Industrial Lubricants
Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.
Dielectric Greases and Insulating Fluids
Dielectric greases and insulating fluids are insulating oils, greases, transformer oils and fluids that have a high dielectric strength and are used in transformers, capacitors, EDM machining, and other electrical device applications.
Rust Preventives and Corrosion Inhibitors
Rust preventives and corrosion inhibitors are lubricants, greases, oils or fluid additives that form a protective film or barrier to prevent corrosion or rust formation.
Penetrants and Penetrating Oils
Penetrants and penetrating oils are low viscosity fluids used to free rusted or corroded nuts, bolts, fasteners, shafts, pulleys and other mechanical parts. Most penetrating fluids contain a low viscosity solvent or volatile vehicle.
Anti-seize Compounds
Anti-seize compounds, anti-stick compounds, and thread lubricants are applied to threads to prevent binding or sticking bolts or fasteners.
