Greasing of bearings using ultrasound, often described as best practice, helps us understand how much grease needs to be applied. Ultrasound is a good measure of friction – too little or too much grease in a bearing produces elevated friction levels. Using ultrasound, the right quantity of grease is determined by assessing the levels. SDT… Continue

Valvoline HT-12 Green and Pink: premium coolants for modern engines, BMW & VW approved One of the most important fluids used in internal combustion engines, in addition to engine oil, is the coolant. It performs many different functions, the most important of which is to dissipate the excess heat produced by the engine into the… Continue

Amines are widely used in water-based metalworking fluid (MWF) concentrates, to neutralize acid-functional components and maintain alkaline pH once diluted by the end user. Today, it is a major challenge for formulators to find effective amines considering new regulations in a globally changing environment. Commonly used amines, such as monoethanolamine (MEA), triethanolamine (TEA), monoisopropanolamine (MIPA)… Continue

Lubricant Expo interviewed their Advisory Board member David Wright, Director General of UKLA. They discussed how UKLA acts as the “voice of the lubricant industry”, why the industry needs to come together to have a sustainable future and what attracted him to being a part of Lubricant Expo’s advisory board.

As the world moves away from traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs) and towards complete electrification, the lubricant standards and test methods built up over a century of motoring become less valid. Fluids for EVs have similar basic requirements to those for ICE vehicles: They must lubricate and cool moving components, reducing friction and wear and… Continue
