SYNTHETIC GVC LITHIUM COMPLEX
HIGH VISCOSITY GREASE NLGI #2
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic GVC is a
lithium complex thickened grease blended with premium ISO-320 synthetic
base oils. This grease is fully compounded with additives providing EP
protection, oxidation resistance and rust and corrosion protection. AMSOIL
GVC is shear stable, maintaining its viscosity and consistency in the
presence of mechanical activity, and GVC stays in place by resisting water
washout. During high-temperature operation, GVC's thickener system remains
intact and the high viscosity base oils resist thermal breakdown and
provide a thick film of lubricant for good boundary lubrication. AMSOIL
GVC adheres to critical components in sever conditions and provides
problem-free operation, resulting in increased uptime and reduced repair
and maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC
is excellent for use in heavy duty industrial and off road applications
where equipment is working under adverse conditions such as exposure to
environmental elements, slow, heavily-loaded applications and
shock-loading conditions. Use GVC in wet applications requiring excellent
water resistance and in high temperature applications up to 350°F
continuous service and 400°F intermittent service. The lithium complex
thickener system and high viscosity base oil provide top performance in
hostile environments and heavy duty industrial or of road applications
where typical multipurpose greases may not perform up to standards.
AMSOIL GVC
Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with many other types of greases.
However, it is recommended that when changing greases the equipment be
cleaned of the old grease when possible or flushed with a liberal amount
of the new grease while the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the
system for any inconsistencies. Any grease compatibility questions should
be referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Industrial for
assistance.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining
a clean work environment is important when equipment greasing is
performed. Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting grease to prevent
contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third to one-half
full of grease. Prevent over-greasing as excessive heat build up can
result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning
and packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance
schedule.
