Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3

1. Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3

Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3 is a durable, PFPE-based sliding fluid engineered to reduce creaking noise (NVH) and deliver lifetime lubrication to seals, guideways, and plastic friction points. Its unique solvent blend ensures easy application without flammable vapors, forming a thin, visually neutral film suitable for visible and interior parts. The product works across various industries, notably automotive and chemical sectors

2. Performance of Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3

• NVH-optimized: Minimizes squeaks and rattles in dynamically moving plastic/plastic or plastic/elastomer contacts—ideal for launches of new vehicle models .

• Evaporation-resistant: Offers long-term performance with no significant loss at elevated temperatures .

• Efficient with other lubricants: Performs smoothly with most elastomers, plastics, and prior PFPE treatments, reducing risk of chemical incompatibility

3. Features of Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3

• PFPE base oil: Non-reactive, stable over broad temperature ranges.

• Three viscosity options: MR 3, MR 3‑500, MR 3‑800 allow precise tuning up to 250 °C

• Solvent + pump spray: Non-flammable, greenhouse-gas-free neat spray

• Visually clear: Transparency ensures aesthetic integrity in visible areas

• Resistant to evaporation and dust adhesion: Nearly dry film avoids contamination build-up

23. FAQs

1. Best used for what?
   Ideal for reducing noise and friction in plastic/elastomer dynamic components.

2. How to apply?
   Clean surface, spray lightly, let solvent evaporate → dry film remains.

3. Is it eco-friendly?
   PFPE is inert; solvent evaporates quickly; disposal via regulated waste procedures.

4. Can it mix with other lubricants?
   Safe with most plastics/elastomers. Avoid mixing bases; consult compatibility first.

5. Can I use it outdoors?
   Yes—stable up to 250 °C, resistant to evaporation, in dust-free environments.
