"Wear due to static and dynamic friction"
Alternating static and dynamic friction and their continuous action on the mechanical components inevitably lead to their wear, or even to malfunctioning and breakage if excessively neglected.
The use of lubricants therefore becomes essential to preserve the integrity of the materials used in your project or that make up your machinery as much as possible.

"How is sheet metal bent?"
If once the bending of metals in the form of sheets was carried out manually by expert blacksmiths, today cutting-edge technologies and machinery are used, which allow for greater speed of operation and consequently a more consistent production.
But how does this bending work? Below we will talk about plastic deformation of metal sheets.
"Keep calm & reduce friction"
The steel-steel friction is the force that opposes the movement of two bodies in mutual contact and made of the same material, with the risk that over time the two components are damaged or even break.

Examples of oxidation corrosion
Metal oxidation is the phenomenon whereby a metal that combines with oxygen undergoes a subtraction of electrons. This reaction involves the development of energy in the form of light, heat or electricity. In this post, we list 3 examples of phenomena or conditions that can give rise to oxidation corrosion to the detriment of your components.

Hey cold, you don’t scare me!
You know when you leave your car sitting outside in the cold in winter and, when you have to use it, you need to warm it up first? Well, now imagine the same effect on the various components of your project. Low temperatures modify the physical and mechanical-dynamic characteristics of the materials and can cause premature malfunctions of the mechanical devices housed within.
lubrication for automotive connectors
Electrical connectors are components that allow two or more electrical parts to be electrically connected mechanically. Of the numerous types available on the market, automotive electrical connectors are certainly amongst those most subject to wear. Correct lubrication for these devices must take into account two distinct phases.

the advantages of silicone oils
When we talk about synthetic lubricants, silicone oils are among the most effective in the lubrication of mechanical components operating at high temperatures. Their high sliding property makes them the best choice for metal-plastic and rubber-metal combinations, also thanks to their inertia and reduced interaction with the materials they wrap.

Zero risk to health
When we talk about food production and processing, the use of the correct food grade lubricant is essential in modern industrial production plants, where automation and the correct functioning of the components determine the success of the production itself.
However, if lubrication is not carried out correctly or is done using unsuitable substances and products, it can lead to a non-negligible risk: contamination of the final product.
A long life for electrical connectors
Electrical connectors are a very broad and specific category in the sector, so it is essential that the functionality, performance and durability of the component are certified and guaranteed over time.
For this to occur, each electrical connector must be protected by a specific lubricant, designed and built to meet specific needs.

Proper lubrication of automotive electrical connectors is necessary to keep the contact resistance constant over time and thus increase the average life, both during usage and in wiring operations.
Fluorogrease 917 A fluorinated lubricating grease, for example, creates an electro-compatible film for separating the sheeting, interposing in the non-contact areas and depressions, ensuring continuous protection of automotive connectors from wear and contact corrosion.
This is the perfect lubricant for electrical connectors due to:
Preventing the increase in electrical resistance.
