Quantification of Tackiness of a Grease: The Road to a Method

In this work, we report on the most recent progress in studying temperature influence tackiness of greases, as well reproducibility method. Tackiness and adhesion greases have been identified key intrinsic properties that can their functionality performance. During last eight years, a reliable method to quantify has evolved from an experimental lab-scale set-up towards standardised approach, including ASTM dedicated test tool. The performance lubricating greases—extensively used diverse industrial applications—is strongly dependent adherence substrate, cohesion thread formation or greases. This issue attracts more interest complexity grease formulation evolves it is harder differentiate between available With method, formulators will efficient measurement tool support work.
