Low friction coatings tech news

On July 7, 2026, IndustrialSlick Solutions announced the commercial release of "Factory--Glide Pro," a high--durability low--friction coating specifically engineered for high--speed conveyor systems and automated sorting infrastructure. The coating utilizes a proprietary polymer--ceramic composite that reduces surface friction by 35% compared to standard industrial finishes. By minimizing energy consumption and reducing mechanical wear on drive belts and rollers, the technology extends equipment lifespan and lowers operational costs in high--volume logistics and distribution centers.
