Synthetic Water Resistant Grease, NLGI #2, GC/LB
Resists water washout and degradation.
Unparalleled protection for boat trailer wheel bearings
and other components frequently exposed to water. Stays
in place, lubricates and prevents rust. Lithium Complex.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease is an extreme-pressure multi-purpose grease
formulated specially for wet-duty performance. Its water
washout and sprayoff resistance ideally suit it for use
in the wheel bearings of vehicles and trailers frequently
exposed to water, mud, snow or ice.
The grease is also excellent for use in
plants, such as paper mills, in which machinery undergoes
frequent or prolonged exposure to water.
Water Washout and Sprayoff Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease derives its superior wet-duty performance
from its peerless cohesiveness and adhesiveness. Because
the grease holds together when exposed to water and clings
tenaciously to metal surfaces even when wet, AMSOIL Synthetic
Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease provides tough protection
against water. Components remain protected during prolonged
exposure to standing water or exposure to pressurized water.
Rust and Corrosion Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease protects metal surfaces from rust and corrosion,
both of which may be hastened or worsened by frequent or
prolonged water contact. It seals metal surfaces against
rust and chemically fights corrosion.
High and Low Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease reduces friction effective, helping high-speed
components run cooler than they can with other greases.
It resists the damaging effects of high temperatures and
oxidation so components stay deposit-free for optimal performance
and long life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease pumps easily at low temperatures for dependable
cold temperature protection. Its low temperature pumpability
makes the grease an excellent choice for use in automatic
greasing systems.
In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease performs over such a broad temperature
range, it may be used in place of separate high-temperature
and low-temperature greases.
Load Carrying and Extreme Pressure Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease protects components from metal-to-metal contact
even under heavy loads. Its extreme pressure additives form
a shield against sustained or sudden extreme loads for dependable
protection against wear.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease is compatible with most seal materials and
most other greases.
Service and Shelf Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease resists oxidation, high temperature degradation
and additive depletion so effective, the grease may be used
for longer service intervals than conventional greases may
be used. AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease also resist oil separation and offers a long shelf
life.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease meets the highest performance standards set
by the National Lubrication Grease Institute (NLGI), GC
for wheel bearing applications, and LB for chassis applications.
It may be used in automotive wheel bearings, chassis or
other applications for which an NLGI No. 1-1/2 GC or LB
grease is recommended.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease's unique water resistant formulation makes
it ideal for use in components or equipment with frequent
or prolonged water exposure.
