Copper lubricant - a substance for use in the brake system of the car. What is this lubricant for? It lubricates calipers - elements for fastening brake pads. With the help of the caliper, the brake pads are tightly pressed to brake disc, thereby providing safe braking. Also, this lubricant prevents malfunctions in the brake system at high speeds.

Copper lubricant for guide calipers must have exceptionally high quality, since the brakes are responsible for the safety of all in the vehicle. The car can ride with dents on the body or cracked headlamp, but with a faulty brake systemNone of the car should be operated as this leads to fatal consequences.

How to choose a lubricant?

1. Lubrication must withstand high temperatures, from 180 ° C and more. This is due to the fact that the brakes work in superheavy conditions and are constantly increasing. The friction between the disk and the block is sometimes reaches an indicator of 500-600 ° C. The surface of the remaining components of the caliper warms up to 150 ° C. This happens with a sharp ride or extreme cases, for example, a trip over a winding icy road.

2. The substance should not melt or flow with superngery.

3. Lubricant should not be dissolved in water and brake content. It should be resistant to moisture and other chemicals. This is due to the fact that the constant caliper constant time is in contact with water when driving on the highway. IN winter time Salt and other chemicals are added to moisture that roads sprinkle. Also, the caliper is in contact with the contents of the brake system.

4. Lubricant should not destroy plastic components and elastic caliper seals. This is a greater extent concerns rubber, the basis of which copolymer of ethylene, propylene and a diene monomer, as well as ethylenepropylene copolymer (EPT). These chemicals are part of the plastic parts of the caliper most often.

Chemical composition of lubricants

Most often, their composition includes three basic components: fine copper, anti-corrosion substances, synthetic or mineral oils. Their task is to prevent the mechanisms of the brake system. Some lubricating masses are diluted with graphite or aluminum powders, in this case it will be copper-graphite or. Sometimes manufacturers produce a paste to lubricate calipers with thick consistency, as it prevents expenditure lubricant Of those details that are loosely adjacent to each other.

Copper lubricant for calipers is an excellent interlayer protecting parts from friction and overheating. Lubricants protect parts of the caliper from nagar, moisture, corrosion, cover parts with a smooth layer, are able to serve for a long time without needing to replace. They also oppose the influence of acid, alkalis, salts, almost not evaporate and have no dew points. Due to its chemical composition, lubricating masses are good conductor of electrical pulses, which are supplied to reduce friction force in the mechanisms.

Lubrication classification

Lubricants are divided into three groups:

● Lubricating mixtures for metal surfaces designed for high temperatures. The basis of these mixtures is mineral or synthetic components based on oils and thickening substances. Most often produced with copper, graphite, aluminum molybdenum disulfide impurities in the form of fine powder. With very high temperaturesah micropowls are included in the work. Some lubricants are produced without adding metal powders. Used for calipers, and other connections.

● Lubricants for edges of fastening parts, glands and sleeves. Produced on the basis of oils with a mineral base, clay is most often used as a thickener. Characterized by the fact that under the influence of high temperatures, the flows of loosely adjacent parts are excluded.

● lubricants suitable for all moving components of the mechanism, including plastic and elastomer details. Used B. passenger cars, trucks and buses. Depending on the addition of metal powders have different color. There is no dropping temperature.

What kind of copper lubricant to buy?

Before making a purchase, it is necessary to know which kinds of copper lubricants are on sale. Their composition depends on the scope. A copper grease-spray is produced, also often can be seen on sale copper lubricant-aerosol. Where you need to smear loosely adjacent parts, to prevent leakage, use copper paste lubrication.

The lubricant in the form of a spray or aerosol is a copper aerosol lubricant, which is sprayed onto the parts of the pressure spray. Its most often acquired for compounds with carvings, as well as parts that are under the influence of strong heating, corrosion processes, increased pressure. It is used to lubricate the brake system, compressors, turbines, exhaust systems and spark plugs. The base of the lubricant is copper. It is used in the chemistry and petrochemistry industry, in car and mechanical engineering.

