Anti-friction coatings for automotive components. The units where and what for MODENGY products are used

A lot of factors affect efficiency and operating term of car units. So, high temperatures and higher friction cause wear of engine parts, vibration and shock loads affect suspension components in a negative way, precipitations and mud provoke open units corrosion.

In order to provide reliable operating and long service lifetime of friction surfaces, the lubricating materials are required to be selected taking into account the pointed factors affection.

The greases and liquid lubricating materials conventionally used in the units of machinery have tendency to oxidizing, aging, in process of operating they are subjected to washing-out, contamination (attract dust and abrasive), and flowing-out.

Therefore, a special king of lubrication compounds - anti-friction solid-film coatings - are used instead of those materials, or in addition to them. They provide long-term (frequently lifetime long) lubrication of the parts improving their operating reliability, and minimizing risk of premature failure of the units.


Advantages of using MODENGY coatings in car units

MODENGY anti-friction solid-film coatings are designed and produced by the Russian Modengy company by their own technology.

They consist of binding components, highly dispersed particles of solid lubricating materials, functional additives and solvents.

The coating gets cured after being applied onto preliminary prepared surfaces. A thin dry lubricating-and-protective film forms on the parts that has high wear-resistance and load-carrying capacity.

MODENGY coatings are widely common in the units of cars, due to their following properties and advantages:

  • Low friction coefficient – from 0,03 
  • Wide service temperature range: -210 to +730 °С 
  • High load-carrying capacity – up to 3,000 MPa 
  • Thin layer thickness – 20 µm 
  • Long service lifetime 
  • Anti-scuffing properties 
  • Resistance to chemically aggressive substances

MODENGY anti-friction solid-film coatings can be applied onto the parts of very various configuration. Due to thin layer thickness, they can be used at mass production of the components without their size correcting


MODENGY coatings application at cars production and repairs

MODENGY coatings find their application virtually in all car systems – from engine parts and suspension to car interior.

These products are used at mass production of automotive components at plants as well as can be used during machinery repairing including for the purpose of restoring the plant coating.

So, a machine engineering enterprise that is one of the leaders on the automotive components market has implemented MODENGY coating based on molybdenum disulfide and graphite into mass production of their items, and specified application of this material in the design documentation after having received positive test results.

This coating reduces friction, makes easier assembly and disassembly of the connections operated under conditions of high temperatures.

MODENGY anti-friction solid-film coatings are also used on the following automotive parts:

To improve reliability and extend operation term of the steering hinge, producers apply MODENGY 1005 anti-friction solid-film coating having high anti-corrosive properties onto the rings and the ball pin. A smooth layer of the material provides friction reduction in the unit, makes process of assembling and disassembling easier, and extends its service lifetime.

For applying these coatings onto the engine components by your own, the Modengy company has released a kit containing the anti-friction solid-film coating based on molybdenum disulfide and graphite as well as a special cleaner-activator. Both these products are supplied in aerosol cans for easy application.

MODENGY Coating For ICE parts is used to restore a plant coating on the car engine piston skirts as well as on the camshafts and crankshafts bushings, valve rods, threaded connections, and it gets only positive feedback from car owners.




The coating effectively protects the parts under extreme engine operational conditions preventing them from damaging under the ‘oil starving’ regime, it doesn’t destruct at exposing to motor oil and fuel.

This product is applied onto the other car elements as well, for instance, onto metal pressing-down ‘dried crusts’ of steering racks to reduce coefficient of static friction, to prevent stick-slip motion, to extend service lifetime.



There is also a kit to apply anti-friction coating onto a throttle valve in the Modengy’s product line. It contains two aerosol cans: a throttle valve cleaner, and an anti-friction solid-film coating based on molybdenum disulfide.

The composition of the cleaner has been designed to effectively remove the most difficult contaminations off the throttle valve surface. The coating for throttle valve increases tightness and sensitivity of the mechanism, prevents jamming.



The products in aerosol cans enable to car owners apply this innovative technology to reduce friction under ‘field’ conditions without using any additional equipment.

One of the common issues at operating a car is squeak of the plastic, rubber, and leather interior elements. For the purpose of improving comfort of car's driver and passengers, MODENGY 1012 ‘anti-squeak’ product is applied onto the parts of doors, seats, armrests, dashboard panel parts that are in close contact.



The translucent water-based coating makes no harm to the interior elements appearance, leaves no stains after curing, nor destructs constructive materials.
