Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environmentsAlways specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving chlorides or aggressive chemicals to prevent premature corrosion and system failure.
Improper cleaning before installation, leading to contaminationThoroughly clean all surfaces with a non-abrasive solvent to remove any oils, greases, or particulate matter that could compromise lubricating performance or lead to galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and Bushings in Corrosive Environments
  • Lubricating System Components in Marine Applications
  • Seals and Gaskets in Chemical Processing Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or damage that could compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper grounding if used in electrically conductive lubricating systems.
