Lithium grease "Solidol" can be operated in a temperature range from -30 to + 65 degrees.At the same time they are used in high-power mechanisms that account for a large load: bearings, joints, blocks."Solidol F" is different:
- colloidal stability;
- water resistance;
- good protective properties;
- excellent lubricating properties.
This grease is lithium-based approaches to reduce friction in the joints and mechanisms, reducing wear and prevent scoring, welding and galling.In applying the "grease" should be considered, first, its ability to decompose at high temperatures (above 80 degrees), so you need to use a lubricant without melting.In addition, it contributes to the preservation of spare parts and surfaces mechanisms, storage and transportation of which is performed in the open air.
Mix "Solidol" with other lubricants is not recommended because it will thicken and to delete nodes need to disassemble.Most often used in the processing of the composition of gross unprotected friction units at low temperature ranges.
"CIATIM-201"
greases of this brand are popular among low-temperature formulations.It is used in any kinds of friction, which operate under the influence of a small load as well as at the sites which possess insignificant shift, for example, a flexible shaft of a speedometer.The distinctive features of lubricant are:
