This section is designed to demystify the science behind lubricants, explore their applications, and provide actionable insights to help you make informed decisions.
What Are Lubricants and Why Are They Important?
Lubricants are specialized fluids, greases, or oils designed to minimize friction and wear between moving parts in mechanical systems. They also perform several vital functions, such as:
- Reducing Heat: By dissipating heat generated through friction.
- Protecting Against Corrosion: Preventing rust and chemical degradation of metal surfaces.
- Cleaning Engine Components: Removing contaminants, debris, and sludge.
- Sealing Gaps: Enhancing efficiency by forming seals in specific components like pistons.
