torrsmörjmedel
Torrsmörjmedel, or dry lubricants, are substances that reduce friction between surfaces without relying on a liquid base. They function by forming a solid film that prevents direct contact between moving parts. Common examples include graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), often referred to by the brand name Teflon. These materials are typically applied as powders, pastes, or incorporated into binders that evaporate or cure, leaving the lubricating film behind.
The primary advantage of dry lubricants is their ability to perform in environments where liquid lubricants
However, dry lubricants are not without their limitations. Their effectiveness can be dependent on the specific
