      Hello !

      A lubricant is used to decrease the friction between two parts in a movement mechanism. The role of lubricant can be carried by a liquid, semi-liquid or solid substance.

      For example, the oil that we pour into our cars reduces the friction between engine parts.

      Don't hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions!
