Established in the year of 1987, Silk Lubricants is the leading manufacturer, wholesaler and exporter of Engine Oil, Industrial Fluid and much more. A lubricant is a substance introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces. Non-liquid lubricants include grease, powders (dry graphite, ptfe, molybdenum disulphide, tungsten disulphide, etc.), ptfe tape used in plumbing, air cushion and others. Dry lubricants such as graphite, molybdenum disulphide and tungsten disulphide also offer lubrication at temperatures (up to 350 °c) higher than liquid and oil-based lubricants are able to operate. Limited interest has been shown in low friction properties of compacted oxide glaze layers formed at several hundred degrees celsius in metallic sliding systems, however, practical use is still many years away due to their physically unstable nature.
