Kluber Kluberalfa MR 3-500

Description

1.Klüberalfa MR 3‑500 Sliding Fluid

Klüberalfa MR 3-500 is a durable, perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-based sliding fluid developed by Klüber Lubrication. Designed to meet modern NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) requirements in automotive and industrial applications, it provides long-lasting lubrication for seals, plastic guides, elastomeric components. Packaged in a convenient pump spray, this quality material offers a clear, nearly dry film that significantly reduces noise without leaving greasy residue, solving creaking and friction issues in vehicle interiors and machinery.

2. Performance of Klüberalfa MR 3‑500

Formulated to excel in both performance and reliability:

• Durability: PFPE base resists evaporation and aging, sustaining lubrication over a long service life

• Noise reduction: Eliminates squeaks and creaks by minimizing friction—ideal for seat adjusters, sunroof rails, seal edges.

• Wide temperature range: Performs continuously from −30 °C to +200 °C, tolerates occasional peaks safely

• Cross-lubricant compatibility: Works well with elastomers, plastics, textiles, leather, and metal—an ideal specific use product for mixed materials.

• Safe and efficient application: Delivered in a non-flammable solvent and eco-friendly aerosol pump—no greenhouse gases

Mixing with other lubricants isn’t recommended as PFPE films work best solo and avoid performance compromise.

3. Features of Klüberalfa MR 3‑500

• PFPE base oil: Ensures exceptional longevity and evaporation resistance

• Clear, thin film: Avoids dust build-up and visible residue

• Non-flammable solvent: Offers safe application without flammable vapor

• Pump-spray packaging: Convenient, gas-free, and eco-conscious

• Broad material compatibility: Works well on most plastics and elastomers

• Wide temperature performance: −30 °C to +200 °C continuous

• Ageing resistance: Maintains film strength over time.

4. Benefits of Klüberalfa MR 3‑500

• Noise elimination: Cuts squeaks and creaks in automotive interiors and equipment

• Component longevity: Reduces wear on seals, sliding parts, and elastomer interfaces

• Minimal maintenance: Long-lasting lubrication means fewer reapplications and lower total cost

• Clean, professional finish: Invisible film avoids oily mess

• Affordable solution: Cost-effective versus tapes or adhesive noise dampeners

• Safe & eco-aware: No VOCs or greenhouse propellants

• Precautions: Use gloves if extended skin contact; avoid inhalation of solvent fumes

8. Color

Clear, invisible film—maintains aesthetics on visible plastic and rubber parts.

9. API Classification

Industrial, not automotive oil; not subject to API classification but recognized for industrial-grade PFPE performance.

10. Operating Temperatures

Continuous operation from −30 °C to +200 °C, ideal for high-heat applications like sunroof tracks and seal lips.

11. Container per Liter

Available in 100 mL spray bottles, 500 mL pump cans, and 10 L drums for maintenance needs.

12. Base Oil

PFPE offers superior thermal and oxidative stability when compared to mineral or silicone oils—perfect for extended high-temperature use.

13. Recommendations for Klüberalfa MR 3‑500

• Pre-clean surfaces with white spirit or Klüberalfa XZ 3-1

• Spray thinly; lubricant layer should be barely visible

• Use in mixed material zones (plastic/elastomer/metal) for best results

14. Maintenance Conditions

• Storage: Keep sealed at 0–30 °C, away from heat/sunlight

• Application: Spray into critical friction points; allow solvent to evaporate

• Re-lubrication: Inspect every 6–12 months; reapply if friction or noise returns

• Disposal: Collect residual PFPE—dispose as PFPE solvent waste

15. Applications of Klüberalfa MR 3‑500

• Automotive: Sunroof rails, sliding seats, door seals, interior trim

• Industrial: Guide rails, valve seals, control cable sheaths

• Chemical plants: O-rings and seals in corrosive environments

• Electronics: Non-flammable lubricant for connectors and switches

• Plastics & composites: Ensures smooth action in high-wear interfaces

18. Reapplication Frequency

Typically annual maintenance—more often in high-usage environments. A light coat often lasts many months due to PFPE’s longevity.

19. Drop Point

Not applicable—PFPE remains fluid across full use range.

20. Viscosity

High kinematic viscosity (~395 mm²/s @ 40 °C) ensures a consistent film that prevents creep and remains effective under load.

21. Flash Point

Non-flammable solvent and PFPE—safe for use around electrical components, ovens, or near heat sources.
