Opti-Lube Lithium Complex Block Grease - 1 Carton of 12 Blocks - Approx. 46 lbs.
Lithium complex hard block grease for drilling, mining and heavy machinery that specifies this formulation. Available as a single approximately 4 lb block or a 12-block carton (approximately 46 lb).
Lithium Complex Block Grease
Opti-Lube Lithium Complex Block Grease uses a lithium complex soap thickener in a hard block format. It is intended for lubrication points that specify lithium complex block grease. Match the formulation to the equipment manual instead of substituting it solely because its dropping point is higher.
Formulation: Lithium complex
Appearance: Smooth texture; amber
Where this formula fits
Consider this formula when the equipment calls for lithium complex block grease. Drilling, mining and heavy machinery are the application families in the graphic. Its published dropping-point test value is higher than standard Lithium; that value does not define a safe operating temperature.
Before choosing: Choose it because the equipment specifies lithium complex grease. Confirm the required consistency and operating conditions rather than treating it as an automatic upgrade from Lithium.
What makes it different
- Formula: Lithium complex in a hard block format for systems designed to use solid grease.
- Consistency: Published cone penetration 70–100; unworked at 77°F (ASTM D217). This records the stated test condition rather than a general-purpose cartridge grease grade.
- Supply options: One approximately 4 lb block or a carton of 12 blocks, approximately 46 lb per carton.
Choose your size
SINGLE BLOCK: One block, approximately 4 lb.
CASE OF 12 BLOCKS: One carton containing 12 blocks, approximately 46 lb total. Weights are approximate.
Published specifications
| Test / property | ASTM method | Typical result |
|---|---|---|
| Cone penetration at 77°F, unworked | D217 | 70–100 |
| Thickener content | D128 | 18%–22% |
| Dropping point | D2265 | 525°F |
| Viscosity index | D2270 | 85 typical |
Reading the test values: Dropping point is not a maximum operating temperature. Worked and unworked penetration tests use different sample conditions; do not use them as a single hardness ranking across all formulas.
Before putting it into service
Confirm the grease specification for the exact lubrication point, the required block consistency and grease-feed fit. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s procedure for changing products, replenishing grease and inspecting the component.
