FriCSo - Friction Control Solutions

The FriCSo PATENTED polymer lapping process is a rapid surface modification operation that improves the surface finish and the friction performance of treated metallic surfaces, without introducing dimensional changes

Polymer Tools for surface treatment using existing in-line mass-production machines significantly reducing friction between moving parts

Polymer Tools for Surface treatment using existing hand held air tools, die grinders and drills significantly improving the surface finish

•	For automotive, hydraulic, and machinery industries
•	Significant friction reduction in any working conditions
•	Creates oil-retaining nanolayer especially effective in severe tribological working conditions
•	Reduces fuel consumption
•	Deployed on current mass-production machinery at current throughput
•	Significant wear reductions
•	Improves energy efficiency
•	Opens new horizons in environmental protection

•	Finishing a variety of curves, diameters, and cutting edges of dies and molds made of various steels and cast iron alloys, with hardness ranging approximately from 28Rc to 68Rc
•	Achieving “mirror like” finish after very short lapping time (minutes), using existing air tools and die grinders
•	Removing only few microns of stock while not changing the working surface geometry
