What is AFB grease?

AFB-LF Grease is a general-purpose grease that provides excellent extreme pressure performance and mechanical stability properties through the use of a refined mineral oil base oil and a lithium- based consistency enhancer.

What type of grease is used to lubricate?

Lithium-based greases are the most commonly used; sodium and lithium-based greases have higher melting point (dropping point) than calcium-based greases but are not resistant to the action of water.

What is lubricating grease used for?

What is grease used for? It’s used to protect against water ingress and provides rust protection, as well as reducing friction experienced by machines. It has a high viscosity, so it’s a better choice for applications where liquid lubricants such as oil wouldn’t stay in place.

Can Vaseline be used instead of grease?

You can use Vaseline (petroleum jelly) as a bike lubricant without issues. However, it melts at lower temperatures (40-60 degrees Celsius) as compared to grease. All the same, when you have no grease, Vaseline would be ideal for a quick alternative. In addition, a white lithium grease tub is cheaper than Vaseline.

What does white lithium grease used for?

White lithium grease is used to keep components moving smoothly, free of friction and seizing. You can also apply it preventatively to protect against rust and corrosion. White lithium grease can be used to: Lubricate car door hinges.

What are the different grades of Grease?

Greases are classified into nine consistency grades (000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) established by the National Lubrication and Grease Institute ( NLGI ). NLGI #000 greases are nearly fluid, while NLGI #6 greases are nearly solid. The most commonly used grease is NLGI #2.

What type of Grease?

There are two main types of grease – ‘ Metal Soap ’ Thickener grease (Aluminum, Barium, Lithium, Sodium, Calcium, etc.) ‘Non- Soap Thickener grease (Polyurea, Clay, Silica)
