LUBRICATION

Lubricants reduce friction between moving surfaces to facilitate their movement and to reduce weathering.

Lubricant meet several functions within a machine or engine, including dissolved and transported to filter particles resulting from combustion and burnout, the temperature distribution from the lower to the upper part acting as a refrigerant, prevents corrosion by rust parts of the motor or engine, condensing the steam and acting as a gasket seal certain components.

A lubricant consists of a base, which may be mineral or synthetic additives and a set of properties that confer and determine their characteristics. The better the foundation fewer additives need, however you need a perfect communion between these additives and base, without which the base would have a minimal lubrication conditions.
