PFAE lubricants are extremely compatible, even with hard-to-match plastics, and can be used in extreme temperature applications, up to 500ºF. However, because of their high cost, PFAE lubricants should only be used where necessary. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/large/comma/comma-multipurpose-lithium-grease-nlgi-2-400g-4.jpg Traditional metal grease traps are known to corrode due to the high pH level in most waste water. Plumbing and foodservice professionals have therefore turned to plastic grease traps.

Mineral oils are the more conventional option, mostly because they are cheaper. On the molecular level, mineral oils are typically composed of alkanes distilled from petroleum-based sources. They are often manufactured as a byproduct of the distillation of crude oil to make gasoline and other petroleum products. When it comes to the thermal stability of a lubricant, you will want to consider both ends of the spectrum. At low temperatures, some lubricants might lose on their film-forming capabilities due to increased viscosity. However, some lubricants may start leaking out of the system when exposed to high temperatures. Even worse, some compounds can start breaking down completely outside of their prescribed temperature range. When assessing the thermal stability of a lubricant, the working conditions for your plastic gears will need to be heavily considered. 3.

Tailored Solutions

Comma Multipurpose Grease is a lithium based grease of number 2 (medium) consistency with good temperature tolerance. Suitable for hubs, universal joints, chassis, wheel bearings, electric motor bearings and general greasing. ULL is a long-term, high performance dry lubricant with anti-static properties thus helps to prevent dust build up. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/comma/comma-multipurpose-lithium-grease-nlgi-2-500g-1.jpg Lubrication is an essential component of just about all moving parts, especially in industrial settings. Their main purpose is to reduce the friction between moving parts, thus allowing them to perform more consistently and greatly reduce both wear and tear and power consumption. Depending on the material of the lubricant, it can also act as a buffer against sudden temperature changes or protect against oxidation.

Most mineral oils generally have good compatibility across different plastics. On the other hand, the use of synthetic oils has to be done a bit more selectively. For instance, Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil cannot be used with ABS, PVC, or PC. When to use grease vs. oilOne thing worth mentioning is that plastic gears with embedded internal lubricants, such as PTFE or silicone, may hamper the film-forming ability of external lubricants. For this reason, most designers have to choose between using plastic gears with internal lubricants or using external lubricants with standard plastic gears with no embedded special compounds.

What About Lubricating Plastic Gears?

A lubricant’s compatibility with plastic is largely determined by its chemical structure. Lubricants based on silicone, perfluorinated PFAE, mineral oils, and synthetic hydrocarbons (SHC or PAO), typically work well with plastics. Esters and polyglycols are generally not compatible with plastic, although there are exceptions based on the type of plastic material. Sometimes additives can cause an undesirable or unintended reaction between the lubricant and the plastic. Solid additives like graphite and molybdenum disulfide can penetrate and weaken a plastic part. Conversely, PTFE solid additives can be beneficial in certain cases, such as providing dry lubrication or reducing startup friction. 2. ViscosityWith the prevalence of plastics, it’s no longer surprising to see them in settings and applications that have been traditionally occupied by metals or wood. However, shifting to plastic for mechanical parts also demands a few changes. The use of lubricants appropriate for plastic is a good place to start for anybody relying on plastic gears, bearings, and other moving parts.
