About Grease

About Grease Gun Components

About Lubricants

Use this general purpose grease to lubricate most machinery.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease. Grease with aluminum thickener has good moisture resistance and excellent oxidation resistance. Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity. Grease that cannot be sold to the listed areas is restricted by product labeling requirements or local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperate is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

High-Pressure Grease

This grease remains stable and in place under high pressure, heavy loads, and shock loads. It's often used for demanding mining, construction, and automotive applications.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 0 is about the consistency of brown mustard. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Weld load measures a grease's ability to withstand pressure in kilograms of force (kgf). The higher the rating, the more pressure the grease can withstand.

Grease with moly (molybdenum disulfide) and grease with graphite have excellent resistance to wear and can withstand high-load and high-pressure applications.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.
