Lithium Grease

Whatsapp Order

Lithium Grease is a multi-purpose, high-performance lubricant made by thickening mineral or synthetic oils with lithium soap as the thickening agent. It exhibits excellent mechanical stability, water resistance, and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and household lubrication applications. Lithium Grease is valued for its high dropping point, good adhesion, and ability to perform under varying temperature and load conditions.

Lithium Grease

Primary Uses

Automotive Industry

Lubrication of wheel bearings, chassis, universal joints, and other automotive components to reduce friction and wear.
Used in lubricating door hinges, seat tracks, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

Industrial Machinery

Applied in the lubrication of bearings, gears, couplings, and sliding surfaces in heavy machinery and equipment.
Protects metal surfaces from corrosion and wear in manufacturing plants and processing units.

Marine Applications

Provides water-resistant lubrication for marine equipment such as winches, hinges, and propeller shafts.
Prevents rust and corrosion in salty or wet environments.

Secondary Uses

Household and DIY Uses

Lubricates garage door rollers, bicycles, garden tools, and other household mechanical devices.
Used in maintaining appliances and equipment requiring reliable lubrication under light to moderate loads.

Agricultural Equipment

Protects and lubricates tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery parts exposed to dirt, moisture, and heavy loads.

Electrical Applications

Sometimes used to protect and lubricate electrical connectors and switches where moisture resistance is needed (non-conductive grades).
