2. Drying oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

   A drying oil is an oil that hardens to a tough, solid film after a period of exposure to air, at room temperature. The oil hardens through a chemical reaction in which the components crosslink (and hence polymerize ) by the action of oxygen (not through the evaporation of water or other solvents ).

3. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

   Dry lubricants or solid lubricants are materials that, despite being in the solid phase, are able to reduce friction between two surfaces sliding against each other without the need for a liquid oil medium. [1] The two main dry lubricants are graphite and molybdenum disulfide. They offer lubrication at temperatures higher than liquid and oil ...

4. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   More complex dry-sump systems may scavenge oil from other areas where oil may pool, such as in the valvetrain. Power can be further increased if the dry-sump system is designed to create a vacuum inside the crankcase, which reduces air drag (or ' windage ') on moving parts as well.

5. Oil drying agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drying_agent

   An oil drying agent, also known as siccative, is a coordination compound that accelerates the hardening of drying oils, often as they are used in oil-based paints. This so-called "drying" (actually a chemical reaction that produces an organic plastic) occurs through free-radical chemical crosslinking of the oils.

6. Danish oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_oil

   Danish oil being applied to a wooden plinth. Danish oil is a wood finishing oil, often made of tung oil or polymerized linseed oil. Because there is no defined formulation, its composition varies among manufacturers. Danish oil is a hard drying oil, meaning it can polymerize into a solid form when it reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. It can ...

9. Tung oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tung_oil

   Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii). Tung oil hardens upon exposure to air (through polymerization), and the resulting coating is transparent and has a deep, almost wet look. Used mostly for finishing and protecting wood, after numerous coats, the finish can ...
