PRODUCT DATA SHEET
Long Life Grease is a lithium soap based premium quality multipurpose greases of NLGI 3 consistency. It is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions using high viscosity base oils fortified with anti-wear additives, tackifiers, friction modifiers, rust & oxidation inhibitors. This grease has superior shear stability, surface adhesion and thus resistance to wear, corrosion, heavy loading and oxidation. It is suitable for applications wherein operating temperatures rise to 120 0C under continuous service.
Applications
· Automotive wheel bearings, chassis, steering components etc.
· Earthmoving, mining and quarrying equipment under moderate to heavy loads
· Farm equipment like tractors, harvesters, implements etc
· Water pumps, generators, universal joints bearings, journal bearings etc
· Industrial machinery used in steel, textile, sugar, paper industries
Primary Benefits :
On account of the robust soap chemistry and much higher base oil blend viscosities, this product can be recommended for a service life of 40,000 km.
Higher blend viscosities further increase the anti-wear capabilities of the product and also enhance its load carrying capacity.
Other Benefits
· Reduces maintenance costs and downtime
· Clean bearings
· Superior water washout characteristics
· Good retention of structure under extreme operating conditions and under storage
· Superior protection against rust, corrosion
· Superior protection against wear and water washout.
Performance standards
Exceeds the performance requirements of
· IS 7623
· IS 12203
