Grease
The importance of grease
Your machine requires effective greasing for a number of important reasons. The primary function of grease is to lubricate the moving parts within your machine, reducing friction and wear. Furthermore, grease protects the machine from contamination, rust, and corrosion, and helps to reduce leakage.

Our grease range includes
Multipurpose Grease 97718 GR101
A general-purpose lithium EP2 grease, providing solid protection against wear and rusting.
Suitable for use in multipurpose applications in plain bearings, bushings and pins, working under normal operating conditions.
Resistant Grease 97720 GR102
This lithium complex grease offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion under conditions of extreme pressure and is resistant to water washout.
Suitable for use in wet operating environments, shock loading and extending greasing intervals.
Extreme Grease 97765 GR103
A premium lithium moly complex grease ideal for working in severe conditions. It provides excellent extreme-pressure performance, anti-wear protection, exceptional staying power and is designed to work in the harshest of operating conditions.
Suitable for use in extra heavy-duty off-highway and mining applications, pivot pins and heavily loaded chassis components. It can also be used in automatic lubrication systems.
High Temperature Grease
Designed for use in Volvo Asphalt Paverswhere a high service temperature range is required.
Suitable for use in high temperature systems for asphalt laying, in furnaces and foundries and roller bearing applications in continuous use up to 180oc.
Breaker Paste
Specifically developed to meet the needs of Hydraulic Breakers, which require protection from the continual shock-loading and extreme temperatures experienced during breaking operations.
Suitable for use over a wide operating temperature range, and automatic lubrication systems requiring a type-S cartridge.
