TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Virgo Special Greases
Greases
Five special greases for conditions general-purpose greases cannot handle: inorganic-thickened greases that do not carbonise up to 290 °C, synthetic and conventional lithium-complex greases for heavy loads, a calcium-sulfonate grease for wet, heavy industry, and high-speed synthetic greases for precision spindles.
Key features
- Inorganic thickener with no melting point, service to 280–290 °C
- Lithium-complex dropping point of 265 °C
- High-speed grades: no splash, low-temperature start to -50 °C, compatible with plastics
Applications
- Fans, coating rolls, furnaces, kilns and heat-blowers
- Heavy machinery, couplings and transmission shafts
- Construction, mining, paper and steel mills
- Textile machines, machine-tool spindles and precision machines
Specifications: NLGI 1–2
Packaging: 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 15 kg pail, 180 kg drum
