Advantages:

• They ensure lubrication so that rubbed surfaces are protected against wear.
• They protect the rubbing surfaces from the influence of the external environment (moisture, dust, etc.).
• They exhibit resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses (local overloads, sudden speed changes, etc.).
• They are not oxidized.
• They ensure system sealing.
• They retain their original properties for as long as possible.
• Their basic characteristics do not change with the presence of limited quantities of water.
• They are transported under pressure over long distances without changing their original properties (central lubrication system).
• They keep their consistency almost unchanged at low temperatures.
• Greasing systems and devices are much simpler and cheaper.
• They provide very good protection for mechanisms working in humidity and dust conditions (excavators and earthmovers).
• They are used at very high operating temperatures, systems that run for a long time without maintenance and in cases of low speed combined with very high load.
