K2 graphite Lubricant Spray, Graphite, Graphite Spray Graphite Lubricant, 400ml

Product Information

For applications where only a minor lubricity is needed and a more thermally insulating coating is required, then amorphous graphite would be chosen (80% carbon). The options that seem to be the cleanest are the more earth-friendly lubricants, which also utilize a more precise application process. The active lubricant in Tri-Flow is Teflon, which is just a brand name for PTFE ( polytetrafluoroethylene)—like Hershey is a brand name for chocolate.

It has excellent outdoor durability, lasts a long time, and prevents rust and corrosion, even in humid and coastal locations. In crystalline form structures such as DRY MOLY and DRY GRAPHITE, the shear forces between opposing layers are weak resulting in lubricity between sliding surfaces.Synthetic graphite is a high temperature sintered product and is characterized by its high purity of carbon (99.5−99.9%). Primary grade synthetic graphite can approach the good lubricity of quality natural graphite. Most reviewers have been very happy with this lubricant and we understand why. It worked great for everything we tested it on, and we will buy another bottle when this one runs out. Graphite is a traditional dry powder lubricant. The application of graphite in oils has significant economic benefits and has many advantages. With the development of science and technology and the deepening of scientific research, graphite lubricating materials have expanded to appear in the form of graphite derivatives, such as flake nano-graphite, expanded graphite, fluorinated graphite, and compound or straightforward intercalated graphite.The layered structure, and because of the effect of the intercalation substance, makes the layer spacing significantly increased, which is hugely beneficial to the improvement of lubrication performance.

You may not know it, but one of the most common graphite lubricant uses is as coating on pots and pans. Since the graphite can tolerate heat, it works well as a coating. While many pots and pans tend to use Teflon as a coating, many also contain graphite. A Lubricant is a substance that when applied in a thin layer to an item or machinery, reduces friction, heat, and wear between the solid surfaces that are in contract with each other. By having the right and appropriate Lubricant, the friction and wear for the materials can be controlled, therefore, providing a reliable operation within the workplace, in the long run, will save you money on maintenance.High temperature. Graphite and MoS 2 act as lubricants at high temperature and in oxidizing atmosphere environments, where liquid lubricants typically will not survive. A typical application involves fasteners that are easily tightened and unscrewed after a long stay at high temperatures. Fluoride graphite is a graphite intercalation compound produced by the direct reaction of fluorine and carbon. Ruffo first reported fluorinated graphite in 1937. The study found that the interlayer bond energy of fluorinated graphite is much lower than that of graphite, and the interval between fluorinated graphite layers is also twice that of graphite layers, which has led scientists to study their lubrication properties.

Graphite is structurally composed of planes of polycyclic carbon atoms that are hexagonal in orientation. The distance of carbon atoms between planes is longer and, therefore, the bonding is weaker. We love that it goes on clear, unlike many dry lubricants, which can leave a residue. This also means it can be difficult to see where it has already been applied, but we think the tradeoff is fair.

This lubricant also makes the lubrication process quite easy. With a silicone lube, Teflon-based lubricant, or PTFE lubricants, you risk a mess that would need to be cleaned up and risks staining the surrounding area.

Keep moving parts clean and running smooth.

Infomak is dedicated to the technology development of special oil additives, combined the t echnology of nanomaterials developed dry lubricant and oil additives two series. Our products can significantly improve the performance of lubricating oil, improve energy efficiency, effectively protect the lubrication device and extend the oil change cycle, which can satisfy the lubrication oil constantly upgrading for high-end engine oil additives. Reciprocating motion. A typical application is a sliding or reciprocating motion that requires lubrication to minimize wear, as, for example, in gear and chain lubrication. Liquid lubricants will squeeze out while solid lubricants do not escape, preventing fretting, corrosion, and galling. However, a layered crystal structure alone is not necessarily sufficient for lubrication. In fact, there are some solids with non-lamellar structures that function well as dry lubricants in some applications. These include certain soft metals ( indium, lead, silver, tin), polytetrafluroethylene, some solid oxides, rare-earth fluorides, and even diamond. [2] Tungsten disulfide. Similar usage as molybdenum disulfide, but due to the high cost only found in some dry lubricated bearings.
