How to avoid iron oxidation
What we commonly call iron oxidation is actually an electro-chemical phenomenon. A very particular phenomenon yet also very simple and elementary in its mechanism, which involves the transfer of the smallest electric charges (the negatively-charged sub-atomic particles called electrons) from the area of an atom of a certain element to the area of an atom of a different element.

Which lubricant for your bearings?
If you design mechanical components and deal with bearings on a daily basis, it is important that you have a thorough understanding of the lubrication conditions and the characteristics of the lubricants to be used, in order to improve performance and extend the life of your project.
The dynamic viscosity of bearing grease and its adhesiveness, for example, are two very important characteristics that not all lubricants have to an extent suited to their intended use and which should, in any case, be properly balanced.
high voltage, low wear
It is essential to prevent the formation of the electric arc in the high voltage circuit-breakers operating in the transformer substations. For this purpose, a lubricating grease can play a key role, always if formulated starting from the actual characteristics and operating conditions of the circuit-breaker.

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.

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.
