Solid lubricants

Solid lubricants are a type of product that is used to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces in low-speed and/or high-load applications. Its solid shape makes it suitable for this kind of situation, where precisely the moving surfaces are in direct contact with each other.

Introduction

There are several types of special solid lubricants, each with specific characteristics that make it suitable for certain applications. Among these, molybdenum disulfide is known for its excellent wear and corrosion resistance, while graphite is used for high-temperature applications.

PTFE, also known as Teflon, is used for high-speed, low-pressure applications, while oxides are used for high-pressure applications.
