General Information
The information that is provided is the latest recommendations for Verachtert Work Tools. This information supersedes all previous recommendations which have been published for Verachtert Work Tools. Special lubricants are required for some machine compartments and it will be necessary to continue to use these special products.This information is only for Verachtert Work Tools.Grease
The classifications for grease are based on the "ASTM D2718" worked penetration characteristics. The characteristics are given a defined number for consistency.Note: Some greases may not be used with other greases. When you use commercial grease, make sure that the grease is compatible with the grease that is currently used in your system. If you have any questions concerning the compatibility of your grease, consult your supplier.Multipurpose Lithium Complex Grease with Molybdenum (MPGM)
MPGM is a general purpose lithium complex grease that is used for light-duty applications. MPGM is a general purpose lithium complex grease that is used for medium-duty applications. MPGM is available in NLGI Grade 2 or NLGI Grade 0. MPGM is strengthened with a molybdenum disulfide and with a high molecular weight polymer. These additives strengthen the capabilities of lubrication. The additives also increase the protection to the parts. The MPGM is strengthened for extra lubrication and for extra protection. MPGM contains unleaded additives. MPGM also contains antiwear inhibitors, inhibitors for oxidation, and corrosion inhibitors that are for protection and lubrication in many environments. The MPGM is formulated by a base fluid that has high viscosity. The MPGM is formulated with a polymer viscosity index improver.The MPGM has the following features:
Protection against water washout
Increased retention
Resistance to heavy loadsThis product is recommended for the following uses: heavily loaded pin joints, journal bearings, heavy-duty automotive applications, agricultural, industrial, steel mill, mining and off-highway equipment. This product meets the NLGI certification of "GC-LB". Normal ambient temperatures for NLGI Grade 0 are -28 to +149°C (-18 to +300°F). Normal ambient temperatures for NLGI Grade 2 are -18 to +149°C (-0 to +300°F).Note: If MPGM is unavailable, use a multipurpose type of grease which contains three to five percent molybdenum.
