Calcium grease is a semi-solid material. Generally, it is composed from 80-90% base oil, 10-15% thickener and 5-10% additives.
It can be used in industries where lubricants with low viscosity like base oil cannot be used.
The calcium grease price is directly dependent on the base oil price which is its raw material.
In the article below, you will become more familiar with this valued product.
Calcium Grease Uses
Calcium Grease has a general use. It is a good water resistance and corrosion protection product.
Altogether, it can be used in different industries including marine industry, oil and gas fields, mining, paper manufacturing, agricultural and automotive industries. But the main use of this lubricant is in transportation industries.
It’s better to use this type of grease in regions with low temperatures, because high temperature can affect its original structure and change its characteristics.
Difference Between Calcium Grease and Lithium Grease
Calcium greases have very little resistance to temperature. This type of grease is used at 80 ° C and lower temperatures. Lithium greases are more heat resistant and can be used at 150 ° C.
Calcium Grease doesn’t need a high amount of additives while in lithium grease, in addition to the basic additive, sometimes additional additives should be used to improve its performance.
The Advantages of Lubrication with Grease
- The cost of opening and closing some parts of the industrial machines is very high and it has complex operations. When we lubricate a piece of equipment with grease, this material remains in that place for a long time. It shows Grease has a high durability.
- Grease can be used easily without using any special equipment.
- It extends the shelf life of different parts of the equipment.
- Another advantage to using grease in different equipment, such as ball bearings, is that the semisolid state of the grease prevents dust from entering the equipment.
Calcium Grease Specification
Generally, there exists different tests that can be done on calcium grease to evaluate its quality. But the most important tests are the Unworked Penetration test and N.L.G.I .
In the table below, we have clarified the Infinity Galaxy Grease specification:
| Grease Specification | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| No. | Test Description | Unit | Range |
| 1 | Free Acid | %wt | 0-0.85 |
| 2 | Penetration a. Unworked b. Worked | 0.1 mm | 220-242 |
| 3 | Dropping Point | Degree Celsius | 80-300 |
| 4 | Flash Point | Degree Celsius | 170-235 |
| 5 | N.L.G.I No. | – | 000-6 |
Calcium Grease Packing
The suitable packing for this type of product is steel drum. Each drum has the capacity of 180 KG and the weight of the drum is 16 KG.
Generally, 80 drums of calcium grease can fill a 20’container.
