Wear prevention and the ability to carry a load are important characteristics of industrial lubricants. Both of the evaluated lubricants contain heavy ISO 460 viscosity grade synthetic base fluids. This helps when the greases operate in a hydrodynamic regime, However, functionality of the lubricants under elastohydrodynamic (EHD) and boundary lubrication regimes is also important. EHD and boundary lubrication are often more dependant upon the chemicals used as extreme pressure additives in a lubricant rather than a function of the thickener system.

LE’s greases are formulated for a variety of industries and applications to provide protection for components and parts such as bearings, bucket pins, bushings, cables, cams, chains, chassis and open gears. LE greases offer varying benefits such as reduced wear, reduced operating temperatures, longer equipment life, enhanced performance, increased efficiency, increased uptime, lower grease consumption, longer service intervals and reduced maintenance.

Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant is a highly versatile, long-life, lithium complex thickened grease designed for extreme pressure (EP) performance in a variety of farm, fleet, industrial and marine applications. It provides dependable performance in a broad operating temperature range in chassis, wheel bearings and other critical grease points. It meets the requirements of NLGI’s GC-LB grease specification.

Typical Applications:
Chassis points, front-axle arrangements, U-joints and wheel bearings in equipment, such as debarkers, ditching machines, dump trucks, forklifts, front-end loaders, and vehicle fleets; plain and anti-friction bearings in a variety of machinery, including conveyors, electric motors and fans; pillow block bearings.
