plastic require lifetime lubrication, NVH prevention and a wide operating temperature range. |
Krytox™ GPL 105 | Medium viscosity, colorless oil | Krytox™ GPL 105 is used for applications requiring lifetime lubrication. The main advantages are high temperature lubrication, low volatility and low migration |
| NVH of interior surfaces Prevents NVH and stick-slip caused by close contact of different materials, including synthetic leather, ABS and PC-ABS. |
|||
| Seatbelt mechanism Safety system requiring lifetime lubrication over a large temperature range to maintain easy operation for the user. |
|||
| Sun visors Plastic-to-metal contacts requiring lifetime lubrication and a wide operating temperature range |
|||
| Gears, Springs, Hinges, & Latches | |||
| Air bag spring Safety systems requiring lifetime lubrication with constant viscosity over specific operating temperatures |
Krytox™ GPL 205 | White, thickened PTFE grease with creamy consistency (NLGI Grade 2) | Benefits of Krytox™ LPG 205 include no VOCs, low volatility, broad material compatibility and excellent cost effectiveness. Material compatibility and excellent lubricating properties across high operating temperatures |
| Brake Pedal Assembly Mechanical springs and pinch points require consistent performance over a wide range of operating temperatures to maintain comfortable operation for the operator. |
|||
| Cup-holder spring Spring mechanism requiring low migration and resistance to contamination |
|||
| Door handles / latch mechanisms Mechanical components requiring vibration damping, contamination resistance and a wide operating temperature range. |
|||
| Gear shifter Recessed mechanical systems requiring NVH reduction and consistent operation at specified operating temperatures. |
|||
| Interior hinges / latches (e.g. center console, glove box, media compartment door) Mechanical components requiring excellent lubricity, low migration, low volatility and a wide operating temperature range. |
|||
| Miroirs Gears and drives requiring wide temperature lubrication and wide material compatibility |
|||
| Steering systems Mechanical system requiring lifetime lubrication, NVH prevention and consistent operation over wide operating temperatures.. |
|||
| Inaccessible and difficult to reach surfaces | |||
| Air Vents Partially exposed plastic contacts require lifetime lubrication to reduce NVH and facilitate system operation. Black grease is preferred to hide lubrication points |
Black, thickened PTFE grease with creamy consistency (NLGI Grade 2) |
Krytox™ GPL 215 provides lifetime lubrication for inaccessible and hard-to-reach surfaces |
|
| Instrument panel Contact surfaces requiring NVH reduction. Black grease is preferred to hide lubrication points. |
|||
| Seat mechanism Mechanical systems requiring lifetime lubrication to reduce NVH and facilitate operator comfort. Preference for low-migration, high-lubricity lubricants. |
