2.3 Lubrication

Lithium Grease with Molybdenum Disulphide

Description

Moly Grease is multipurpose lithium based grease-containing friction reducing

molybdenum disulphide.

Application

It is excellent for tractor gearbox lubrication. It also shows excellent performance in the
lubrication of heavily loaded slow/medium speed bearings of all types and is particularly
useful in preventing bearing damage caused by excessive vibration or shock loading.
When exposed to extreme operating conditions, Moly Grease helps prevent the
depletion of normal grease lubrication by a residual coating of the metal surface with
molybdenum disulphide to give 'dry' or 'solid' lubrication. Moly Grease also has an
application in sliding motions where the prevention of scuffing is desirable and may be
used in dry or moist conditions. It is not recommended for use in small, high-speed ball
and roller bearings.

Features and benefits

1. Good high load carrying capacity

2. Reduced wear in heavily and shock loaded conditions

3. Reduced downtime for repair and maintenance

4. Prevention of scuffing

5. High resistance to water and rust

Lithium Based Grease

Description
LM is smooth lithium based grease. It contains hydroxystearate soaps, which combine
properties of good low temperature pumpability, good resistance to mechanical shear,
ability to operate at moderately high temperatures and excellent water and corrosion
resistance.

Application
LM is well proven as a chassis grease. It is also a good wheel bearing grease for use
over a wide range of temperatures. It is suitable for most other automotive grease
applications within its specified operating temperature range.

Features
1. Lubricates over a wide temperature range

2. Good resistance to mechanical shear

3. Excellent water resistance

4. Excellent protection against corrosion

5. Good low temperature pumpability
