What Is Dry Lube And Lubrication using Dry Lubricants?
Lubricants are used to reduce friction and wear between two moving surfaces. There are different types of lubricants such as solid/dry, semi-solid, liquid and gaseous. Dry lubricants can be placed in material form between the two moving surfaces. They prevent direct contact between moving surfaces and reduce friction and wear. Lubricants are also available as ‘Dry lube’ and ‘Wet lube’. A dry lube is a dry lubricant in solid or powder form and does not leave a wet residue. It is usually mixed with alcohol and wax and comes out as a liquid but the alcohol evaporates, leaving a waxy coating.
