Greases and pastes (439)

The thin-film lubrication function ensures that friction between surfaces is minimised, heat is transferred and surfaces are protected from other possible influences. Different types of grease have been developed to achieve the most optimum results, such as reduced maintenance costs, depending on the field of application. These must satisfy factors such as the intended use, speed of operation, different load levels, temperature ranges and environmental influences. For example, bearings with high operating speeds and bearings with low operating speeds and higher loads require completely different lubricants for their operation.

Operating temperature is a key factor in grease selection, as using grease in a temperature range for which it is not specified can cause it to degrade and result in part failure. Also, the density of the base oil in the grease varies with different levels or operating loads. Long-term corrosion protection prevents damage to working machinery and equipment and, in the long term, means reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity due to fewer operational stoppages. Quality grease should contain quality corrosion additives to ensure long-lasting performance and protection. The most demanding operating conditions in highly specialised production require lubricants that can withstand the harsh working conditions. Inert greases have exceptional lubricating properties. They are suitable for use wherever you need a lubricant that is unaffected by high or low temperatures, the presence of moisture, high load levels or high speeds.

We advise using the right grease in the right quantities for the correct and long-term performance of machinery and equipment. With the judicious selection and inclusion of specialist manufacturers Addinol, NSL, Verila, Henkel, Rocol, of high quality greases, we offer solutions for all applications for different types of industries.

Our range includes universal or multi-purpose greases that allow a wide range of applications to be covered by a single grease. Their use reduces the need for several different greases, helping to streamline and simplify maintenance. High and low temperature greases, where the correct choice of high quality low temperature greases avoids a lot of cost and time. Biodegradable greases, used in areas where the use of lubricants from controversial petroleum products can have an impact on the environment. Greases for the food and pharmaceutical industries, which meet stringent requirements and standards, as well as speciality and speciality greases and pastes for the most demanding conditions.
