The same great AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease in a convenient spray formulation. Ideal for greasing hard-to-reach equipment such as hinges, springs and other common applications.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GLC multi-purpose, EP grease is qualified against
the highest grease standards, NLGI GC (wheel bearing) and LB (chassis), and
is designed for multiple use applications. This grease is composed of synthetic
base oils and lithium complex thickeners that provide the film strength,
shear resistance and mechanical stability required for good grease lubrication.
This combination excels in high and low operating temperature ranges by providing
excellent oxidation stability, high temperature dropping points, good low
temperature torque values and good low temperature pumping capabilities. GLC
Grease is compounded with an effective oil soluble extreme-pressure additive
for heavy loads, plus oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that impart good oxidation
stability and rust protection.AMSOIL’s top performing lithium complex
thickener system provides excellent adhesion properties and water resistance
as identified by ASTM D-1264 water washout test. This resistance to water means
a protective film of lubricant remains present to protect equipment against
wear while the corrosion inhibitors prevent rust. AMSOIL GLC Grease adheres
to metal in all types of environments and resists squeeze out during operation.
These qualities ensure maximum lubricant protection during harsh operations.AMSOIL
GLC multi-purpose greases is recommended for many different applications. Its
diversity simplifies lubricant inventories and prevents greasing errors while
providing problem-free operation. AMSOIL GLC Grease reduces repair and maintenance
costs.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- High dropping point of 550°F
- Resists thermal and oxidation degradation (lasts longer
than conventional grease)
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Good low temperature pumpability and torque values
- Adhesive and shear stable to prevent squeeze out
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
NLGI #2 (GLC) is the preferred choice for medium
to high ambient temperatures, sleeve type bushings, high shock loading environments,
wet environments. and is the primary choice for wheel bearings.The correct
consistency grade of AMSOIL GL multi-purpose greases are recommended for use
in heavy and light duty applications found in manufacturing plants, automotive
applications, agricultural equipment 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
GL greases are suitable for use up to 350° F. When operating at elevated
temperatures, frequent regreasing may be required.AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex
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 the GL 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 fitting 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.
