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
