Greases: Reliable Lubricant for Industrial and Automotive Machinery

Greases are vital for the smooth operation of industrial equipment, vehicles, and household machinery. They protect metal components, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of machines. In this guide, we cover all key aspects of the greases category: applications, types, benefits, selection criteria, and frequently asked questions (FAQ). Whether you are a professional or an everyday user, you will find valuable insights here.

What Are Greases and Why Are They Important?

Greases are solid lubricants composed of oil and thickening agents. They are widely used in industrial machinery, automotive parts, and household equipment.

Key functions:

• Reduce friction and protect components

• Delay metal wear

• Resist water and dust

• Maintain stability under temperature changes

• Improve machine energy efficiency

Greases are produced in various types according to lubrication requirements, making them suitable for applications ranging from car engines to industrial presses.

Types of Greases

Mineral-Based Greases

• Most common type

• Widely used in industrial and automotive applications

• Resistant to temperature and pressure changes

Synthetic Greases

• Designed for high-performance applications

• Provide long-lasting use under extreme conditions

• Resistant to water and oxidation

Lithium Greases

• Ideal for automotive and industrial machinery

• Stable under varying temperatures and long-lasting

• Suitable for Aminol™ Litol 24: [product link]

Calcium and Calcium Soap Greases

• Water-resistant and effective against corrosion

• Preferred in marine and high-humidity environments

Solidol Type

• Used in heavy-duty industrial conditions

• Optimal performance with Aminol™ Solidol

Factors to Consider When Choosing Greases

1. Operating Temperature

• Each grease has a specific temperature range

• Synthetic greases are more resistant to high and low temperatures

2. Load Carrying Capacity

• Choose grease according to the equipment’s pressure and load requirements

3. Water and Moisture Resistance

• Water-resistant greases protect against corrosion

• Calcium and lithium-based greases are ideal for humid conditions

4. Compatibility and Standards

• Choosing greases that meet ISO, DIN, or OEM standards prolongs equipment life

5. Environmental and Safety Requirements

• Biodegradable and low-toxicity greases are safer and eco-friendly

Applications of Greases

Industrial Equipment

• Presses, bearings, gears

• Ensures long-lasting lubrication under high pressure and heavy operation

Automotive Industry

• Car engines, wheels, steering mechanisms

• Aminol™ Litol 24 is an ideal choice:

Frequently Asked Questions 

1. What is the difference between grease and oil?
Grease is a solid lubricant made with a thickening agent, providing longer-lasting protection and friction reduction for metal parts.

2. Is every grease suitable for all equipment?
No, grease selection should be based on operating temperature, load, and water resistance requirements.

3. What applications are Aminol™ Litol 24 suitable for?
Ideal for car engines, bearings, and industrial gears.

4. What benefits does Solidol provide?
Long-lasting protection under heavy-duty industrial conditions, resistant to water and corrosion.

5. How long can grease be used?
Depending on usage, it can remain effective for 6–12 months; some industrial types last up to 24 months.
