Fluids used to reduce friction and wear between solid surfaces (typically metals) in relative motion. Lubricants are generally derived from petroleum.
Oily or slippery substances. A substance used to reduce friction and wear; the most common industrial lubricant is motor oil Internal (mixed into the compound) to reduce tendency to stick to processing equipment or to lower heat build up on flexing. External (sprayed on) to reduce tendency to stick to a mold. In coatings, chemicals added primarily to improve flow and finishing properties. ( in lubrication: Liquid, oily lubricants. ) ...inertness and because lubrication requirements have become more demanding, they have been largely ... Compounds or chemicals which are mixed into the magnetic layer, or applied externally, to aid in the runnability and durability of the magnetic media. Typically, these may be fatty acids or Carbons. Internal lubricants reduce the friction between the PVC particles during compounding. External lubricants will adjust friction/release against hot ... are used to reduce friction between moving parts in the engine. A lubricant (sometimes referred to 'Lube') is a substance (often a liquid) introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the friction and wear ...
