PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease is an
extreme-pressure, multipurpose grease formulated specially for wet-duty
performance. Its water washout and sprayoff resistance are ideal for
wheel bearings of vehicles and trailers frequently exposed to water,
mud, snow or ice. It is also excellent for use in plants, such as paper
mills, in which machinery undergoes frequent or prolonged exposure to
water.
Water Washout and Sprayoff Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease
derives its superior wet-duty performance from its peerless cohesiveness
and adhesiveness. It holds together when exposed to water and clings
tenaciously to metal surfaces when wet. Components remain protected
during prolonged exposure to standing water or exposure to pressurized
water.
Rust and
Corrosion Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease protects metal surfaces from rust and corrosion, both of
which may be hastened or worsened by frequent or prolonged water
contact. It seals metal surfaces against rust and chemically fights
corrosion.
High and Low
Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease
effectively reduces friction, helping high-speed components run cooler.
It resists the damaging effects of high temperatures and oxidation so
components stay deposit-free for optimal performance and long life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease
may be used in place of separate high-temperature and lowtemperature
greases.
Load Carrying
and Extreme Pressure Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease protects components from metal-to-metal contact even
under heavy loads. Its extreme pressure additives form a shield against
sustained or sudden extreme loads for dependable protection against
wear.
Service and
Shelf Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease
resists oxidation, high temperature degradation and additive depletion
so effectively, it may be used for longer service intervals than
conventional greases. AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease also
resists oil separation and offers a long shelf life.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease meets the highest performance
standards set by the National Lubrication Grease Institute (NLGI), GC
for wheel bearing applications and LB for chassis applications. It may
be used in automotive wheel bearings, chassis or other applications for
which an NLGI No. 2 GC or LB grease is recommended. Its unique water
resistant formulation makes it ideal for use in components or equipment
with frequent or prolonged water exposure. AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Grease is compatible with most seal materials and most other
greases.
