Greases

Greases: Reliable Lubricant for Industrial and Automotive Machinery

Greases are vital for the smooth operation of industrial equipment, vehicles, and household machinery. They protect metal components, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of machines. In this guide, we cover all key aspects of the greases category: applications, types, benefits, selection criteria, and frequently asked questions (FAQ). Whether you are a professional or an everyday user, you will find valuable insights here.

What Are Greases and Why Are They Important?

Greases are solid lubricants composed of oil and thickening agents. They are widely used in industrial machinery, automotive parts, and household equipment.

Key functions:

Reduce friction and protect components
Delay metal wear
Resist water and dust
Maintain stability under temperature changes
Improve machine energy efficiency

Greases are produced in various types according to lubrication requirements, making them suitable for applications ranging from car engines to industrial presses.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Greases

1. Operating Temperature

Each grease has a specific temperature range
Synthetic greases are more resistant to high and low temperatures

2. Load Carrying Capacity

Choose grease according to the equipment’s pressure and load requirements

3. Water and Moisture Resistance

Water-resistant greases protect against corrosion
Calcium and lithium-based greases are ideal for humid conditions

4. Compatibility and Standards

Choosing greases that meet ISO, DIN, or OEM standards prolongs equipment life

5. Environmental and Safety Requirements

Biodegradable and low-toxicity greases are safer and eco-friendly

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between grease and oil?
Grease is a solid lubricant made with a thickening agent, providing longer-lasting protection and friction reduction for metal parts.

2. Is every grease suitable for all equipment?
No, grease selection should be based on operating temperature, load, and water resistance requirements.

3. What applications are Aminol™ Litol 24 suitable for?
Ideal for car engines, bearings, and industrial gears.

4. What benefits does Solidol provide?
Long-lasting protection under heavy-duty industrial conditions, resistant to water and corrosion.

5. How long can grease be used?
Depending on usage, it can remain effective for 6–12 months; some industrial types last up to 24 months.

Greases are indispensable for the long-lasting operation of machinery and equipment. Proper grease selection reduces friction, protects components, and increases energy efficiency.
