Introduction Mechanical grease is also known as Industrial Grease. It is a composition of heavy oil, thickeners such as soap and an additive. Soap as a thickener, makes the composition thicker and stickier. Following is the importance of those ingredients in the mechanical grease: Oils: Nowadays, mineral oil is used to make most of the greases which gives high performances and proves beneficial for most industrial machines. But for extreme temperatures, it is advisable to use synthetic oil-based grease as it is more heat resistant and provides better stability. Thickener: Thickeners shape the ..read more

Introduction Damping breaking lubricating grease is a compound having high ecoefficiency of friction. To make the friction surfaces float is the key purpose of damping grease. It also helps in interposition of a continuous, insistent and adhesive plastic along with load bearing film. Its application on the device keeps the properties of the component unhinged for its whole life. It leads to exertion of the high value active friction making it capable of regulating the scrolling speed and creation of anticipated control effect. In terms of consistency, damping fluids can be both oily or greasy ..read more

Introduction High temperature coatings play a significant role in the protection of substrates from corrosion when they are operated on high temperature. Those high heat rated components not only helps in preservation of coating integrity during the extended operations, but also their special additives offer resistance to environmental activities such as cold shock, moisture and exposure to UV rays. High temperature coatings have a maximum temperature of around 1200 F. Types of High Temperature Coatings Following are the types of high temperature coatings: Epoxy Coatings: These are profoundly ..read more

Introduction An anti-seized compound is usually smeared over the fasteners. It helps in preventing threads from the damage. It is very useful when dissimilar metals are involved in making of the threads. Anti-seized compounds act as a vital tool for people who live in areas where corrosion is a major problem as it protects the threads from contamination. However, it is important to note that anti-seized compounds can cause more damage than prevention, if used in an improper way. Tips: The below mentioned tips can guide the proper way of using it by stating the dos and don’ts. Spare use of ant ..read more

Introduction We have explored a lot about different industries and the uses of various materials. Today we will acquire a knowledge about Polyisobutylene. Polymer of Isobutylene leads to the formation of two types of materials. They are Polyisobutylene and butyl rubber. Polyisobutylene is a colourless solid. It becomes a non-reactive substance after it is manufactured. Because of its non- reactive nature, Polyisobutylene is used as medium to modify variety of adhesives and sealants. It is also expected that Polyisobutylene is adaptable to the low temperature due to its property of having low g ..read more

We have been using the silicone term since long and it has become the backbone of many manufacturing and machine industries. If we talk about olden times, the use of rubber was very common as it was a natural product. Gradually men acquired a knowledge about its uses and the ways to extract it from a rubber tree. In early times we had only a natural resource but then we invented a way in which we could have artificial materials and then the ray of hope arises and we could produce synthetic materials. Let us come to the point of silicone rubber. Originally a silicone rubber is made from silica ..read more

There are different kinds of machines and tools. They need regular maintenance. Lubricants play a vital role for the same. Every machine, demands different kind of maintenance and they have various requirement. As a doctor can’t give the same medicine to every patient, same way, every machine gets a specific lubricant. In today’s article, we are going to get an insight about the different kinds of lubricants and their uses. Lubricant is a kind of substance which makes the smallest part of the machine, in a working condition and keeps it smooth. In the list, there are different substances like ..read more

We use many different products as our daily requirements. They become an important part of our daily routine. When we use these products, we forget that these products are made of such material, which is inseparable part of our regular life. We do not pay attention. towards such things. Let us look at one such material which is called wax. It is used for many different purposes. One of such use, is about coating and inks. Wax has got some unique properties which make it the best option for coating and inks.  What is Wax?           &nb ..read more

As we have explored the use of silicone in our previous articles, let us have an insight into the further details about silicone rubber. It is the most demanded material in various industries. It is because it has got different qualities and durability. In today’s article our readers will get to know about silicone rubber and the benefits getting out of its use. Silicone rubbers are the compounds made with the combination of different kinds of rubber with the addition of pure silica content. It gets the advantage of qualities possessed by both silicone and rubber. Most of the industries like e ..read more
