Industries Our common path towards a better world
We can help whenever friction and wear are of economic significance.
Everyone knows the squeaking sound of a bicycle chain or that their hands become warm when rubbed against each other. Some are even familiar with the dreaded phenomenon called piston seizure. These are only a few of the many examples of tribological applications from everyday life. We know that it is indispensable to deal with friction and wear (tribology) in order to achieve sustainability, climate neutrality and energy efficiency goals, especially from an ecological and economic point of view. Learn more about this topic, e.g. by taking a look at the studies of the Gesellschaft für Tribologie e.V. (German Tribology Association).

Industries
Lubricants
Lubricants inevitably go hand in hand with tribology. It is not without reason that you will find our roots and concentrated know-how right there.

Production
Wear and tear of tools or surfaces and the influence of media on the durability of surfaces and materials are starting points for the optimisation of production processes.

Mobility
Engines and their components are exposed to extreme conditions. Potential for optimisation, so that propulsion does not result in friction loss, can be found here.

Aerospace
The tribology of materials and coatings subjected to extreme environmental conditions, such as high/low temperatures, corrosive gases, pressure or vacuum, is our speciality and passion.

Materials
Wear behaviour is an aspect of sustainability. Raw material prices, more lightweight materials as well as new coatings and manufacturing technologies offer potential for ongoing improvements.

Energy
Increased effectiveness and an extended service life are ways to improve efficiency when it comes to the generation of energy. Measures to reduce friction and wear make a significant contribution.
