Introduction to Polybutene
Polybutenes (also called Polybutylenes or Polyisobutylenes) are hydrocarbon synthetic fluids produced by the co-polymerisation of butenes and isobutenes. Polybutenes differ from most other oils by decomposing at temperatures of 250°C to 275°C through a depolymerisation or unzipping mechanism. Polybutene summary:…
Electrical switch grease introduction
The ability of a switch grease used in a switch design to prevent contact surface wear is normally the primary goal. Wear debris can create two problems; it can inhibit current flow when the contact is closed, potentially increasing millivolt…
5gram tube overview
Much of our grease range is available in a 5gram tube. The 5gram tube is small and so more suitable for field service kits and aftermarket use. The 5gram tubes have a screw cap lid and already have a 1.52mm (0.06inch)…
Semi-Automated Dispensing of Lubricants
For grease dose accuracy, consistent repeatability and process control, a semi-automated application method should be considered. The system setup we are proposing in this article involves the purchase of a small benchtop/desktop pneumatic dispensing device and the chosen grease being…
Lubrication regime explanation-Types of lubrication
There are three primary lubrication regimes, which are boundary, mixed, and hydrodynamic lubrication. Lubrication regimes describe the type of lubrication film that is created under specific operating conditions and is dependent on the degree of contact between surfaces. Boundary Lubrication…
Introduction to Polyalphaolefin (PAO)
Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oils are stable, lubricious fluids that are compatible with most plastics and elastomers. PAO oils are considered a great replacement for petroleum based products, are used in countless applications and industry sectors. PAO summary: Temperature range of -60…
What is grease?
What constitutes a grease? There are three main components that make a grease, base oil, thickener (sometimes called gellent) and an additive package. Making a grease is thought to be like extreme cooking and in the video, we tried to…
How electrical connector lubricants work
You may be considering using a connector grease, but how do they work? Firstly, we will be focusing on connector grease rather than oil. Grease is mostly preferred over oil for basic practical reasons – for the most part a…
