“What should you look for
in a good grease”? German-Gulf Enterprises Ltd offers its expertise in helping
you select the right grease for your application.
When selecting a grease,
one must study the application, its operating conditions in which the grease
will run. For a fuller understanding of what gets into a good lubricating oil –
it is important for you to first concentrate on its elements, including the
base oil type, thickener type and base oil viscosity.
Base Oil
Viscosity
Base oil
viscosity is one of the most significant attributes of any lubricant and is
often left out and misunderstood when it comes to grease. The base oil
viscosity for bearings can be estimated utilizing a formula that requires the
focal ratio and dimensions of the bearing into consideration. It is decisive to
understand a grease base oil viscosity in order to select the right grease for
the application and conditions.
Base Oil
Type
The base oil type is
determined by the conditions in which the grease will perform, such as high
and/or low temperatures, load and force per unit area. The load and pressure
not only will influence the base oil type, but also the additive package
(extreme pressure, anti-wear, etc.). While synthetic oils will be more
dependable over a wider range of temperatures and conditions, mineral base oils
can be applied if you have a more constant operating temperature.
Thickener
Type
Most people believe the
thickener is the lubricating part of the grease, but it actually is what
carries the lubricant in place, like a sponge. A good thickener type will be
compatible with the equipment manufacturer recommendations and will be able to
defy the conditions under which it must do. There are many types of thickeners,
but most are not compatible and should not be mixed.
There are many different
types of applications and environments and just as many types and stains of
grease to get along with these machines and conditions. Thus, a good grease
will be the one that best works for you and your machinery.

Approvals: DIN 51506 VD-L
(1985-09)
The
use of the Mobil Rarus 400 Series oils can result in cleaner compressors and
lower deposits compared to conventional mineral oils, resulting in longer
running periods between maintenance intervals. Their excellent oxidation and
thermal stability safely allow extended life capability while controlling
sludge and deposit formation.
2. MOBIL Coolant
Mobil Coolant ready mixed is a
high performance coolant designed to provide efficient protection down to 36° C
during winter condition. It is a ready to use product that has been
premixed with 50% Mobil
Antifreeze and 50% water.
Approvals:
BS65801992
Mobil
Coolant ready mixed contains mono ethylene glycol and helps to prevent winter
freezing and summer overheating over a 2 years period. It also provides very
goodprotection against corrosion
