Open Gear and Chain Grease


Tackier than gear box grease, this grease sticks to open gears and roller chain. It resists moisture for corrosion protection and can lubricate under heavy loads.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.
Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.
Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance. Grease with asphalt thickener is thicker for excellent adhesion to chain and open gears. Grease with zinc neutralizes acid and is a good replacement for leaded grease.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.
