Graphene is a new type of lubricant that is emerging in the Thailand market. Many institutes and companies have been conducting R&D on Graphene lubricants for a number of years.
Unique physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of Graphene make it an attractive product for applications where control of friction and wear is of vital importance at different length scales. Conventional lubricants often have chemical limitations when it comes to reducing friction in machinery. Graphene has properties of a newer, exceptionally wear-resistant lubricant that works in a broader range of environments. For instance, a single layer of conventional lubricant in between a steel ball and a steel disk would last only 1 wear cycle. On the other hand, the single layers of Graphene can last for more than 6,500 wear cycles.
