Advantages:
- Durable lubrication film, reducing maintenance and downtime costs.
- Excellent mechanical and thermal stability.
- Strong adhesion to metal surfaces.
- Effective rust protection.
- Compatible with most conventional soap greases.
Suitable for industrial applications, including heavy-duty applications with high unit pressures or shock loads. NLGI 0 and 1 are suitable for centralized lubrication systems and low-temperature applications. NLGI 2 is for multipurpose applications, while NLGI 3 is recommended for protection against water or solid contaminants.
