Greases and LubricantsGreases and lubricants are products that are used to reduce friction and wear between moving parts in machinery and other equipment. Greases are semisolid lubricants that are typically made from a base oil combined with a thickening agent, such as a soap or clay. They are used to lubricate parts that are subject to high loads or extreme temperatures, and are often applied using a grease gun. Lubricants, on the other hand, are liquid or gaseous substances that are used to lubricate parts that are not subject to such extreme conditions. Lubricants can include oils, greases, and other fluids, and are often applied using a pump or other dispensing system. Both greases and lubricants are important for reducing friction, wear, and energy consumption in industrial machinery and other equipment.
