Where are multi-purpose lubricants used?
Multi-purpose grease is used on a wide range of applications, across almost every industry.
Applications where multi-purpose grease can be used include:
- Agricultural equipment
- Conveyors
- Electric motors
- Fans
- Wheel bearings
- And many more
Types of Multi-Purpose Grease:
- Lithium Grease: One of the most common types, known for its good temperature stability, water resistance, and mechanical stability.
- Calcium Grease: Offers excellent water resistance and is often used in marine applications.
- Polyurea Grease: Known for its high-temperature stability and long service life, often used in electric motor bearings.
- Synthetic Grease: Made from synthetic base oils, providing superior performance in extreme temperatures and conditions
The differences between multi-purpose grease and bearing grease
Whilst multi-purpose grease and bearing grease are largely interchangeable terms, there are some fundamental differences in their formulas and usage. Multi-purpose grease represents a generalist formula, applicable to a wide range of machinery, helping to improve workflows and extend machine lifespans.
Bearing grease contrasts this, representing a more specialist formula, designed to withstand the high temperatures which bearings within high-pressure machinery can be placed under.
Where to use bearing grease
Unlike multi-purpose grease, bearing grease is a formula designed for usage specifically within high-temperature conditions. Bearing grease is formulated to act under high-pressure and heat situations, meaning in machinery where multi-purpose grease is liable to thinning due to heat, bearing grease should be deployed to ensure smooth workflows.
