Formulation of grease from industrial waste

Grease is a semisolid lubricant which helps in reducing the friction between two surfaces. Lubricating grease can be applied to mechanical parts which runs intermittently or being stored for a long period or in contact with the moisture that will cause corrosion to happen. The growing demand on lubr...
