Greases

Virgo Special 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.

Specifications
  • NLGI 1–2
Packaging
0.5 kg 1 kg 15 kg pail 180 kg drum

What it does

  • 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

Where to use it

  • 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
