Multi-Purpose NLGI No. 1.5 GC-LB Extreme Pressure
Fortified
Resists water washout and degradation. Unparalleled
protection for boat trailer wheel bearings and other components
frequently exposed to water. Stays in place, lubricates and prevents
rust.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease is an extreme-pressure multi-purpose grease formulated
specially for wet-duty performance. Its water washout and sprayoff
resistance ideally suit it for use in the wheel bearings of vehicles
and trailers frequently exposed to water, mud, snow or ice.
The grease 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 Lithium Complex
Grease derives its superior wet-duty performance from its peerless
cohesiveness and adhesiveness. Because the grease holds together
when exposed to water and clings tenaciously to metal surfaces
even when wet, AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease provides tough protection against water. 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 Lithium Complex
Grease reduces friction effective, helping high-speed components
run cooler than they can with other greases. 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 Lithium Complex
Grease pumps easily at low temperatures for dependable cold temperature
protection. Its low temperature pumpability makes the grease an
excellent choice for use in automatic greasing systems.
In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease performs over such a broad temperature range, it
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.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease is compatible with most seal materials and most other greases.
Service and Shelf Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease resists oxidation, high temperature degradation and additive
depletion so effective, the grease may be used for longer service
intervals than conventional greases may be used. AMSOIL Synthetic
Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease also resist oil separation
and offers a long shelf life.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
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. 1-1/2 GC or LB grease is recommended.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex
Grease's unique water resistant formulation makes it ideal for
use in components or equipment with frequent or prolonged water
exposure.
