Description :
Silicone grease is compounded from lithium soap and
synthetic oil. It is white in appearance, smooth in texture and is free
from mineral lubricating oils.
Operating range of this grease is - 100oF to
+ 350oF at DN value of 1,50,000. Performance life varies from
500 Hrs at higher temperature to 2000 Hrs. at 180o – 200oF.
Increase in torque during low
temperature performance is very little compared to room temperature.
Ball
bearing in rotating airport beacons, heater fans, electric clocks, watt
hour meters and recording
meters are principal applications of this grease. This grease is also used
to lubricate anti-friction bearing in oven-fans, timer motors, textile
slashers and driers, drier motors, induction draft units, plastic gears
and cones in small appliances, ball and socket disconnect switches,
swivel-joint packing, valve stems, continuous weighing equipment &
automotive distributor pad joints. In all of these applications, the
grease ensures long life and trouble free service with a minimum of
maintenance and re-lubrication.

Economics
:
Although
L.V.G. is costlier than conventional grease,
its initial cost is more than offset by a longer life and prevention of
bearing failure in high temperature
grease lubrication.
