Greases

Unlike popular belief, greases and oils cannot (and shouldn't) be used interchangeably. A solid to semifluid product of dispersion of a thickening agent in liquid lubricant, the use of grease is typically in applications and areas where the continuous flow of oil is difficult to retain (gears or bearings, for instance). Greases usually have higher initial thickness as compared to oils, and primarily lubricate moving surfaces without:

• aren't easily accessible for lubrication purposes
• operate under extreme environments
• have worn out components
• run sporadically

They're essentially made up of three major components:

• Oil
• Thickener
• Additives

Thickeners help convert the oil into grease and play a major role in controlling & maintaining the key properties of the grease. The main type of thickener is metallic soap. These soaps are made up of lithium, clay, sodium, calcium, polyuria and aluminum. Complex thickener greases are being embraced these days thanks to their exceptional load-carrying capabilities and relatively higher dropping points. Nonsoap thickeners, equally popular today, are best for high-temperature environments (Bentonite and silica, for instance). These greases contain additives that prevent corrosion, are anti-wear and extreme-pressure. Some other key benefits of grease that make it so viable for industry-wide usage are:

• They are best suited for extreme shock loads, temperatures, speeds and pressures
• They can keep components well-lubricated for extended time periods
• They are perfect for sealed applications (gearboxes, for instance)
• They help extend the lifespan of worn out components

Greases are a well-known lubricant used in mechanisms where lubrication is done irregularly and lubricating oil cannot be retained. E.g. gears or bearings of automobiles. Thickeners like metallic soaps are added to a liquid lubricant to produce the semisolid or solid lubricant of grease. Grease is made out of oil, thickeners and additives. Soaps like calcium stearate, sodium stearate, lithium stearate, as well as mixtures of these metallic soaps are added to oil (typically mineral oil) to produce grease. Organic clay like bentonite or silica, which is a group of minerals, are also popular thickeners among grease dealers. These are best suited in applications under high-temperature conditions. Solid additives like copper or ceramic powder are added to grease to make it more resistant to temperature, pressure & corrosion. Greases containing additives have tight tolerance. So they are unsuitable to be used as lubricants for certain moving parts, e.g. bearings. The viscosity of grease drops to that of the base oil after sufficient force to shear it has been applied. That’s why it is considered to be shear-thinning or pseudo-plastic fluid. This fall in shear makes grease exhibit thixotropy. There are rheotropic greases, that’s, they become more viscous when worked. Greases have a high initial thickness and are used to primarily lubricate moving surfaces that are not easily accessible for frequent lubrication, which run seldomly, which use worn-out components and are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Grease can thus be used as a lubricant in moving parts of machinery where oil cannot be held into position. It helps in increasing the endurance of new as well as old components. It is suitable for extreme temperature, load & pressure conditions. Seltec FZC is an expert grease supplier in the UAE for more than 40 years. We are here to help you in choosing the best grease for the type of machinery you run or work with, in your industry.
