Monolec® Industrial Lubricant (4701)
Product Description
Versatile Water-Resistant Grease Formulated Specifically for Centralized Lubrication Systems
Designed especially for use in centralized lubrication systems, Monolec® Industrial Lubricant ensures consistent pumpability for reliable equipment protection in a variety of industrial applications. This aluminum complex grease provides excellent water resistance and will not form permanent emulsions when moisture is present, further protecting equipment from the effects of rust and corrosion. It contains Monolec®, LE’s proprietary wear-reducing additive that provides additional protection from wear, friction and heat; and it contains an extreme pressure additive for performance when heavy loads are present.
Beneficial Qualities
Lube System Compatibility
- Reliably pumpable for centralized lubrication equipment
- Can handle extreme cold; pumpable down to -40°C (-40°F)
- Exhibits low separation or “bleed” in centralized systems
Protection
- Combats moisture
- Protects against rust & corrosion
Extreme Pressure & Wear Protection
- Protects equipment against metal-to-metal contact and scoring
- Performs well under heavy loads and shock-loading conditions
Long-Lasting Performance
- Maintains exceptional film strength
- Remains mechanically stable throughout its use
- Maintains consistency after being repeatedly heated and cooled
- Maintains excellent heat reversion
- Will not oxidize or harden with age; old grease is easily pushed out and replaced with fresh grease
In Comparison Testing, Monolec Industrial Lubricant Shows Superiority in Low-Temperature Pumpability
Two important characteristics of NLGI 1, 0 and 00 greases are their low-temperature pumpability (below) and loadcarrying capacity (next page). Of the comparable lubricants tested (see A-E below), only LE’s Monolec Industrial Lubricant (4700-4702) showed superior characteristics in BOTH tests.
The U.S. Steel S-75 Grease Mobility Test is designed to demonstrate the low-temperature pumpability characteristics of a lubricant as would be seen in a centralized lubrication system. Higher flow rates indicate better low-temperature pumpability.
In Comparison Testing, Monolec Industrial Lubricant Shows Superiority in Load-Carrying Capacity
Two important characteristics of NLGI 1, 0 and 00 greases are their low-temperature pumpability (previous page) and load-carrying capacity (below). Of the lubricants tested (see A-E below), only LE’s Monolec Industrial Lubricant (47004702) showed superior characteristics in BOTH tests.
The Timken OK Load Test (ASTM D2059) measures the load-carrying capability of a lubricant, an important consideration in selecting a lubricant for a heavily loaded bearing.
Typical Applications
- Centralized automatic lubrication systems
- Use where pumpable medium-EP grease is required
- Especially good for low-temperature grease applications
- 4701: Angelus Sanitary Can Machine
- 4702: Diamond Power Soot Blowers
Typical Applications
- Operating range: -40° to 149°C (-40 to 300°F)

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Monolec Industrial Lubricant contains Monolec.
Monolec® wear-reducing additive creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing oil film strength without affecting clearances. An invaluable component in LE’s engine oils, industrial oils and many of its other lubricants, Monolec allows opposing surfaces to slide by one another, greatly reducing friction, heat and wear.
