Specialty Lubrication: Quietly Outperforming
the Competition
   
 

Industry: Automotive Brakes

   
 

Challenge:
A major supplier of automotive disc brakes to OEMs and aftermarket suppliers ran into a road block with the lubricant it used to quell brake noise. A key ingredient, molybdenum disulfide, experienced dramatic cost increases (between 2000 and 2006, molybdenum prices soared from about $2 per pound to about $15 per pound) and tight supplies. To remain competitive, the supplier had to find a grease alternative that met the high performance standards required for automotive brake applications, at a lower cost.

Finding no viable alternative on the market, the supplier turned to Grignard Company.

 
 
Solution:
Leveraging our deep knowledge and experience in specialty greases, Grignard chemists developed a formulation that offered a reduced volume of molybdenum disulfide, combined with a proprietary blend of natural and synthetic graphites. The product, MolyBrake Shh, not only met the customer’s price target but exceeded performance expectations—providing lubrication, temperature performance and water performance far superior to those of competing products.

To meet the customer’s private label packaging needs, Grignard delivered the innovative, cost-saving product in 5cc tubes labeled according to the supplier’s design specifications.
