Lubricants are here to stay
Lubricants have been, and are becoming an increasingly essential part of all machinery. All moving parts raging from the high precision surgical instruments, to the heavy duty space crafts need to be properly lubricated for optimum performance. The fundamental purposes of lubricant are to reduce the friction, dissipate heat and minimizing wear and tear between two surfaces in relative motion.
