ASMR 😋 TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL GREASE AND THEIR USES
Despite its appetizing appearance, this isn't food at all. Everything this guy touches is industrial grease. And there are many types, each suited to its own specific needs and conditions.
One of the most classic is calcium grease. Usually yellow, it tolerates moisture well, making it widely used in humid environments: in agricultural machinery bearings, fishing equipment, and other mechanisms where water protection is important. However, there's a catch: it doesn't handle high temperatures well.
At the other extreme is lithium grease. It's the most versatile and therefore the most common grease in the world. It's usually white or red. It handles both heavy loads and high temperatures well, and is also quite resistant to moisture. That's why it's used in cars, motorcycles, and industrial equipment.
Sodium grease is usually brown or green. It adheres well to surfaces and withstands high temperatures, but it has a serious drawback: it doesn't tolerate water at all. That's why it's used in dry areas—in industry and transportation systems.
And for truly severe conditions, there's graphite grease. Dark, almost black, it's ideal for rails, chains, and mechanisms that constantly experience heavy wear and tear.
While color is often used as a guide, it's merely a convention. Manufacturers can color their grease however they like. Therefore, the primary consideration is not appearance, but characteristics and composition.
