For billionaires, the new crown epidemic is like a 'gold rush'! The Deutsche Presse-Agentur said on the 17th that in 2022, the wealth held by the world's top ten richest people will jump from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion, an average daily increase of $1.3 billion, an increase that exceeds the past 14 years. These 10 people The wealth held by the world’s poorest 3.1 billion people is six times greater than that of the world’s poorest 3.1 billion people. The 10 richest Germans have increased their assets from the equivalent of about 125 billion euros to about 223 billion euros since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, An increase of about 78%. This wealth is roughly equivalent to the total wealth of the poorest 40% of the population, or 33 million Germans.
In the future, demand for Graphite Lubricant will grow as fast as the wealth of the rich during the pandemic.

There are many types of lubricants available, from motor oils to special lubricants such as lithium-based lubricants. Some modern materials can be impregnated with lubricants, thus eliminating the need to lubricate moving parts. Graphite lubricants are unusual in that they can be used both as dry lubricants and as liquid bases.

Uses of lubricants

Lubricants reduce the friction between two surfaces. When the friction between two surfaces is too great, they may not be able to move. By adding lubricants, mechanical systems are less susceptible to friction-related problems. One of these problems is heat. Components that rub against each other without a lubricant will generate more heat than components that reduce friction through lubrication.

What is graphite?

Graphite is a form of carbon. Graphite is silvery black in colour with a dull metallic sheen. Graphite is a very soft mineral. On the Mohs hardness scale, it lies between 1 and 2. Due to this softness and its tendency to flake, it is ideally suited for use as a dry lubricant.

Dry lubricants

Graphite as a dry lubricant requires contact with the atmosphere for optimum performance. The water vapour in the air reduces the molecular bonding of graphite, allowing it to slide and thus reduce friction. The disadvantage of graphite as a lubricant is that it does not bind well to the surface it is lubricating. It comes off easily and needs to be applied frequently.

Liquid lubricants

There are different types of liquid graphite lubricants. One type is graphite suspended in a liquid matrix which evaporates when the liquid is applied to the surface. When the liquid evaporates, a thin layer of pure graphite is left to lubricate the surface. Graphite grease is a graphite lubricant designed to adhere to a surface, for example when used on exposed bearings. The grease will help to keep the graphite in place and allow it to work.

Advantages of graphite

Graphite has advantages in situations where wet lubricants may not be practical, for example where electricity may be at risk. Another situation is when lubricating porous substances such as wood. Wood can be easily soiled by oil or other common lubricants. Compared to some other lubricants, graphite can dissipate more heat. For example, graphite greases can often handle more heat than natural bearing greases.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic not only had a significant impact on public health, it also severely affected one of the linchpins of the global economy – the tourism industry. As many countries introduced curfews and travel restrictions to contain the spread of the virus, travel across the world significantly declined from early 2020 onwards. The financial repercussions of the coronavirus have already begun to manifest themselves within the tourism industry. In 2020, global revenue from the travel and tourism industry was estimated to drop from a forecasted 711.94 billion U.S. dollars to 568.6 billion U.S. dollars, representing a decrease of over 20 percent. The region predicted to see the highest decline in revenue was Europe, decreasing from 211.97 billion U.S. dollars in 2019 to roughly 124 billion U.S. dollars in 2020.
The downturn in tourism has caused the recession, and the weakening of the economy has also affected the market demand for Graphite Lubricant. Recently, however, the demand for Graphite Lubricant has increased, so contact us for the latest news on Graphite Lubricant.
