👉 An integral fluid, often referred to as a base fluid or carrier, is a substance that forms the foundation of many fluid systems, providing the medium in which other fluids or components can flow and interact. It is typically a liquid or gas that has minimal chemical reactivity with the substances it carries, ensuring stability and compatibility. This fluid serves as a transport medium for various additives, such as lubricants, coolants, or solvents, and plays a crucial role in maintaining the performance and longevity of mechanical and industrial systems by facilitating heat transfer, reducing friction, and enabling chemical reactions when necessary.
