Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints. Industrial lubricants that provide sealing exclude moisture, water or gas from joints or machines. This provides a degree of corrosion protection for both internal and external surfaces. Industrial lubricants are also used in mold release agents and as anti-loading additives on abrasive products. Industrial lubricants are available in a variety of forms such as low viscosity oils, greases (high viscosity), waxes, solid lubricant powders and high temperature silicates. Lubricating oils often consist of natural oils, synthetic silicone oils, petroleum based compounds, or combinations with wax or solid lubricant dispersions.
There are many types of industrial lubricants. Additives are chemical substances that are added to fluids to impart or improve specific properties. For example, extreme pressure (EP) lubricants use chemically active additives to provide a film layer capable of withstanding high loads without disruption. Greases, gels, and lubricating pastes are thick, high viscosity products that do not run or flow off surfaces. Micro-dispersions are oils or lubricating fluids that contain a dispersion of solid lubricant particles such as polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), graphite, and molybdenum disulfide or boron nitride (BN) in a mineral, petroleum or synthetic oil base. Fluid lubricants are a broad category that includes coolants, refrigerants, base oils, and transformer oils. Solid lubricants or dry film lubricants are compounds such as hexagonal flake graphite that are designed to reduce friction, binding or wear; exclude water; or provide other specialized characteristics.