Synthetic type lubricant for brake mechanism - a paste designed for strong heating containing ceramics. It is characterized by an elevated level of adhesion, well resist the salts and moisture. After processing the brakes, protects them from creak and other noise between the support, the brake block and the lining. Optimizes the operation of the brake mechanism, which after lubrication becomes much more reliable. If you need lubrication for calipers, disc brake and drum elements, as well as for fasteners, we recommend paying attention to KupferPaste (Courapaste) from Divinol.

Lubrication with aluminum adding - prevents the elements at elevated temperatures. Also protects parts from cold welding due to heavy loads, sharp movements. Eliminates the manifestation of vibration when sliding. Does not make it possible to accumulate the components of the exhaust manifold, bolts on the wheels. Suitable as a separation agent for parts under conditions of super spectacle and overload. Ensures the details of the brake systems from vibrations and sounds created by them. Resistant to sharp drops of temperatures, corrosion, has excellent antisaded properties. Reduces friction, wear of parts, makes easy analysis of elements of mechanisms after a long term of use.

Prices for pasta

The price of copper spray-lubricant sets the manufacturer. Unfortunately, domestic manufacturers Do not boast a large assortment of this product. Quality also leaves much to be desired. Such lubricants can be bought for cars VAZ. They do not require such care as foreign cars, so the domestic lubricant is suitable for them.

For foreign cars it is better to buy high-quality lubricant, especially for high-speed lovers. If it's about you, then the Divinol brand is the perfect choice. The greater speed develops the car, the better there should be a lubricant, because the higher the speed, the greater heating is the brake system.

The consistant composition with the addition of a fine grinding powder is called copper lubrication. In addition to basic tasks: reducing the coefficient of friction, hot mechanisms, anti-corrosion protection, copper lubrication has a unique property.

Threaded compounds operating under high temperatures (up to 1000 ° C) may accumulate. If you pre-process the fastening elements with a lubricant containing copper, the effect of temperature consolidation is minimized.

To increase efficiency, fine copper is added to the thickener lubricant. And the particle size should be so small enough to not disrupt the basic properties lubricant. That is, metal particles themselves should not be abrasive, so as not to become sources of high friction.

Types of copper lubricants

Despite the similarity of the compositions, the lubricant is divided into consistency, and for its intended purpose. Consider a variety on the example of popular compounds:

Other forms of consistency are practically not produced, there are only different packaging. It can be a can, soft tubes (tubes), disposable packages or aerosol cans.

Specifications and advantages of copper lubrication

The main parameters of the compositions (regardless of the consistency) are formed based on the scope of application:

The use of copper lubricants in everyday life, cars, and in production

Regardless of the use area, it is necessary to remember some rules:

• careful cleaning of the treated surfaces: mechanical and chemical;
• removing corrosion sediments: Lubrication is not a rust converter, under its layer, foci will be distributed further;
• be sure to remove the old lubricant and other compositions to prevent unwanted chemical reactions;
• surface sections that can accidentally have lubricant should be shielded: especially when using aerosol;
• surplus thickness is not necessary.

Where copper grease is applied - video

Due to the unique properties, the copper lubricant can be used not only in car mechanisms and special equipment.

1. Foundry enterprises: up to the processing of fasteners and hinges of containers for molten metal, as well as molds.
2. Metallurgical enterprises: Rolling plants, blacksmiths, press for hot metal molding. The only limitation is the copper lubricant is not applied on highly involuted shafts and bearings.
3. Oil refineries: Sealing flange compounds subject to aggressive exposure to petrochemistry.
4. Production Industry: Copper lubricant for drilling rigs practically does not have substitutes.

Features of application in the brake system:
Lubrication for calipers is used only in accordance with the instructions. A widespread error is to apply the same composition on the back of the pads and guide calipers.


Not all formulations are universal in this area. For example, we note: in other cases there are no restrictions on use (within common sense).

The first principle: a reasonable amount. From the point of view of marketing, the greater the capacity - the lower the cost of a unit of volume. Therefore, car services acquire such compositions with 3-10 kilogram banks.

For garage use, this amount is not necessary, the maximum consumable weight: 300-500g. Many car enthusiasts buy small tubes or disposable packages for performing a single service.

