AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Grease is the grease of choice in applications with
frequent water exposure, such as the wheel bearings
in boat trailers and tow vehicles.
A new additive technology enables
GWR to resist water displacement and degredation.
The grease offers superb cohesion and adhesion: it
holds together and clings to metal parts when wet,
even when wetted by a pressurized stream of water.
In fact, testing shows GWR loses 47 precent less mass
to water spray-off and 43 percent less mass to water
washout than other greased do.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Grease is compatable with most seal materials and
other greases and is highly stable in storage.
Multi-Purpose NLGI No. 1.5 GC-LB
Extreme Pressure Fortified
Resists water washout and degradation.
Unparalleled protection for boat trailer wheel bearings
and other components frequently exposed to water.
Stays in place, lubricates and prevents rust.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease is an extreme-pressure multi-purpose
grease formulated specially for wet-duty performance.
Its water washout and sprayoff resistance ideally
suit it for use in the wheel bearings of vehicles
and trailers frequently exposed to water, mud, snow
or ice.
The grease is also excellent for
use in plants, such as paper mills, in which machinery
undergoes frequent or prolonged exposure to water.
Water Washout and Sprayoff Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease derives its superior wet-duty
performance from its peerless cohesiveness and adhesiveness.
Because the grease holds together when exposed to
water and clings tenaciously to metal surfaces even
when wet, AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease provides tough protection against water.
Components remain protected during prolonged exposure
to standing water or exposure to pressurized water.
Rust and Corrosion Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease protects metal surfaces from
rust and corrosion, both of which may be hastened
or worsened by frequent or prolonged water contact.
It seals metal surfaces against rust and chemically
fights corrosion.
High and Low Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease reduces friction effective,
helping high-speed components run cooler than they
can with other greases. It resists the damaging effects
of high temperatures and oxidation so components stay
deposit-free for optimal performance and long life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease pumps easily at low temperatures
for dependable cold temperature protection. Its low
temperature pumpability makes the grease an excellent
choice for use in automatic greasing systems.
In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease performs over such a broad
temperature range, it may be used in place of separate
high-temperature and low-temperature greases.
Load Carrying and Extreme Pressure
Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease protects components from metal-to-metal
contact even under heavy loads. Its extreme pressure
additives form a shield against sustained or sudden
extreme loads for dependable protection against wear.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with most seal
materials and most other greases.
Service and Shelf Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease resists oxidation, high temperature
degradation and additive depletion so effective, the
grease may be used for longer service intervals than
conventional greases may be used. AMSOIL Synthetic
Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease also resist
oil separation and offers a long shelf life.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease meets the highest performance
standards set by the National Lubrication Grease Institute
(NLGI), GC for wheel bearing applications, and LB
for chassis applications. It may be used in automotive
wheel bearings, chassis or other applications for
which an NLGI No. 1-1/2 GC or LB grease is recommended.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease's unique water resistant formulation
makes it ideal for use in components or equipment
with frequent or prolonged water exposure.
