PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GLC multi-purpose,
EP grease is qualified against the highest grease
standards, NLGI GC (wheel bearing) and LB (chassis),
and is designed for multiple use applications.
This grease is composed of synthetic base oils
and lithium complex thickeners that provide
the film strength, shear resistance and mechanical
stability required for good grease lubrication.
This combination excels in high and low operating
temperature ranges by providing excellent oxidation
stability, high temperature dropping points,
good low temperature torque values and good
low temperature pumping capabilities. GLC Grease
is compounded with an effective oil soluble
extreme-pressure additive for heavy loads, plus
oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that impart
good oxidation stability and rust protection.
AMSOILs top performing
lithium complex thickener system provides excellent
adhesion properties and water resistance as
identified by ASTM D-1264 water washout test.
This resistance to water means a protective
film of lubricant remains present to protect
equipment against wear while the corrosion inhibitors
prevent rust. AMSOIL GLC Grease adheres to metal
in all types of environments and resists squeeze
out during operation. These qualities ensure
maximum lubricant protection during harsh operations.
AMSOIL GLC multi-purpose greases
is recommended for many different applications.
Its diversity simplifies lubricant inventories
and prevents greasing errors while providing
problem-free operation. AMSOIL GLC Grease reduces
repair and maintenance costs.
PERFORMANCE
FEATURES
- High dropping point of 550°F
- Resists thermal and oxidation
degradation (lasts longer than conventional
grease)
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Good low temperature pumpability
and torque values
- Adhesive and shear stable
to prevent squeeze out
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
NLGI #2 (GLC) is
the preferred choice for medium to high ambient
temperatures, sleeve type bushings, high shock
loading environments, wet environments. and
is the primary choice for wheel bearings.
The correct consistency grade
of AMSOIL GL multi-purpose greases are recommended
for use in heavy and light duty applications
found in manufacturing plants, automotive applications,
agricultural equipment and construction equipment.
These include, but are not limited to, roller
bearings, plain bearings, thrust bearings, gears,
electric motors, presses, winches, bushings,
wheel bearings. chassis lubrication, universal
joints, ball joints, tie-rod ends, and steering
knuckles. AMSOIL GL greases are suitable for
use up to 350° F. When operating at elevated
temperatures, frequent regreasing may be required.
AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex Greases
are compatible with many other types of greases.
However, it is recommended that when changing
greases, the equipment be cleaned of the old
grease when possible or flushed with a liberal
amount of the GL grease while the mechanism
is in operation. Closely monitor the system
for any inconsistencies. Grease compatibility
questions should be referred to your AMSOIL
representative or AMSOIL Inc.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work
environment is important when equipment greasing
is performed. Wipe grease fitting clean prior
to injecting grease to prevent contaminant ingestion.
Maintain bearing housings one-third to one-half
full of grease. Do not over-grease, as excessive
heat buildup can result. Supplement standard
grease maintenance by periodically cleaning
and packing housings with fresh grease on an
established maintenance schedule.
