SL-160

Description

SL-160 is of superior quality, wide application grease which is gelled with high quality inorganic thickener. It has extreme shear stability for high speed bearing application and ensures resistance to water and steam.

Application
SL-160 is clean, non staining grease and is recommended for lubrication of roller, needle, journal, sliding bearings in poultry plants and handling industries.

Characteristics
The lubricating ability of SL-160 was made from high quality base oil utilizing enhanced additive chemistry and technology to provide proven performance as a multi-purpose product for both the automotive and industrial applications. White solid lubricants prevent metal-to-metal contact in the area of mixed friction suitable for both hot and cold environment. It has no environmentally harmful substances and heavy metals.

Methods of applications
Before adding SL-160 to a bearing, the bearing should be purged of all existing grease, oil or preservative oils used it protect it during storage. If left in bearing, these hydrocarbon oils can form carbon deposits at higher temperatures, which may accelerate bearing failure.
After bearing surfaces are cleaned, they should be lubricated/wiped with SL-160 and properly stored to prevent corrosion. Chlorinated solvents should not be used because they can leave chlorine, which can cause corrosion.
Proper lubrication is achieved by using the correct amount of grease. Too little grease in the bearing causes premature failure.

Usable temperature range for continuous service is -20°C to 230°C (-4°F to 450°F). With frequent relubrication up to 260°C (500°F).
