TECHNICAL GREASES With a broad selection of lubricant greases, MOTOREX offers the right solution for every application. Most products are available in a range of container sizes. GREASES: PERFECTLY LUBRICATED As long as MOTOREX has been in business, technical greases have been a major part of our basic product range. Our selection of greases currently includes over 30 products for a wide range of applications. Technical greases are made up of three components: a base oil, thickener and additives. To put it simply, lubricant greases can be regarded as condensed oils. The thickener consists of sponge-like structures that hold the oil and release it when needed. Various additives are used to fine-tune the properties of the grease such as resistance to aging, protection against corrosion and wear and pressure resistance. MULTITALENTED GREASE Not surprisingly, lubricant greases must do a good job of lubricating, but they are also expected to protect parts against wear and corrosion, form protective seals and in some cases aid in assembly. Expectations are manifold and the conditions in which they are used could hardly be more varied. That’s why MOTOREX offers over 30 different specific grease products, each one perfectly designed for a particular task. Regular lubrication according to a lubrication plan using the right MOTOREX grease dispenser is part of every conscientious maintenance program. The machine will reward you with high dependability and a long service life. THE RIGHT CHOICE Which MOTOREX technical grease is right for your application depends on what it will be used for and on the machine or vehicle manufacturer’s published specifications. A universal grease is generally only suited for standard lubrication jobs such as hinges. If specific properties are needed, only the right product will deliver them. You can depend on qualified advice from MOTOREX to make the right choice. • 8
