INDUSTRIAL GREASES
AND LUBRICANTS

As we expand our Industrial line of coatings we are also expanding our Industrial Lubricant line. We have developed extreme temperature lubricants for Oven and Furnace applications. These "greases" will lubricate at temperatures above 750 f and have provided protection at temperature over 1500f, on bearings and shafts. One "grease" actually modifies the bearing surface at high temperature and shows a reduction in rolling friction. Conveyor chains, conveyor rollers and carts used in high temperature furnaces, are target markets for these lubricants.
