Sil-X® Grease is a silica-thickened grease recommended for industrial applications subjected to very high temperatures requiring a lubricant which will not melt.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Sil-X Grease delivers value through:
High temperature stability — “No melt” silica thickener will not melt at high temperatures, but will remain in place on bearing surfaces and continue to help provide excellent lubricity.
Good leak prevention — Grease makeup helps prevent leakage from bearings.
Good visibility — Distinctive red color permits ready determination that the lubricant is still in place.
FEATURES
Sil-X Grease is a silica-thickened grease.
It is manufactured using high viscosity, high viscosity index base oils and contains effective rust and oxidation inhibitors.
It is transparent red in color, and has a smooth consistency with distinct stringiness.
Sil-X Grease provides excellent lubrication in industrial applications where high temperatures are encountered. The dropping points of Sil-X Grease exceeds 260°C (500°F).
Its high viscosity oil and high viscosity additive characteristics enable this lubricant to seal bearings and resist leakage and washout.
Under high temperature operating conditions, the “no-melt” silica thickener keeps the lubricant in place long after conventional multipurpose greases would have melted and run out of bearings.
Sil-X Grease is excellent in terms of pumpability.
Applications: Sil-X Grease is recommended for industrial applications subjected to very high temperatures requiring a lubricant which will not melt.
Typical applications are plain or journal bearings, antifriction bearings, gear cases in kiln cars, conveyors in ceramic and paint baking ovens, furnace doors, shafts extending through furnaces, etc.
