Understanding Viscosity Index and Its Role in Lubricant Performance When choosing the right lubricant, one of the most critical — yet often misunderstood — properties is viscosity index (VI). While viscosity tells us how thick or thin a lubricant is at a given temperature, the viscosity index reveals how that thickness changes with temperature. In […]

Ester vs Mineral Lubricants: Which Is Right for High-Temperature Chains? When it comes to lubricating high-temperature chain systems — like those found in automotive paint shops, textile stenters, and packaging ovens — the choice of lubricant isn’t just about cost. It’s about performance, reliability, and long-term protection. Two primary contenders in this space are mineral […]
