Reduced Friction with Lohtragon®

The understanding of interactions between surfaces in relative motion helps to minimize friction, wear, and corrosion.

Pyrophosphates – An Interesting Case Study

The primary function of pyrophosphate in tribology is to reduce friction and wear between moving parts. It performs this role by forming a thin layer on the surface of metals, effectively serving as a boundary lubricant. This layer not only reduces friction but also provides a level of protection against corrosion, thus extending the lifetime of machinery and reducing maintenance costs.
