Almagard® Vari-Purpose Lubricant (3750-3752)
Product Description
Long-lasting Red Grease Stays Put & Runs Cool
Customers who rely upon Almagard Vari-Purpose Lubricant appreciate its cool-running, long-lasting, water-resistant performance. It dramatically lengthens grease intervals, eliminates bearing failures, can extend bearing life by up to threefold, and does not harden with age.
Recommended for extended service applications, Almagard is extremely tacky and will not wash off, pound out or melt and run, even in severe conditions. It is ideal for on-and off-road equipment where high impact occurs, as well as many in-plant applications.
Beneficial Qualities
Withstands Pressure & Reduces Wear
- Demonstrates superior extreme pressure characteristics
- Provides exceptional anti-wear protection
- Exhibits long-lasting mechanical stability, does not change consistency after being worked thousands of times
- Maintains a seal against outside contaminants throughout its lifetime
- Protects costly bearing surfaces – even bronze and alloy – from rust and corrosion
Stays Put
- Clings tenaciously to metal, resisting repeated impact
- Won’t pound out or sling off
- Stays in contact zone, even in high-moisture environments
- Won’t wash out of bearings
Takes the Heat & the Cold
- Performs well in a broad temperature range
- Has a dropping point of up to 282°C (540°F)
- Resists oxidation and won’t melt and run from bearings
- 3750 (NLGI Grade 0) offers reliable pumpability at temps as low as -29°C (-20°F)

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE
lubricants. Almagard Vari-Purpose Lubricant contains
Almasol and Quinplex.
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.
Quinplex® impact-resistant additive contributes
to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and
enhanced mechanical stability, and helps to form a
barrier against corrosion.
