Conventional lubricants are typically derived from crude oil and are used to reduce friction between moving parts in machinery. They help to minimize wear and tear, enhance efficiency, and prevent overheating. These lubricants come in various forms, including oils and greases, and are commonly used in vehicles, industrial equipment, and household appliances. The effectiveness of conventional lubricants can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the type of materials involved. While they are widely used, there is a growing interest in alternatives like synthetic lubricants that may offer improved performance and environmental benefits.
