The use of innovative lubricants improves the quality and efficiency of any equipment. A fairly wide range of such products is presented on the modern market, however, choosing the most effective option for lubricating specific units operating in extreme conditions is not an easy task that requires appropriate skills and knowledge.
Scope of application of copper pastes and lubricants
Many of us have heard of copper-based lubricants, but not everyone knows what they are and where they are used. This lubricant is widely used in metallurgy, automotive, food, petrochemical and foundry industries.
Why is copper grease so popular? The thing is that this material is able to withstand high temperatures and strong pressure. High-temperature copper grease retains its properties over a wide temperature range - from -30up to +1100 °C, which guarantees its 100% efficiency. It is used to process threaded connections, nuts, terminals, adjusting bolts, plain bearings, valves, hinges, dies, flange connections, etc. Copper grease is an indispensable assistant in tire fitting work for processing bolts and hubs. This material can be applied to almost any surface - cast iron, aluminum, bronze, steel, brass, nickel.
Regular use of special copper pastes, lubricants and sprays will extend the life of expensive equipment. Copper grease fully protects the mechanisms from the effects of physical, chemical and mechanical factors (water, steam, weak s alt and acid-base solutions), reliably protects joints from seizing, soldering, clamping, welding, corrosion during long-term operation under extreme conditions.
Main physical characteristics of copper grease and its benefits
The main advantages of the above lubricants include the following parameters:
- high bearing surface;
- excellent hydrophobic properties;
- high adhesion to any materials;
- no drop point;
- low evaporation rate;
- high temperature resistance;
- easy disassembly of devices even after long-term use;
- good corrosion protection;
- Ensuring constant tightening torque of threaded connections;
- versatility in application;
- gorgeouscapillary properties, allowing the composition to easily penetrate into small cracks and holes.
Copper pastes and greases:
- reduce vibration and noise;
- withstand high pressure;
- provide electrical conductivity;
- lead-free;
- effectively prevent abrasion and jamming of parts.
Copper grease: application features
Before applying the material to the surfaces to be treated, most experts recommend thoroughly cleaning them from dust, old paste and dirt. Copper spray lubricant should be applied to a clean surface. Surplus can not be removed. To apply the product in jars, a special brush or a clean piece of cloth (rag) is used.
