olivite

Where it comes from

From olive + -ite.

noun

  1. uncountable olivin
  2. uncountable A tough rubber compound that becomes very slippery when wet. The "olivite rubber" is claimed to show a lower coefficient of friction on its wetted surface than on any oiled babbitted surface . Therefore an "olivite" rubber bearing lubricated by water offers less frictional resistance than the metal bearing lubricated by grease and oil.
