Substances used to reduce friction between bearing surfaces, or incorporated into other materials used as processing aids in the manufacture of other products, or used as carriers of other materials. Petroleum lubricants may be produced either from distillates or residues. Lubricants include all grades of lubricating oils, from spindle oil to cylinder oil to those used in greases.
Thick liquids like oil that are used to reduce friction, heat, and wear on moving parts in a machine.
Substances used to reduce friction between bearing surfaces. Petroleum lubricants may be produced from either distillates or residuals.
Substances that make skin feel smoother to the touch and reduce friction.
A slick, gel-like substance used to reduce friction during sexual activity. Some lubricants are water-based and therefore safe to use with latex (condoms, dams, etc.). Some are silicone-based, which is slicker and longer-lasting, but incompatible with silicone toys and cyberskin toy material. Personal lubricants are also known as sex lube. Learn more about Personal Lubricants.
Internal lubricants reduce the friction between the PVC particles during compounding. External lubricants will adjust friction/release against hot metal surfaces. Other lubricants will control fusion time or give anti-blocking properties to PVC films (prevent their tendency to cling to each other).[A-E] [F-L] [R-W] M-P
Fluids used to reduce friction and wear between solid surfaces (typically metals) in relative motion. Lubricants are generally derived from petroleum.
(LOO-brih-kants): Oily or slippery substances.
Dense, viscous products refined from crude oil, such as motor oil, bearing grease, or machine oil.
