Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 3 P O 4. It is a white, granular or crystalline solid, highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. TSP is used as a cleaning agent, builder, lubricant, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser. [7]
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.
Today, motor oil in the US is generally sold in bottles of one U.S. quart (950 mL) and on a rarity in one-liter (33.8 U.S. fl oz) as well as in larger plastic containers ranging from approximately 4.4 to 5 liters (4.6 to 5.3 U.S. qt) due to most small to mid-size engines requiring around 3.6 to 5.2 liters (3.8 to 5.5 U.S. qt) of engine oil.
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]
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.
Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, flavourless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 46 and 68 °C (115 and 154 °F), [6] and a density of around 900 kg/m 3. [7] It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Paraffin is unaffected by most common chemical reagents but burns readily ...
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 ...
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.
