Industrial greases are thickened gels that consist of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. They do not run off surfaces and are used in a variety of lubrication, sealing, and exclusion applications. There are several basic types of products. Dielectric greases are designed to exclude water and reduce friction, binding, and wear. Vacuum greases are suitable for vacuum sealing or diffusion pump applications. Heat transfer products carry thermal energy in process heating and machine cooling applications. Micro-dispersion greases contain tiny particles of boron nitride (BN) graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or molybdenum disulfide in a mineral, petroleum or synthetic oil base. Lapping or polishing compounds contain abrasive powders. High water content fluids (HWCF) and high water base fluids (HWBF) are used in industrial greases where leakage is likely to cause ignition. Wax, paraffin and stearate compounds are well-suited for anti-corrosive and anti-static applications. Many industrial greases are silicone-based or thickened with soap. Typically, these grease soaps contain a sodium or calcium base and lithium or aluminum complexes. 

Industrial greases vary in terms of thermal conductivity, dielectric strength, specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, operating temperature, boiling point, and flash point. Thermal conductivity is a measure of the ability to transfer heat. Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage field that a material can withstand before electrical breakdown occurs. Specific gravity is density normalized to water or another standard. Kinematic viscosity is the time required for a fixed amount of grease to flow through a capillary tube under the force of gravity. Units of measure include stoke, centistoke (1/100 of stoke) and Saybolt universal seconds (SUS). Operating temperature is a full-required range. Boiling point is the temperature at which industrial greases boil. Flash point is the lowest temperature at which substances produce sufficient vapors to form an ignitable mixture in air near the surface. Fire point and autogenous ignition are additional considerations when selecting fire resistant greases. Fire point is the lowest temperature at which industrial greases produce sufficient vapors to form a mixture in air that continuously supports combustion after ignition. Autogenous ignition (AIT) is the temperature at which ignition occurs spontaneously.  


Products & Services Related to Industrial Greases
Dielectric Greases and Insulating Fluids
Dielectric greases and insulating fluids are insulating oils, greases, transformer oils and fluids that have a high dielectric strength and are used in transformers, capacitors, EDM machining, and other electrical device applications.
Heat Transfer Fluids and Thermal Oils
Heat transfer fluids, thermal oils, circulating coolants, and heater liquids are used to carry thermal energy in process heating and machine cooling applications.
Hydraulic Oil and Transmission Fluids, Industrial
Industrial hydraulic oil and transmission fluids are used to transmit power in hydraulic equipment and power transmission applications.
Industrial Lubricants
Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.
Metal Working Lubricants, Coolants and Fluids
Metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids are specialized coatings and carriers for metal forming, metal cutting, lapping, polishing, and grinding applications.
Solid and Dry Film Lubricants
Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
Synthetic Oils, Greases and Lubricants
Synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are based on synthetic compounds such as silicone, polyglycol, esters, digesters, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and mixtures of synthetic fluids and water.
