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. TYPICAL
