Everyone knows that reliable and durable service life of industrial equipment depends in many aspects on the service materials used for its maintenance.
Properly selected lubricants and oils, thread and assembly pastes, anti-friction coatings, sealing, bonding and other materials are able to reduce maintenance labor costs dramatically, sometimes by several times, and to extend the maintenance intervals.
However, the right choice of the suitable product for a certain unit is not enough. A sound approach to surface preparation before the product is applied is also necessary. In many cases it is enough just for clean the surface from contaminations and degrease it. Sometimes sandblasting, phosphate treatment, etc. are recommended. Some substrates, on the contrary, require no pretreatment at all.
As for greases, sealants, anti-friction coatings, adhesives, pastes, they have their own special features, moods and methods to control the process of applying.
Some materials should be applied by a thick steady layer, some others should be rubbed into the surface, the third ones should be applied by a layer of certain thickness by dipping or spraying. More than that, the layer thickness and the amount of applied materials should be thoroughly controlled. Any deviation from these features leads to the situation when service materials are wasted, friction unit efficiency and its tightness are reduced or adhesive joint strength is affected, what can cause premature failure of the unit.
