Lithium Greases
A Lubricant Grease is a solid or semisolid lubricant formed as a dispersion of thickening agents in a liquid lubricant. Grease generally consists of a soap emulsified with mineral or vegetable oil. What Is Grease? A common feature of Lubricant greases is that they possess a high initial viscosity, which upon the application of shear, drops to give the effect of an oil-lubricated bearing of approximately the same viscosity as the base oil used in the grease. What Are the Uses of Lubricant Grease? Lubricant Grease is sometimes used to describe lubricating materials that are simply soft solids or high-viscosity liquids, but these materials do not exhibit the shear-thinning properties characteristic of classical grease. "Greases are applied to mechanisms or Machines that can be lubricated only infrequently and where a lubricating oil would not stay in position. They also act as sealants to prevent the ingress of water and incompressible materials. Grease bearings have greater fri
