Global Slideway Oil Market - Share, Growth, Analysis,
Forecast to 2025: Global Market Insights Inc.
According to new Global Market Insights, Inc, chemical research report According to
new Global Market Insights, Inc, chemical research report Slideway Oil Market size is
rapidly growing during the forecast period due to rising demand from industrial,
automotive and construction industry owing to its lubrication, corrosion and anti-wear
properties. Slideway oil offers low friction, no stick-slip at low feed speed and high
pressure with good damping properties. Industrial machinery maintenance reduces
operational cost compelling manufacturers to undertake preventive maintenance as
compared to breakdown repairs. Growing industrial activity in emerging countries is
proliferating the market growth. Slideway oil is specially formulated to allow machine
tool carriage chatter and ensures a smooth finish on the machined part.
The product exhibit extreme pressure handling and anti-slip properties. It shows
resistance to rusting, oxidation and foaming and is usually preferred for cold heading
applications. They boost machinery shelf life and its efficiency, thus reducing time.
The increasing demand from machine, automobile, hydraulic systems will further boost
the slideway oil market demand. They are used as lubrication for machine tool
slideways. Slideway oil or lubricant forms an effective lubricating film instantaneously.
Growing shelf life of machinery and efficiency along with reduction in down time are
significant benefits of using the slideway oils. Slideway oils should display dynamic
friction coefficient for hydrodynamic slideways and linear guides, for better
compatibility with neat cutting oils while simultaneously achieving optimum accuracy.
The most significant characteristic of slideway oils are low friction, no stick-slip at low
feed speeds and high pressures, improved damping properties, low wear along with
good protection against seizures and scuffing.
Technological advancement has further led to development of grades such as ISOVG
68, ISOVG 100, ISOVG 32 and ISO VG 220. Various product grades have different
viscosities which makes them suitable in different applications. Growing use of
horizontal slideway, has led ISO VG 68 to be adopted globally. Moreover, heavy
machines predominately utilize slideway oils for circulating applications. Owing to its
high lubrication properties, this product is extensively used for medium duty hydraulic
fluid and for manufacturing gear oil.
Growing government regulation along with fluctuating raw material prices is
anticipated to become a hurdle for the slideway oil market over the next few years.
Moreover, dealing with contamination from metalworking fluids and water-based
coolants is a major challenge for manufacturers to tackle. But, with improving
technology and regulation compliant products the market for slideway oil will have
strong growth in the future.
