Known for their excellent lubricating properties, mineral-oil-based lubricants typically are used for multipurpose lubrication of mechanical components – such as bearings, chains, gears, slides and threaded connections – where operating temperatures typically range from -17°C to 150°C.
Mineral oils accept many additives that can impart a variety of performance benefits for custom lubrication solutions, such as protection against microwelding in threaded connections. These oils also are compatible with many grease thickener systems.
