DISCRIPTION

Product Data

          Bentonite greases are non-soap, inorganic clay thickened greases. These are non-melt greases and are therefore typically used in harsh industrial applications requiring lubrication under very high temperatures. These greases are typically used in plain & roller bearings operating at temperatures at which conventional soap thickened greases cannot work.These greases have a durable film & good pumpability.These greases are suitable for applications with an operating temperature range of -10 to +200 0C under routine service.

Applications

  • Bearings in Sugar Mills operating at very high temperatures
  • Plastic injection moulding

Main Benefits

  • Excellent in very high temperature applications where conventional soap greases cannot be used
  • Non-melt
  • Superior boundary film strength leading to reduction in maintenance costs and downtime
  • Good resistance to water washout
  • Superior Roll & Shear stability
  • Good EP properties especially when combined with MOLY
  • Superior protection against rust and corrosion
