Whale oil was a historically important lubricant, with some uses up to the latter part of the 20th century as a friction modifier additive for automatic transmission fluid. [11] In 2008, the biolubricant market was around 1% of UK lubricant sales in a total lubricant market of 840,000 tonnes/year. [12]
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 pressure relief system is used when the volume of lubricant applied must be precise. [10] Resistant oil lubricators use the resistance of an outlet to control a continuous flow of lubricant. Further control is given by proportion adapters or oil meter adapters. Resistant oil lubricators are used when a precise volume of lubricant is less ...
Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines. They typically consist of base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additives , detergents, dispersants , and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers .
Due to the strong coupling between lubricant hydrodynamic action and the elastic deformation in contacting solids, this regime of lubrication is an example of Fluid-structure interaction. [4] The classical elastohydrodynamic theory considers Reynolds equation and the elastic deflection equation to solve for the pressure and deformation in this ...
"The industrial lubricant market is entering a new phase of growth, driven by the convergence of technological innovation, sustainability initiatives, and the expansion of industrial activities. With the increasing focus on reducing energy consumption and operational costs, we expect the demand for high-performance and eco-friendly lubricants ...
Oil additives are chemical compounds that improve the lubricant performance of base oil (or oil "base stock"). The manufacturer of many oils can use the same base stock for each formulation and can choose different additives for each use. Additives comprise up to 5% by weight of some oils. [1]
Her remixes weren’t the only thing revving engines: Her red latex suit included checkerboard detailing, contrasting side panels, and star decals that spelled out “sliving.”
