Description
Castrol High Temperature Grease is a high performance, multipurpose lithium complex
grease developed using an optimised combination of high quality mineral oil, proprietary thickener
technology and a specially selected additive system enabling reliable performance across a wide range
of temperatures whilst exposed to a variety of operational loads, speeds and environmental conditions.
Application
Castrol High Temperature Grease is intended for use in a wide range of plain and rolling element
bearings within both the Automotive and Industrial markets, especially targeting those applications
where upper operating temperatures are likely to exceed the limits of conventional, lithium thickened
greases.
The excellent thermal and mechanical stability of Castrol High Temperature Grease make it particularly
suitable for use in automotive bearing applications where rotational speeds may be higher or
prolonged heavy braking may generate higher than normal hub temperatures. Specific examples may
include cars fitted with disc brakes or commercial vehicles such as trucks or buses.
Castrol High Temperature Grease also offers good resistance to water and corrosion as well as very
good load carrying performance making it suitable for general vehicle chassis lubrication or bearings on
off-road construction vehicles where greater extremes of pressure may be prevalent.
Advantages
Excellent thermal and mechanical stability ensure prolonged product integrity across a wider
operating temperature range, thus enabling extended relubrication intervals and reduced
maintenance.
Good extreme pressure and anti-wear properties provide the potential for prolonged component
life.
Good water resistance provides enhanced protection in applications where the potential for
exposure and contamination are higher.
Good corrosion protection.
Excellent multipurpose potential enabling a reduction in product inventory.
