GREASE MANUFACTURING
[EIRI/EDPR/1600] J.C. 399
These consist of a dispersion of a metallic soap in a lubricating oil and vary from mobile ligands to hard solids. Sodium or Calcium soaps are more commonly employed but for special purposes aluminium or lithium soaps are used. Greases are used for lubricating bearings and other moving parts where lube oil would be unsuitable.
Primary components of greases are mineral oils & soaps. The oil consists of varying proportions of paraffinic naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbon. Soaps used in grease may be derived from animal or vegetable oils or fatty acids, wool grease, resin or petroleum acids. apart from this variety of other compounds are added to lubricating greases to improve specific properties.such components are corrosion and rust inhibiton, and wear prevention agents. a grease thus produced is properly thicked in order that it remains in contact with the moving surfaces and does not leak out under pressure. Grease acts as a seal against dirt, dripping and spattering is eliminated, minimizes starting frictions.