It seems logical. But if we compare prices on the counter - the semi-kilogram bank can cost not much more expensive than a tube weighing 150 gr.

Pasta or spray? Despite the obvious convenience when applied, professionals are not recommended to use aerosols. Is that for processing large areas. Quality of application consistant lubricant Anyway above.

The only drawback of pasta is hard to control the expense. Aerosol is economical (while the cost of such a packaging above). The logo on the package does not make sense to discuss. Any manufacturer that produces lubricants according to GOST or TU will provide the same product quality.

Copper-based lubricants protect threaded connections From welding, wear, hotels due to the high thermal resistance of elements included in it.

Lubricant high temperature ROXOL CU-650 Made based on basic oil With a high viscosity index, this is not slipping from the surface, it has a high adhesion to the metal - it allows it to be used in detail and joints with a fairly large gap.

Lubrication ensures reliable operation of mechanisms working in the most difficult conditions, effectively eliminates the jamming and ensures trouble-free installation / disassembly. Thanks to the imported package of additives, the paste has high tribological characteristics and protects against corrosion in the most difficult conditions.

In order for the lubricant to work correctly, it is not only true to choose the material, but also correctly apply it.

Before applying to the surface, it is desirable to clean the surface from dirt, dust and residues of the previous lubricant, it is also desirable to wash the part in a solvent or gasoline, after drying to apply a lubricant in sufficient quantities, but without excess, in case of their appearance, excess lubrication should be removed by rag. In the case of applying for threads, it is necessary to ensure an inseparable application to the surface of the assembly unit.

Features of copper lubricants as metal-plating materials

Reducing the friction and wear of metal surfaces is the main purpose of plastic lubricants. Laboratory studies confirm that the introduction of fine copper powder, as a soft metal, allows you to increase the antifriction effect, but the main thing is to continuously generate a lubricating film in the contact area of \u200b\u200brubbing surfaces. This property makes copper lubricants are particularly valuable and allows to significantly increase the process of maintenance efficiency of nodes, where elements of titanium and austenitic steel alloys are present.

The molecular and colloidal structure of films of metal-plating lubricants differs significantly from ordinary plastic materials. With the introduction of fine copper in the lubricant, the load range until the moment of the weldability of the surfaces increases almost 1.5 ÷ 2 times and is formed thin, in just a few atomic layers of a servo film that is capable of self-restoration and creates an imperceptibility effect. It is very resistant to:

• rupture;
• oxidation;
• dusting with suspenders.

The formation of a servo film causes an increase in the area of \u200b\u200bthe actual contact of the surfaces, making uniformly distributed elastic deformations in conjugate planes. High heat-oxidative resistance critically reduces the appearance of oxide films and voltages compiled in an ultra-thin surface layer. Metal microparticles and porous wear products as a result of friction are charged electrically and under its effects are held in friction nodes and more evenly focus in gaps, micropores and cracks. They are transferred from one surface to another and thereby protect them from destruction. Such a situation contributes to a multiple reduction in wear not only contact surfaces, but also processed parts in general.

The entire range of copper lubricants is characterized by improved antifriction, anti-wear and antisaded properties. They are perfectly opposed to the penetration of moisture, pairs and volatile components and excellently warn the welding and shift moments of the bully, as well as:

• increase the intemmatical interval trip;
• reduce friction losses almost up to 200%;
• very economical and allow to reduce the consumption of lubricant material 2 ÷ 2.5 times.

Compared to analogues, copper metal-plating lubricants do not flow and resistant to extrusion. Possess increased lifting capacity and high strength and thereby provide long and stable work Without jamming of rubbing surfaces. The low friction coefficient also contributes to the minimal physical wear of the metal surface structure. The minimum destructurization, in turn, significantly reduces the degree of contamination of the lubricating layer of wear products.

In addition, the properties of copper lubricants can also be optimized by making individual or complex additives. Physical, mechanical and tribological properties in combination with an extended temperature interval make them universal in use and allow you to significantly increase the profitability of the production cycle. The economic effect associated with the use of copper lubricants has been successfully achieved in various sectors of the national economy.

