Machine grease, also known as lubricating grease or simply grease, is a semi-solid lubricant commonly used in various machinery and mechanical systems to reduce friction and wear between moving parts. Grease consists of a base oil, thickeners, and additives. Here are some key aspects of machine grease.
The base oil in grease can be mineral oil, synthetic oil, or a blend of oils. The choice of base oil depends on the application and operating conditions. Synthetic oils are often used for extreme temperature or high-performance applications.
