# Contamination and Corrosion of Bearings from Water, Dirt, Dust, Road Deicers, and Debris

## Contamination and Corrosion

Automotive bearings are exposed to water, dirt, dust, road deicers, and debris. This leads to corrosion and accelerated wear.

## Sources of Contamination

- Water and slush
- Road dust and sand
- Road treatment deicers
- Dirt and debris

## Consequences

- Corrosion of raceways
- Abrasive wear
- Lubricant loss
- Premature failure

## MS Bearing Solutions

We offer bearings with enhanced seals, anti-corrosion coatings, and preservative lubrication to protect against external factors.
