    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_film_lubricant

    Solid film lubricants are paint-like coatings of very fine particles of lubricating pigment blended with a binder and other additives. The lubricant is applied to a substrate by spray, dip or brush methods and, once cured, creates a solid film which repels water, reduces friction and increases the wear life of the substrate to which it has been applied.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_mist_lubrication

    These oil spray systems are not to be confused with the more economical oil mist systems. However, both oil mist and oil spray applications can take credit for lower frictional losses and both should be taken into account while performing cost justification analyses. These analyses are highlighted in Bloch/Geitner/Ehlert "Optimized Equipment ...
