General Purpose Bearing Grease — Bearings

Description

1. Product Overview
This is a premium lithium-complex soap-thickened grease, formulated with high-viscosity base oils and advanced EP (extreme pressure) additives. It is primarily used for lubricanti ng anti-friction bearings in electric motors, conveyors, pumps, and fans across heavy industrial environments. The key value proposition is extended regreasing intervals and superior mechanical stability under shear, directly reducing maintenance labor and unplanned downtime. Strategically, it addresses the market’s shift toward predictive maintenance and lifecycle cost reduction, making it a critical input for asset-intensive industries.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Lithium complex soap thickener (12–15% by weight), mineral base oil (ISO VG 150–220), EP additives (ZnDDP or non-heavy metal alternatives), anti-oxidants, and rust inhibitors

• Purity/Grade: NLGI Grade 2 (consistent consistency across batches); no chlorine or lead – complies with REACH and RoHS

• Physical characteristics: Smooth, buttery texture; amber to light brown color; specific gravity ~0.90–0.92 g/cm³; worked penetration 265–295 (0.1 mm)

• Dropping point: >260°C (ensuring high-temperature retention)

• Packaging options: 400 g cartridge, 1 kg can, 5 kg pail, 180 kg drum, and bulk flexitanks

• Shelf life: 36 months in unopened original packaging, stored dry between 5–35°C

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Steel & cement plants, mining & quarrying, food & beverage (non-food-contact zones), pulp & paper, automotive assembly, wind energy, material handling

• Specific operational use cases: Pillow block bearings, spherical roller bearings, electric motor bearings, conveyor head pulleys, fan and blower bearings, agricultural machinery

• Performance advantage vs. alternatives: Superior water washout resistance (>90% retention, ASTM D1264) vs. standard calcium greases; mechanical stability keeps consistency after 100,000 strokes (max change <15% vs. 30%+ for commodity greases)

• Efficiency/cost advantage: Enables 2–3× longer regreasing intervals (e.g., 2,000 hours vs. 600 hours in high-vibration applications), cutting lubricant consumption and technician labor costs by up to 35% annually per asset

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2025 and IATF 16949 standards; batch-to-batch NLGI penetration variation ≤5 points (industry benchmark ≤15)

• Supply reliability: Dual-sourced raw materials and three regional warehouses (Europe, Asia, NAFTA) with 98% on-time-in-full (OTIF) performance for scheduled orders

• Logistics capability: Direct container loading, export-worthy packaging, and 48-hour dispatch for bulk volumes from nearest hub

• Price competitiveness: Tier-1 performance at tier-2 price point — delivered cost per ton is 12–18% lower than leading premium brands for equivalent ASTM D4950 (LB/GC) certification

• Sustainability: Low-toxicity formula, no heavy metals; biodegradable base oil option available upon request; packaging made with 30% post-consumer recycled material

• Technical support: Full product datasheet (TDS), material safety data sheet (MSDS), NLGI certificate of conformance, and remote lubrication engineering consultation included

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 1 metric ton (MT) for drum/pail mix; 5 MT for custom NLGI grades

• Bulk order threshold: 20 MT (full flexitank or 110 x 180 kg drums)

• Loading capacity per 20-ft container: 20 MT net (with palletized drums ≤18 MT depending on pallet type)

• For 40-ft HC container: Up to 26 MT net (shrink-wrapped drums or bulk IBC totes)
