A showcase of lubricants in the health care industry

摘要

Iubrication might not be the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of the medical and health care worlds, but make no mistake — these industries are inextricably linked. Like many other industries, of course, lubricants are an essential part of the manufacturing processes that keep medical machinery functioning, but their role goes beyond manufacturing. From manufacturing to the polymers that make up surgical gowns and face masks, lubricants are essential for hospitals, research facilities, doctors' offices and laboratories the world over. The connection goes beyond materials production, too: new advancements and achievements in the world of health care are being made possible as lubricant technologies continue to progress.
