Clean Lubricants 101

The Impact of Wear Over Time & Why Cleanliness Matters

The lubricants in your systems are presented with many opportunities to pick up contaminants before and after they reach your equipment. Over time, contaminants in equipment cause wear on the system, resulting in decreased performance that can ultimately cause catastrophic downtime. It is important to keep the lubricants in your equipment clean from the beginning to prevent failures and maintain efficient performance.
