Nonfood Compounds Program: Food-Grade Lubricants (Report). NSF International. April 2024. Food-grade lubricants exported into or imported out of Brazil must be certified to ISO 21469. [5] A database of all ISO 21469 certified lubricants is maintained at the NSF's website. [6] It is noteworthy that ISO 21469 has not been updated since 2006.
Nonoxynol-9 is a common ingredient of most vaginal and anal lubricants due to its spermicidal properties. A 2004 study found that over a six-month period, the typical-use failure rates for five nonoxynol-9 vaginal contraceptives (film, suppository, and gels at three different concentrations) ranged from 10% to 20%.
A tube of commercial graphite powder lubricant with molybdenum disulfide additive (called "molybdenum") [33] Due to weak van der Waals interactions between the sheets of sulfide atoms, MoS 2 has a low coefficient of friction. MoS 2 in particle sizes in the range of 1–100 μm is a common dry lubricant. [34]
Motor oil, a common lubricant. A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces.
However, 1,1,1-trichloroethane production has been phased out in most of the world under the terms of the Montreal Protocol due to its contribution to the ozone depletion. As a result, trichloroethylene has experienced some resurgence in use as a degreaser. [18] Trichloroethylene is used to remove grease and lanolin from wool before weaving. [18]
1. Transformer oils. Naphthenic oils have excellent cooling and insulating properties because of a low viscosity index. The good solubility of the oils is also important for enhanced compatibility with seals and gaskets, for example. 2. Process oils. Naphthenic oils are used in a large number of chemical processes due to their good solvent power.
A lubricant, aka lube, is a liquid, made of silicone, water, or oil, used during sexual activity to reduce friction by making the genital skin feel smoother, either solo or with a partner, says ...
Squalene is an organic compound. It is a triterpene with the formula C 30 H 50. It is a colourless oil, although impure samples appear yellow. It was originally obtained from shark liver oil (hence its name, as Squalus is a genus of sharks). An estimated 12% of bodily squalene in humans is found in sebum. [5]
