EPILAME
Definition
Epilame is a product that prevents oils from spreading on watchmaking components.
Operation
A drop of lubricant spreads quickly on a clean part. Epilame forms an invisible, hydrophobic and oleophobic molecular layer, which keeps the lubricant within its working area.
Importance
The durability of a lubricant depends on it staying in place. Epilame thus determines the longevity of the lubrication and the proper functioning of the movement.
