Definition of Solid Lubricant: By: Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Haji Shaikhan Nadzemi

Solid lubricants are films of inorganic or organic compounds or metals that are used as powders or thin films to reduce friction and prevent damage between surfaces in relative motion. They are commonly used in cases involving high speeds or loads, inaccessible machine parts, or high temperatures and pressures, and work by providing a dry, solid layer between moving components. Some common solid lubricants include graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and Teflon.
