High-temperature multipurpose grease consists of a lithium complex soap in a mineral oil raffinate in combination with select additive combinations. The soap is contained in the oil with a very fine distribution and virtually serves as a structure.

This lubricating grease has the following quality features:

  • Thermal stability:
    • At operating temperatures of minus 30Β° C to plus 150Β° C in continuous operation as well as high load, the structure and consistency must be maintained over a long service life.
  • Oxidation resistance:
    • To prevent oxidation at high operating temperature, lubricating grease contains effective inhibitors (inhibitors that limit or prevent chemical processes).
  • Water resistance and corrosion prevention:
    • The high-temperature multipurpose greases are resistant against water. At the same time, the greased components are optimally protected by corrosion inhibitors against corrosive effects.
RENDER: 1.0x
