Beneficial Qualities

Solid additive combination
  • Contains proprietary combination of Almasol and 5% moly
  • Provides better wear-resistance than other greases containing solid lubricants, including those containing 5% moly alone
  • Meets requirements of major OEMs
    Calcium sulfonate complex thickener
  • Inherently prevents rust & corrosion, in contrast to other thickeners
  • Has very high dropping point
  • Exhibits excellent mechanical stability
  • Imparts outstanding EP properties, providing wear protection even when pound-out conditions occur
    Reliable, long-lasting formula
  • Has very low oil separation
  • Stays in place for extended lubrication intervals

Available Grades

NLGI 0 (1487) NLGI 1 (1488)

Proprietary Additive

LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almamoly® HD Grease contains Almasol.

Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.

Performance Requirements Met or Exceeded

  • Can be used for equipment that requires or specifies greases containing solid lubricants
  • Can be used for heavy-duty mobile equipment requiring 5% moly grease, including Caterpillar®, Hyundai, John Deere® and Komatsu®

Recommendation

  • Can be used with automatic single-point lubricators and centralized lubrication systems

Typical Applications

  • Large mobile equipment used for agriculture, construction, open pit mining and road-building, including articulated trucks, backhoes, bulldozers, conveyors, crushers, excavators, loaders and shovels.
  • Swiveling and pivoting parts including articulated joints, bucket pins, sleeve bearings, pivot bearings, hinge pins, latches, locks, spindles, threaded parts, cams, and slides.
  • Other applications such as continuous casters, motor-operated steam valves, and underwater applications.
