It is economical to use and effective to clean grease stains and tar. It is available as a spray lubricant or squeeze bottle. Multi purpose synthetic lubricant with polytetrafluoroethylene is considered as heavy duty lubricant which helps to reduce friction by preventing corrosion and rust. 

COVID-19 Impact

Many industries across the globe have faced several challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The industries such as automotive and transportation, construction, electrical and electronics, sport and leisure, and food and beverages including many others have experienced pitfalls. Many projects in such industries have been halted due to an interrupted supply chain and employee shortages due to quarantines. Also, the production and demand in automotive industry has declined due to an interrupted supply chain and cessation in transportation of raw materials. According to International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2020, global auto production has dropped by 16%. To less than 78 million vehicles. Moreover, there was a sharp decrease in the electrical and electrical production due to unavailability of labor. Thus, the global pause in industrial production and distribution, the demand and consumption of multi purpose lubricants has hampered to an extent in several industries.
