Frequently asked questions
-
NLGI Grade 2 is a medium-consistency grease - the most widely used grade in industrial and fleet applications. It is firm enough to stay in place within bearings and housings yet fluid enough to be dispensed through standard grease guns and centralized lubrication systems.
-
The EP additive package in this grease is designed to withstand high contact pressures without the lubricant film breaking down, which helps protect metal surfaces from wear and scoring in heavily loaded bearing or gear applications.
-
The 'High Temp' designation indicates the grease is formulated to maintain its consistency and lubricating properties at elevated operating temperatures, making it suitable for applications where heat buildup is a concern, such as high-speed bearings or industrial equipment running in hot environments.
-
Mixing greases with different thickener chemistries can degrade performance by softening or breaking down the structure of both products. It is generally best practice to purge old grease before introducing a new product; consult the product data sheet for specific compatibility guidance.
-
The 55-gallon drum is best suited for high-volume industrial operations, fleet maintenance facilities, or sites using centralized lubrication systems that require bulk quantities and frequent regreasing of multiple points.
-
Grease drums should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature swings to prevent contamination and preserve consistency; the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available for this product contains specific storage and handling requirements.
