2. 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.

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. 3-in-One Oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-In-One_Oil

   3-In-One lubricating oil. 3-in-One Oil is a general-purpose lubricating oil sold for household and do-it-yourself use. It was originally formulated in 1894 for use on bicycles, and remains a popular lubricant for their chains.

5. WD-40 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40

   WD-40's formula is a trade secret. [17] The original copy of the formula was moved to a secure bank vault in San Diego in 2018. [18] To avoid disclosing its composition, the product was not patented in 1953, and the window of opportunity for patenting it has long since closed.

6. Molybdenum disulfide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum_disulfide

   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]

7. Lubrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubrication

   At full film elastohydrodynamic lubrication, the generated lubricant film completely separates the surfaces. 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]
