Lubricants play a vital role in reducing friction between moving parts in industrial equipment and machinery. Friction causes unnecessary wear and tear on components and leads to higher operating costs over time if not managed properly. Grease work by forming a thin film or layer that separates metal surfaces as they move past each other. This film allows parts to slide smoothly with minimum resistance.

Types of Grease

There are various types of Lubricants  grease used for different applications depending on factors like temperature, load, ambient conditions, and compatibility with other fluids. Some common types include:

Oil-Based Grease

Oil-based grease are the most widely used type across various industries. They include mineral oils, synthetic oils, and semi-synthetic oils. Mineral oils are refined from crude oil but have limited performance. Synthetic and semi-synthetic oils have enhanced properties for high/low temperatures and offer better oxidation stability and film strength.
