Hydraulic oil and other fluids have many uses. It serves as a lubricant, a sealant, and a conduit for the transfer of power or energy. It is a fluid that cleans contaminants from the machinery and also cools it. In order to transfer power, hydraulic machinery and equipment use a... Read More →

The main purpose of lubricants is to decrease the friction between two surfaces that are in touch with one another. By doing so, lubricants also assist in decreasing the heat produced as the surfaces move.   The vital force of friction keeps everything from moving all the... Read More →

Only fractions with the proper weight and viscosity were regarded as adequate in the early days of the oil industry for the manufacturing of base oils for lubricants used in automobile engines and other high-speed machinery. Oil refineries created a number of thermal and... Read More →

A paraffin-like substance used to coat oil rigs was determined to be petroleum jelly, also known as BF (Liquid Grease). By distilling the waxy petroleum substance that developed on oil rigs, petroleum jelly is created. Petroleum jelly, commonly referred to as white petrolatum or... Read More →

The heart of practically any lubricant is base oil. If you’re still unsure, consider the following instances. About 7% to 10% of engine oil is made up of additional chemicals, with the balance being base oil. Transmission fluids have a few extra additives—perhaps 10% to... Read More →

Although greases can be used as lubricants, they are not all greases! As a starting point, consider the following definition from the American Society for Testing and Materials: “A solid to semi-fluid result of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant; other additives may... Read More →

Il grasso è un lubrificante solido o semisolido creato da un lubrificante liquido con additivi addensanti. Il grasso contiene comunemente sapone emulsionato e olio minerale o vegetale. Il grasso ha una viscosità iniziale elevata che diminuisce con il taglio, dando luogo a un... Read More →

L’acquaragia minerale, comunemente chiamata sostituto dell’acquaragia, sostituto della trementina o semplicemente trementina, è un’alternativa a basso costo a base di petrolio per l’acquaragia vegetale. Viene spesso utilizzata come solvente organico in... Read More →

I lubrificanti sono composti utilizzati per ridurre al minimo l’attrito e l’usura tra le superfici in movimento. Sebbene questo sia il ruolo principale dei lubrificanti, essi possono essere utilizzati anche come agente di trasferimento del calore, come preventivo... Read More →

L’olio di base naftenico è un tipo di olio di base del gruppo V prodotto mediante idrotrattamento di distillati dolci grezzi a pressioni superiori a 2500 psi. Il basso punto di scorrimento, l’eccellente liquidità, il basso contenuto di cere e il basso contenuto di... Read More →
