    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.

  3. Lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

    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.

  4. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert. [3] The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, [4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally invented the compound in 1938. [4]

  5. Extreme pressure additive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_pressure_additive

    [1] The early extreme pressure additives were based on lead salts of fatty acids ("lead soaps"), "active sulfur" compounds (e.g. thiols and elementary sulfur), and chlorinated compounds. During the 1950s the use of lead soaps was eliminated and replaced by zinc and phosphorus compounds such as zinc dithiophosphate. [3] Some of the EP additives are:

  6. Oil additive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

    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]

  7. Synthetic oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil

    A sample of synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for petroleum-refined oils when operating in extreme temperature, in metal stamping to provide environmental and other benefits, and to lubricate pendulum clocks.

    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]