On the use of copper lubricants and copper-based pastes, you can summarize:

Copper high temperature lubricant - for processing parts, threaded connections, calipers and mechanisms to reduce wear and corrosion protection should be applied by comparing many factors:

• impact and temperature range during operation
• the possibility of rust appearance (if the surface of the parts is exposed to aggressive influence)
• the speed and nature of rotation or vibratory loads

Copper lubricants and pastes based on mineral Oil It should be used in the operating temperature range from minus 25 to + 650 degrees, since at lower temperatures the base oil will simply freeze. For use at lower temperatures up to minus 60, for example, a copper paste on the basis of synthetic base oil (PJSC, dieters, etc.) is used in heavy career techniques for processing friction surfaces.

The copper paste based on synthetic polyalphaole oil is used to process the braking system, surfaces of mechanisms, disks, ignition systems in polar and arctic technique, where the moment of stroking is important. At the same time, the surface is protected not only from wear with lubrication, but also on corrosion, due to the fact that the compositions of such lubricants are usually modified with powerful anti-phoned additives based on imidoazolines, and copper powders perform the role of a protective protection precipitating to the surface of copper monolayer.

Copper lubricant is a lubricant intended for household and industrial applications. Lubrication retains its properties at extreme temperatures from - 30 ºС to +1100 ºС. It is used to process threads of spark plugs, guides brake shoes, wheel bolts, fastening and connecting elements of the exhaust path system, as well as other parts and suspensions operating at elevated temperatures and pressure.

Copper lubricant has high conservation and hydrophobic properties - protects the mechanisms, the elements of the compound when operating under special conditions under the influence of high temperatures, pressure, moisture and steam. It has high adhesion to any material (cast iron, aluminum, bronze, steel, brass, nickel). Prevents erase threads. Prevents the occurrence of rust, corrosion, jamming, hardening, abrasion and premature wear.

table 2

Application of copper paste in car brake nodes vehicle Recommended by leading world manufacturers - Honda, Nissan, Subaru.

However, its scope is not limited only to the brake system (Table 3). The presence of paste in a convenient aerosol packaging makes it possible to apply it to hard-to-reach units, where the use of lubricants in conventional packaging is a much more laborious process.

Table 3.

Due to the low evaporation under the conditions of extreme temperatures and high loads, the paste has been widely used in the equipment of the food industry.

So, widespread use of pasta received for lubrication roller bearings Chunk trolleys in bakery. With the help of a special nozzle, the aerosol paste easily goes to the hard-to-reach friction assemblies and in conditions of extremely high temperatures provides long-term lubricant, significantly prolonged intervals between maintenance These nodes:

Some other examples of applying copper paste in food equipment equipment are shown in Table 4.

Table 4.

For the operation of equipment of the mining, chemical, petrochemical and metallurgical industry, the norm is extremely high temperatures and high loads. The application of paste allows you to maximize productivity and extend the service life of the mechanisms even with peak modes of operation. Real examples of its positive use in enterprises of the mining, chemical, petrochemical and metallurgical industry are shown in Table 5.

Table 5.

When the equipment for the processing of polymeric materials, its individual components are heated to extremely high temperatures. This leads to the bipaping of contacting surfaces, threaded connections and is the main cause of problems when dismantling the nodes, breaking the thread, the breakfast of studs and bolts. To eliminate the listed problems, the paste is used (see Table 6).

Table 6.

Good adhesion, heat resistance, an increased bearing ability of paste makes it possible to protect bearings of transport tolls for the production of plaster materials and powder paint lines, threaded compounds of corrugated cardboard lines and many other products in a wide variety of industries, where the protection of parts exposed to high temperatures, water, steam and corrosion.

An extensive list of examples of successful use of paste in enterprises is due to its high performance indicators that often exceed the characteristics of previously used, including those recommended by the manufacturer, lubricants.

The spectrum of the application of paste is not limited to the nomenclature of the nodes given in the article. The region of its specific applications can be significantly expanded on the basis of compliance of the characteristics of the passage of the operating conditions of the equipment.

Lubrication of rolling bearings has its own specifics. The presence of a large amount of lubricant in the bearing is unacceptable and can lead to a deterioration of its characteristics or failure. Application should be made in a thin layer directly on the rolling tracks.
