Opti-Lube Lithium Complex Block Grease (1 Carton of 11-12 Blocks) Approx. 48 lbs.
Lithium complex block grease is a high-performance lubricant designed for demanding applications that require superior protection in extreme conditions. It enhances the properties of standard lithium grease by incorporating complex soap thickeners, offering greater resistance to heat, pressure, and wear. Primarily used in drilling and mining, its versatility makes it suitable for other industries, including automotive, heavy machinery, marine, and railroads.
One key distinction from standard lithium grease is its softer texture, with a Cone Penetration Test rating of 70-100, placing it slightly above NLGI-6. This softer consistency can provide better flow characteristics while maintaining the grease’s robust performance.
