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.
AMSOIL’s 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.
