Solid lubricants of different compositions have been developed by the Institute of Solid State Chemistry, which are intended for abrasive treatment (dry grinding and polishing)of steels, ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys, ornamental stones, as well as for mechanical treatment of metals (cutting, threading, and drilling). The use of these lubricants in various operations of materials treatment leads to the following effects: the surface roughness (Ra) is reduced by a factor of 2 to 3; burns are eliminated; durability of tools increases; the surface finish is improved by 1 or 2 grades; the temperature is decreased in the treated area; and the time for surface treatment is reduced.

• The developed solid lubricants have been tested at industrial enterprises of the Russian Federation; the test results were confirmed by relevant documents. The solid lubricant compositions are covered by patents of the Russian Federation.

• The solid lubricants are environmentally safe products.
