THE THREE C'S OF GREASE

White Paper: While the single most important characteristic of grease for proper lubrication is the base oil's Viscosity, understanding an oil's Composition, Consistency and Compatability (the 3 C's of grease) can help extend the life of your equipment. Learn how to avoid heat, premature wear, and improve power efficiency and equipment life.
