Balmerol® Autoplex LC

Premium Quality Automotive Grease Technical Data Sheet

Product Description:
Balmerol Autoplex LC grease is premium quality; long life lithium complex grease processed with low volatile
mineral oil and especially designed additive systems. The soap system incorporated in the grease enables it to
retain its structure even under severe temperatures and high loads, thereby reducing leakage and enhancing
component life through extension of re-lubrication intervals. Balmerol Autoplex LC grease has excellent shear
stability and good surface adhesion. It is non-ageing and highly resistant to cold and hot water, heat, dust, rust,
corrosion and oxidation.

Features & Benefits:


Balmerol Grease Autoplex LC provides the following advantages / benefits:

 Due to its high drop point it offers excellent thermal stability and can withstand the temperature rise
during severe braking and also frequent stop and go situations

 It has excellent mechanical stability and is therefore suitable for extended period of lubrication

 It has excellent oxidative stability and corrosion inhibiting property to provide long life performance due
to the presence of unique additive combination

 It possess good mechanical stability even in the presence of water

 Usable temperature range – 20 °C to + 160 °C

Applications / Recommendations:
Balmerol Autoplex LC grease is state-of-the-art high performance grease for all automotive service applications,
including two-wheelers, cars, trucks, buses and construction and mining equipments operating under severe
conditions. Balmerol Autoplex LC grease is multifunctional grease equally suitable for wheel bearings, chassis
and suspension requirements.

Storage (Best Practice):

 Store grease in a cool, dry indoor area where airborne debris is at a minimum. Store grease in its
