Greases are found in a variety of environments, from turn signal assembly in automobiles to the largest equipment in mining industry.  It is used in applications where liquid lubrication cannot provide the required protection.  The main property of grease is that it stays in place, and provides lubrication, corrosion protection, oxidation inhibition, extreme pressure, metal deactivation, and anti-wear.
 
Delta Logistics offers a wide selection of greases for the automotive and industrial market.  Products include Lithuim, Synthetic, Moly,  and Sodium based Greases.  Let our expertise help your business.  Our greases are designed to optimize bearing and gear perfomance under many operating conditions.  Our grease products are two phase lubricants: a thickener dispersed in a liquid phase.
 
Grease Trends:
  • Shift to higher perfomance and temperature
  • Increased use of Synthetic grease in low to high temperature services
  • Continued consolidation and reduction of grades in service
  • Continued shift away from chlorine-containing chemistry

The most important feature of a grease is its rigidity or consistency.  A grease that is too stiff may not feed into the areas requiring lubrication while a grease that is too fluid many leak out.  See Table below that measures Worked grease under a controlled enviornoment.
