2. Oil drying agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drying_agent

   Oil drying agent. An oil drying agent, also known as siccative, is a coordination compound that accelerates ( catalyzes) the hardening of drying oils, often as they are used in oil-based paints. This so-called "drying" (actually a chemical reaction that produces an organic plastic) occurs through free-radical chemical crosslinking of the oils.

3. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

   Dry lubricant. Dry lubricants or solid lubricants are materials that, despite being in the solid phase, are able to reduce friction between two surfaces sliding against each other without the need for a liquid oil medium. [1] The two main dry lubricants are graphite and molybdenum disulfide. They offer lubrication at temperatures higher than ...

4. Drying oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

   A drying oil is an oil that hardens to a tough, solid film after a period of exposure to air, at room temperature. The oil hardens through a chemical reaction in which the components crosslink (and hence, polymerize) by the action of oxygen (not through the evaporation of water or other solvents ). Drying oils are a key component of oil paint ...

5. Grease (lubricant) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_(lubricant)

   Grease (lubricant) Grease is a solid or semisolid lubricant formed as a dispersion of thickening agents in a liquid lubricant. Grease generally consists of a soap emulsified with mineral or vegetable oil . A common feature of greases is that they possess high initial viscosities, which upon the application of shear, drop to give the effect of ...

6. Olympic-class ocean liner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-class_ocean_liner

   The Olympic-class ocean liners were a trio of British ocean liners built by the Harland & Wolff shipyard for the White Star Line during the early 20th century. They were Olympic (1911), Titanic (1912) and Britannic (1914). All three were designed to be the largest and most luxurious passenger ships at that time, designed to give White Star an ...

7. Semi-drying oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-drying_oil

   A semi-drying oil is an oil which partially hardens when it is exposed to air. This is as opposed to a drying oil, which hardens completely, or a non-drying oil, which does not harden at all. Oils with an iodine number of 115–130 are considered semi-drying. Examples of semi-drying oils. Corn oil; Cottonseed oil; Sesame oil; Grape seed oil ...
