Selecting the right grease can solve wear and corrosion problems sustainably
As long as there is friction, wear and corrosion in a mechanical system, it can hinder the production process and damage the machine. You can solve this problem with high-quality grease, because the right grease can help you ensure the normal operation of production and the good condition of the machine.

What is industrial grease?
With careful selection, grease can effectively reduce mechanical friction and wear in industrial applications. From a pure chemical perspective, the ingredients of grease are:
- About 75% base oil
- About 15% thickener
- 10% additive
Greases are ideal for providing long-term protection at friction points. In addition to their excellent lubricating properties, they also effectively protect against external factors such as water sprays, moisture, and contaminants, depending on operating conditions.
Conclusion: Protect your machine from wear and corrosion. Guarantee your safety, both mechanically and economically.
Grease has strong adhesion
Whether grease or lubricating oil is a better choice for the application depends on the specific requirements. Choosing the right lubricant helps to meet existing challenges. In all cases, regardless of the design and mode of operation of the machine.
The advantage of grease over lubricating oil is its durability and its ability to stay at the friction point for longer. This is especially true for
- Non-sealed lubrication points and the fact that the base oil adheres to the friction point through the consistency of the grease can optimize the supply of base oil at the friction point
- If it cannot be re-lubricated, it means that a single lubrication must provide lubrication for the entire life cycle of the parts
In general, if lubricating oil is excluded from industrial applications, then grease is the first choice. An example of an application for grease is the spindle bearing of a machine tool, which rotates very rapidly and has very low surface pressure. Conversely, if it is a large drive unit with high surface pressure and low speed, lubricating oil or lubricating fluid may be more suitable.
Advantages of grease:
- Simplified seal design
- Long service life and reduced maintenance work
- Usually lifetime lubrication
- lower consumption
- Strengthen the seal
