Product Application
Synthetic Industrial Grease can be applied from ambient temperatures of -40° F to +356° F (-40° C to +180° C) depending on lubrication system design and method of application. Synthetic Industrial Grease has an operating temperature range of -50° F to +356° F (-46° C to +180° C) once in the application.
CAUTION: Follow equipment manufacturer’s recommendations concerning lubrication frequencies. Failure to follow correct lubrication practices can result in premature equipment failure.
Compatibility of Grease
Synthetic Industrial Grease is generally compatible with calcium, calcium 12-OH stearate, calcium sulfonate, lithium and lithium-complex thickened greases. Timken recommends that all grease be removed from the application prior to changing greases. Then, the lubrication interval is reduced by half for the first lubrication cycle before resuming the normal lubrication interval.
Handling and Storage
Store in a dry area away from heat and open flame. See Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for more information.
Shipping and Disposal Information
Follow governmental regulations pertaining to the shipping and disposal of this product. Do not reuse container after use. See MSDS sheet for more information.
