Almasol® High Temperature Lubricant (1250-1251)
Product Description
Long-Lasting, Non-melting Grease Provides Constant Protection for High-Temperature Bearing Applications
Bearings operating in or near heat-generating equipment are subject to temperatures that cause ordinary greases to melt and run, leaving critical bearing surfaces unprotected. Almasol® High Temperature Lubricant is designed to withstand high temperatures, staying in place to provide constant lubrication. It also resists oxidation and vaporization. By ensuring longer lubrication intervals and fewer bearing failures, Almasol High Temperature Lubricant helps contribute to increased production and a healthier bottom line.
Beneficial Qualities
Withstands High Temperatures
- Heavy base oil and R & O additive formulation ensures extended bearing protection
- Won’t melt or run out of bearings
- Resists oxidation and vaporization
- 1251 (NLGI 1) offers easy pumpability in central lubrication systems
Provides Superior Protection
- Reduces wear by minimizing metal-to-metal friction, even under heavy loads
- Protects metal from rust and corrosion
Provides Long-Lasting, Cost-Saving Service
- Exhibits excellent mechanical stability
- Reduces lubricant consumption
- Extends lubrication intervals
- Reduces downtime associated with bearing failures and frequent re-greasing

Differential Scanning Calorimetry
DSC is a sophisticated technique for evaluating the oxidation characteristics of a sample of lubricant in a static condition. It is a rapid and reproducible method that measures the heat flow under controlled conditions. Samples are put under pressure in a pure oxygen or air environment and the temperature raised until significant heat flow occurs. This heat flow indicates onset of oxidation. The longer the time taken for heat flow to occur indicates better resistance to oxidation and hence longer lubricant life in the application. Samples may also be run at a fixed temperature and time recorded until onset of oxidation. While there is no exact correlation to field conditions, several minutes in the DSC represents several hundred hours in operation.

Recommendations
- Although this product is formulated with inorganic thickeners, it contains petroleum oil which, under very high temperatures, can ultimately form carbon and residues as do other greases with petroleum oils.
- May show high-starting torques due to heavy oil.

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almasol High Temperature Lubricant 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.
