Calcium Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is calcium grease which is also the first type of grease manufactured for general use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calcium grease is also one of the most widely used greases in various needs. This is because calcium grease has very beneficial main features, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Great water resistance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good corrosion protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great mechanical stability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But, despite having several advantages as we mentioned above, calcium grease is not suitable for use at high temperatures because it will change its structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, calcium grease is widely used by marine, industrial, automotive and agricultural industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Lithium_Grease\"><\/span>2. Lithium Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next one is lithium grease which is very famous for its durability, high viscosity and stability offered by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, lithium grease also has good water resistance, as well as rust resistance which is also outstanding compared to other types of grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these characteristics, it is not surprising that lithium grease is widely used to protect components against wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some industries where the application of lithium grease is widely used are automotive, gardening, industrial, household and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Aluminum_Complex_Grease\"><\/span>3. Aluminum Complex Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next type of grease is aluminum complex grease which also has resistance to very high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, aluminum complex grease also has good water-resisting properties, so it can prevent rust, corrosion and oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aluminum complex greases are best used in the food industry, but are also known to offer excellent results when used in the automotive, steel milling, construction, and farming industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Barium_Complex_Grease\"><\/span>4. Barium Complex Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of grease is known for having good mechanical stability, as well as resistance to high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy loads and high speeds are also not things that need to be worried about by barium complex grease, because he can withstand it all well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is not surprising that barium complex grease is widely used for heavy load applications such as industrial, aeronautical, marine and manufacturing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-engine-oil\/\">Types of Engine Oil<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Bentone_Grease\"><\/span>5. Bentone Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bentone (clay) grease is a lubricant made from bentonite clay that&#8217;s often used in industrial equipment and other demanding applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also known as a non-melt lubricant because it has no known dropping point and can withstand high temperatures. Bentone grease is known for its many properties, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Temperature resistance<\/strong>: Can maintain its consistency even when exposed to high temperatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water tolerance<\/strong>: Resistant to being washed away by water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wear and tear protection<\/strong>: Can help protect bearings and moving components from large loads and high temperatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mechanical stability<\/strong>: Has good mechanical or shear stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adhesiveness<\/strong>: Has impressive adhesiveness\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually bentone grease is used in steel, manufacturing, mining, construction and also ceramic industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s recommended for medium to large, low speed bearings that operate at very high temperatures, where conventional soap based greases may not perform well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Polyurea_Grease\"><\/span>6. Polyurea Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyurea is a multipurpose grease type that has excellent high temperature and extreme pressure resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyurea is usually made with a mixture of polymer-based thickener and a high-quality base oil which is usually ashless and has anti-oxidizing properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, polyurea can handle high temperatures, and can be used for long periods of time as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, polyurea grease is applied to electric motor bearings, and is widely used in the automotive and manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Sodium_Grease\"><\/span>7. Sodium Grease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium grease is a lubricant made by mixing sodium soap with base oil and additives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sodium soap gives the grease structure and viscosity, while the base oil provides lubrication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This grease is known for its good shear stability, high dropping point and effective rust protection. However, sodium grease is less resistant to water and oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, sodium grease is generally used for lubrication of rolling contact bearings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To overcome these shortcomings, sodium grease is often mixed with other types of grease to improve its quality and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it!
