Greases
LITHCOL MO
LITHCOL MO grease is multipurpose lithium base special long life grease, compounded with extreme pressure (EP) additives as well as finely dispersed molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), which is very effective solid lubri- cant with extremely good anti-scuffing characteristics. This is recommended for high load service conditions in hostile environments or where extended service is intended, due to the additional anti-wear protection provided by the presence of molybdenum disulphide. This grease is also fortified with lithium hydroxide base thickener, selected high viscosity index mineral base strocks, corrosion, rust and oxidation inhibitors and additives that provide good film strength under medium-to-high loads.

IS: 12203-1994 specification (Reaffirmed 2004)
Features
- Protects and lubricates all moving parts particularly under heavy or shock loading conditions without failure of the lubricating film.
- Excellent mechanical stability that is very important in vibrating environments as inferior mechanical stability can cause the grease softening with loss of lubrication performance and leakage.
- This grease also possesses excellent load carrying properties, resistance to shock loads and overcomes boundary lubrication conditions, thus enhancing component life and increasing re-lubrication intervals.
- Provides excellent resistance to water wash-out to extend bearing life in wet environments.
- Selected base oil components have an excellent oxidation resistance that provides long service life. This grease also has an application in sliding motions where the prevention of scuffing is desirable and may be used in dry or moist conditions.
Applications
- Recommended for lubrication of heavily loaded slow/medium speed bearings of all types in industrial machines requiring a high temperature and is particularly useful in preventing bearing damage caused by excessive vibration or shack loads
- When exposed to extreme operating conditions, particularly where contacting surfac- es are exposed to very heavy pressure and shock loads and for continuous service up to 130°C this grease helps prevent the depletion of normal grease lubrication by a residual coating on the metal surface with molybdenum disulphide to give ‘dry’ or ‘solid’ lubrication
