PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease is an extreme-pressure,
multipurpose grease formulated specially for wet-duty performance. Its water
washout and spray off 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 Spray off 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.
Below: Water Washout Test (ASTM D 1264)
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 low temperature 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.
