GreaseCo SuperPurpose - 10 Pack of Grease Tube Cartridges

GreaseCo’s high performance SuperPurpose grease is formulated with a calcium sulfonate complex thickener coupled with high quality base oil to ensure superior performance capabilities. This grease has excellent anti-wear and inherent extreme-pressure properties due to its calcium sulphonate based thickener. SuperPurpose provides exceptional lubricity, thermal stability, rust and corrosion protection, and superior resistance to water washout. It is formulated with an ISO 220 viscosity base oil, which allows this grease to be a fantastic choice for higher speed and heavy-duty applications (as compared to GreaseCo’s SuperDuty ISO 460). This grease contains no heavy metals or other environmentally undesirable components.

SuperPurpose grease provides exceptional protection against a wide range of operating temperatures and can extend the service life of parts subjected to extreme pressures and heavy shock loading. This grease will not easily washout under intense water ingress, allowing it to help prevent the formation of rust and corrosion, making it a great lubricant of choice for marine equipment and applications subjected to wet environments. The calcium sulfonate thickening system also provides increased mechanical stability and shear stability typically providing extended re-greasing intervals, thus reducing overall consumption and cost savings.

Unlike lithium-complex greases, which need a significant amount of antimony-zinc or other types of additives, calcium-sulfonate thickeners have “inherent” extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties. Sulphonates are known to be natural rust inhibitors, while lithium-complex based greases invariably require rust-inhibiting additives to match the natural performance capabilities found within sulphonates.

Some common applications of GreaseCo SuperPurpose grease include agricultural tractors and farming equipment lubrication points, irrigation systems, automotive wheel bearing and chassis applications, construction equipment, mining excavators, earth moving and hauling vehicles, steel production, concrete industrial applications, fifth-wheels, wire ropes, open gears, boat trailers, winch gears, stern drives, prop shaft splines, journal bearings and all throughout marine deck equipment as well as marine engine rooms.

A careful comparison is often made between lithium-complex and calcium-sulfonate greases that typically show calcium-sulfonate greases hold a clear advantage. Calcium-sulfonate greases out-perform lithium-complex greases both on the data sheet, as well as in actual applications. The most important difference between these two types of grease is that calcium-sulfonate greases do not typically need additives to meet certain performance requirements as compared to lithium-complex greases.

In addition, calcium-sulfonate greases often exhibit superior mechanical and shear stability compared to lithium-complex greases, indicating less leakage and run-out during operation. The dropping point and high-temperature life of calcium-sulfonate greases are also better, allowing these greases to at higher temperatures.

By virtue of its thickener property, calcium sulfonate provides excellent water-resistance properties and does not break down even in the presence of water. To improve their water-resistance, lithium-complex greases usually require tackifiers, which are prone to deplete quickly in the presence of water.

Calcium-sulfonate greases are also compatible with lithium and lithium-complex greases. This has since led to many customers making the switch from lithium complex to calcium sulfonate-based greases in recent years, as demand for lithium raw materials continue to rise exponentially do to global market demands needed throughout consumer electronic lithium ion batteries as well as the electronic vehicles (EV’s) space.

Please consult your specific equipment's owners manual before selecting any GreaseCo greases to ensure performance and compatibility specifications are fully met.
