Synthetic Graphite Lubricants

When the Heat is On

Our synthetic graphite lubricants can operate at temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit while still maintaining integrity and performance.

These versatile lubricants can be applied as stand-alone coatings or over the top thermally sprayed coatings to enhance system functionality and durability.

CTS also offers high-temperature thermal spray wear coatings that retain low quantities of friction to mitigate galling—and possess extreme wear-resistant properties to combat vibrational and frictional wear.

Solutions that Stick

Counteract Slick Surfaces

CTS produces a variety of robust thermal spray ultra-grip coatings proven to last.

We can match or replace your existing dry-film coatings, roughening any surface to provide the exact level of traction your product needs to operate with precision. From conveyor rollers to ship deck surfaces, we ensure the proper surface treatment needed to improve your product’s safety while maximizing its efficiency.
