No, pure silicates are not good lubricants. They can be abrasive and could cause more damage to the surfaces they are supposed to protect. However, silicate derivatives, specifically silica nanoparticles, are sometimes used as an additive to enhance the performance of certain lubricants.
They help in reducing friction, wear and tear between surfaces. But in their pure form, silicates are not suitable for lubrication.
