| Lubricant |
A substance which when interposed between parts or particles tends to make surfaces slippery, reduce friction, and prevent sticking between the lubricated surfaces. Lubricants are added to plastics to assist flow in extrusion, assist in knitting and wetting of the resin in mixing and milling operations, and impart lubricity to finished products. |
