PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are qualified
against the highest grease standards and are designed for multiple use applications.
Composed of premium quality synthetic base oils and lithium complex thickeners,
Multi-Purpose Greases provide superior film strength, shear resistance, adhesion
properties and mechanical stability, and they excel in temperature extremes
by providing excellent oxidation stability, high temperature dropping points
and low temperature torque values and pumping capabilities. AMSOIL Synthetic
Multi-Purpose Greases are formulated with oil soluble extreme-pressure additives
for heavy loads, as well as oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that impart
good oxidation stability and rust protection.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- High dropping point of 500°F+
- Resists thermal and oxidation degradation
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Good low temperature pumpability and torque values
- Adhesive and shear stable to prevent squeeze out
Applications or Requirements
- GLB (#1) ASTM D-4950 (NLGI) Service GC/LB
- GLB (#1) Cincinnati Milicron P-72 Spec
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease grade #1
is recommended in manual or automatic lubricating systems. NLGI #1 (GLB) has
better mobility and is the preferred choice for colder applications, automatic
lubrication systems with long pumping runs and gear box applications (where
recommended by manufacturer).The correct consistency grade of AMSOIL
Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is recommended in heavy and light duty applications
found in manufacturing plants, automobiles, agricultural and construction
equipment.These include, but are not limited to, roller bearings, plain bearings,
thrust bearings, gears, electric motors, presses, winches, bushings, wheel
bearings, chassis lubrication, universal joints, ball joints, tie-rod ends,
and steering knuckles. AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are suitable
for use up to 350 degrees F. When operating at elevated temperatures, frequent
regreasing may be required.AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are compatible
with many other types of greases. However, it is recommended that when changing
greases, the equipment be cleaned of the old grease when possible or flushed
with a liberal amount of Multi-Purpose Grease while the mechanism is in operation.
Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Grease compatibility
questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Inc.
APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work environment is important
when equipment greasing is performed. Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting
grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third
to one-half full of grease. Do not over-grease, as excessive heat buildup can
result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning and
packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance schedule.
