Lubricants nature

Molybdenum disulhde (M0S2), graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, and boric acid are examples of lamella materials commonly applied as solid lubricants. The self-lubricating nature of the materials results from the lamella crystalline structure that can shear easily to provide low friction. Some of these materials used to be added to oils and greases in powder forms to enhance their lubricity. Attention has been shifted in recent years to the production and use of nanosize particles of M0S2, WS2, and graphite to be dispersed in liquid lubricants, which yields substantial decreases in friction and wear. 

Zku Li is the coldest of these three herbs. It enters the Heart, Lung and Stomach meridians. It has a lubricating nature, can strongly eliminate phlegm-heat from the Heart, open the Heart orifice and unblock the meridians and collaterals so as to treat mental confusion, numbness and tingling of the limbs. 

Stearic acid is an activator of vulcanization, as is zinc oxide, both reacting to form zinc stearate, which enhances the activity of the organic accelerators. Zinc stearate is impractical to add directly to the rubber because its shppery, lubricating nature makes it difficult to mix in the batch (see... 

Alkanes are used primarily as fuels, solvents, and lubricants. Natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, lubricating oil, and paraffin wax are all composed primarily of alkanes, with different physical properties resulting from different ranges of molecular weights.

Bloch, H. P. 2009. Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities, 2nd ed. Lilbum, GA Fairmont Press. This updated edition by Bloch describes categories of lubricants and their testing, addresses in individual chapters specific types of lubricants (natural and synthetic oils, greases, waxes, etc.), then delves into the appropriate industrial uses of those lubricants. 

Spermaceti was historically used primarily for the manufacture of cosmetic products such as ointments, cosmetic creams and pomades. Later it was used for the manufacture of fine wax candles, in textile finishing and as an industrial lubricant. Natural or bleached beeswax is used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, and a practical uses include the making of candles (today only for luxury and church candles), and various dressings and poKshes. Lanohn is an important raw material in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. 

Wear resistance is improved by a factor of 2 to 3 due to its modified microstructure and the lubricable nature of graphite (Ivanov 1972). 

Compositional analysis is concerned with determining structural relationships in the molecules present in a sample. Inhared spectroscopy is the most commonly used tool for qualitative chemical analysis of viscous oils. Descriptions and tables of characteristic absorbance for a variety of organic functional groups are readily available in many textbooks. Techniques for quantitative anal3rsis for many additives and some hydrocarbon types are available, although few have been issued as ASTM standards. Reports on new methods are commonly reported in the chemistry literature. To locate information on new analytical methods, a most useful reference is the bi-aimual Application Review published by the American Chemical Society. These have appeared recently in the June 15 issue of Analytical Chemistry in odd-numbered years. Recent reviews cover coal, crude oil, shale oil, heavy oils (natural and refined), lubricants, natural gas, and refined products and source rocks. Extensive references to original research papers are provided. A complimentary Fundamental Review covering the basic analytical techniques is published in even-numbered years. 

Man-made, synthetic fibers need spin finishes, which enable production and processing of the fiber, such as drawing, warping and texturizing. They simultaneously act as lubricants and impart antistatic properties. They are applied onto the surface of the fiber and are formulations that contain lubricants (natural oils, e.g., - coconut or - peanut oil, fatty acids, esters and the ethoxylates of fatty alcohols, or - castor oil), emulsifiers (soaps, sulfonated oils, - fatty alcohol ether phosphates, - fatty amines either ethoxylated or quatemized, and - fatty alcohol ethoxylates). They contain also antistatic agents such as fatty alcohol ether phosphates, quaternary ammonium compounds and betains. 

Internal mixing of synthetic polyisoprenes is also characterised by their ability to pick up oils or other liquid ingredients or melted materials which tend to lubricate natural rubber batches and lead to wasted energy input and temperature drop within the batch.
