GREASE KNOWLEDGE

Grease: A Small Detail That Keeps Your Business Running.

Grease may account for only a modest share of your maintenance budget, yet it has an outsized effect on keeping equipment operational. Choosing the right grease helps improve productivity, reduce maintenance costs and minimise unplanned downtime.

HOW GREASE WORKS

What Is Grease and How Does It Work?

A grease is a lubricating base oil, enhanced with performance additives, held in place by a thickening fibre matrix.

Under pressure or load, the thickener releases oil to form a protective lubricating film between moving surfaces. When the pressure eases, the oil is reabsorbed into the thickener matrix.

LUBRICATION PRINCIPLE

Lubrication Under Load

The thickener retains the oil and releases it under pressure or load to form a protective lubricating film, keeping moving metal surfaces apart.

THICKENER BEHAVIOUR

Release & Reabsorption

Much like a sponge, the thickener releases oil when pressure is applied and draws it back into the fibre matrix when the pressure eases.
