Got big, tough gears working in nasty conditions? This Lubriplate Gear Shield Extra Heavy grease is built for exactly that. It's the go-to lubricant for open gears that are exposed to the worst stuff – think dirt, grit, water, and extreme pressure in places like quarries, mines, and heavy construction.
This specific item is the L0152-000 model. It comes in a handy 10.5-ounce caulk-gun style cartridge, so it's easy to apply precisely where you need it. The grease itself is a thick, black paste (NLGI Grade 2.5) with a lithium thickener.
It's packed with protective properties. It's formulated to resist wear, rust, corrosion, and oxidation, which is exactly what you need to protect expensive gear teeth from grinding themselves to dust. It's got a high drop point of 370°F, meaning it stays in place and doesn't melt away easily under heat from friction.
It's also USDA approved for incidental food contact (H2 rating), which can be important in some processing facilities. Other key specs: a viscosity of about 2000 SUS at 100°F and a specific gravity between 0.95 and 0.98.
If your gears are facing abrasive conditions, weather, or just heavy loads, this extra heavy-duty grease helps shield them, reducing wear and tear and preventing costly breakdowns. Keep your heavy equipment running smoother and longer.
