Greases

LubeCon offers a comprehensive range of world class Castrol greases that provide advanced protection of capital-intensive equipment.

We can help ensure your equipment runs reliably for long periods of time, even in difficult – and sometimes hostile – environments, giving you improved production efficiency. Our goal is to achieve longer bearing life, optimize application performance, extend maintenance intervals, increase productivity, decrease maintenance costs and minimize overall grease consumption and waste.
Machine bearings coated with industrial grease from LubeCon. LubeCon grease penetrates all parts of the bearing to provide superior lubrication.

Multi-Purpose, High-Performance

Extremely high load carrying capacity in this direction (250,000 psi). Sulfide layers shear easily in this direction to produce low coefficient of friction.

The MoS2 structure in industrial grease allows for high load bearing in the perpendicular direction; still shearing easily in the parallel direction.
The MoS2 structure of Molybdenum Disulfide allows for extremely high load carrying capability in the perpendicular direction (250,000 psi) while shearing easily in the parallel direction to provide very low coefficient of friction to moving parts.
Solid lubricants are worked onto the metal surface to help prevent metal-to-metal contact.
Solid film additives in industrial lubricants and greases prevent metal-to-metal contact and reduce machine wear.
Lubricating solids have a natural affinity for metal surfaces and provide an additional layer of protection to lower frictional forces and reduce wear rates.

Resistant to Washout

In many applications, the washing action of water or coolant can be highly problematic and lead to poor grease retention as well as equipment corrosion and failure. Castrol formulates our high-performance greases to resist this washout effect and remain on bearing surfaces much longer, thus preventing corrosion even in the presence of aggressive process waters. The long-term effects are much lower grease usage and greatly extended equipment life.
Water or coolant can wash grease off of machines, leading to corrosion and failure. Castrol has much lower water washout than other leading greases.
Exceptional water resistance of Castrol Molub-Alloy 6040/460-1.5 compared to conventional competitors.
Castrol grease resists water spray-off much better than leading competitors, as shown in this chart.
