👉 The closing fluid, also known as the final lubricant or sealant, is a crucial component in mechanical systems, particularly in seals and gaskets. Its primary role is to provide a thin, continuous layer of fluid that completely fills any gaps or imperfections between the sealing surfaces. This ensures a tight seal, preventing the leakage of fluids, gases, or other substances from one part of a machine to another. The fluid is typically designed to be highly viscous and resistant to wear, heat, and chemicals, enhancing the durability and reliability of the seal. By maintaining this barrier, the closing fluid significantly reduces friction and wear, extending the lifespan of the mechanical components and improving overall system efficiency.
