Almamoly™ HD Grease (1489)
Product Description
Solid Lubricant Grease with Calcium Sulfonate Complex
Thickener Provides Lasting Protection for Heavy Mobile Equipment
Lubrication Engineers, Inc. formulated its solid lubricant-containing, calcium sulfonate–thickened Almamoly™ HD Grease for use in severe conditions such as high temperatures, heavy loads, and water exposure. This high-performance grease is engineered for long-lasting lubrication in heavy-duty mobile equipment used in construction, agriculture, open-pit mining, and road-building applications. It is available in three grades – NLGI 2, NLGI 1, and NLGI 0 – to meet the needs of a wide range of operating conditions. The NLGI 0 grade is recommended for use in centralized lubrication systems at low temperatures.
Almamoly™ HD Grease contains Almasol®, LE’s proprietary solid wear-reducing additive, along with 5 percent molybdenum disulfide (moly). Unlike greases that rely on moly or graphite alone, Almamoly™ HD Grease’s synergistic combination of moly and Almasol provides enhanced wear resistance and protection under extreme pressure (EP) and heavy shock loading. This solid additive system helps maintain a protective lubricating film even when the grease is forced out of the contact zone. The calcium sulfonate complex thickener further enhances performance by contributing excellent mechanical stability, corrosion protection, and durability in demanding environments.
Beneficial Qualities
Solid Additive Combination
- Contains proprietary combination of Almasol and 5% moly
- Provides better wear-resistance than other greases containing solid lubricants, including those containing 5% moly alone
- Meets Requirements of major OEMs
Calcium Sulfonate Complex Thickener
- Inherently prevents rust % corrosion, in contrast to other thickeners
- Has very high dropping point
- Exhibits excellent mechanical stability
- Imparts outstanding EP properties, providing wear protection even when pound-out conditions occur
Reliable, Long-lasting Formula
- Has very low oil separation
- Stays in place for extended lubrication intervals
Available Grades
- NLGI 2 (1489)
- NLGI 1 (1488)
- NLGI 0 (1487)
Other Info
Performance Requirements Met or Exceeded
- Can be used for equipment that requires or specifies greases containing solid lubricants
- Can be used for heavy-duty mobile equipment requiring 5% moly grease, including Caterpillar®, Hyundai®, John Deere® and Komatsu®
Recommendations
- Both grades can be used with single- or multi-point automatic lubrication lubrication systems
- 1487 is good for use in centralized lube systems at temps lower than 15°F (-9.4°C)
Typical Applications
- Large mobile equipment used for agriculture, construction, open pit mining and road-building, including articulated trucks, backhoes, bulldozers, conveyors, crushers, excavators, loaders and shovels.
- Swiveling and pivoting parts including articulated joints, bucket pins, sleeve bearings, pivot bearings, hinge pins, latches, locks, spindles, threaded parts, cams, and slides.
- Other applications such as continuous casters, motor-operated steam valves, and underwater applications.

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almamoly® HD Grease contains Almasol.
Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.
