LUBRICANTS
In all types of machines, the surfaces of moving or sliding or rolling parts rub against each other. Due to this movement against surfaces in contact, friction results. Friction causes a lot of wear and tear and even generates heat. All these results in loss of efficiency and lubricants is the answer. Hence any substance put between two moving/rubbing/sliding surfaces with a view to reduce or eliminate frictional resistance is a lubricant. It is also worthy of note that the demand for lubricant is huge and especially in Industries/07033097160
