FGL-1 FGL-2 NLGI Aluminum Complex Grease for Moulding Machineries

FGL-1 FGL-2 NLGI-Aluminum-Complex Grease for Moulding Machineries. FGL-1 is a semi-fluid grease that is ideal for centralized lubrication systems that require an NLGI 1 grade of grease. FGL-2 is additionally good for older or leaky gear cases that can no longer contain oil.

FGL-1 and FGL-2 are grades of NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) aluminum complex grease commonly used in molding machinery and various industrial applications. These greases are formulated to provide excellent lubrication, stability, and protection under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

1. High Temperature Stability:
   • Aluminum complex greases like FGL-1 and FGL-2 have excellent thermal stability, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
2. Water Resistance:
   • Provides superior resistance to water washout, ensuring reliable performance in wet environments.
3. Corrosion Protection:
   • Offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion, extending the life of machinery components.
4. Load Carrying Capacity:
   • High load-carrying capacity, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of heavily loaded components.
5. Adhesion:
   • Strong adhesion to metal surfaces, ensuring persistent lubrication even under heavy loads and vibrations.

Specifications:

• Thickener: Aluminum complex
• NLGI Grade: Typically available in grades 1 and 2, with NLGI 1 being softer and more pumpable, and NLGI 2 being more firm.
• Temperature Range: Generally suitable for a wide operating temperature range (e.g., -20°C to 150°C).
• Appearance: Smooth, tacky grease, often slightly translucent.

Applications:

1. Molding Machinery:
   • Ideal for lubricating moving parts in injection molding machines, extrusion presses, and other molding equipment.
2. Industrial Equipment:
   • Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including bearings, gears, and other high-load components.
3. Automotive:
   • Used in automotive applications for lubricating chassis, wheel bearings, and other components exposed to high temperatures and loads.
4. Marine:
   • Effective in marine applications where water resistance and corrosion protection are critical.

Benefits:

• Long-Lasting Lubrication: Reduces the frequency of re-lubrication, leading to lower maintenance costs and downtime.
• Enhanced Equipment Life: Protects against wear, corrosion, and oxidation, extending the operational life of machinery.
• Versatility: Suitable for a broad range of applications, making it a versatile choice for various industries.
• Improved Performance: Maintains effective lubrication under extreme conditions, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Selection Criteria:

1. NLGI Grade:
   • Choose NLGI 1 for applications requiring a softer, more pumpable grease, such as centralized lubrication systems.
   • Choose NLGI 2 for applications requiring a firmer grease, such as high-load bearings and gears.
2. Temperature Requirements:
   • Ensure the grease is suitable for the operating temperature range of your application.
3. Load and Speed:
   • Consider the load-carrying capacity and the speed of the components to be lubricated.
4. Environmental Conditions:
   • Assess the environmental conditions, such as exposure to water, chemicals, and contaminants, to select the appropriate grease.

Maintenance:

• Regular Inspections: Periodically check the condition of the grease in the machinery to ensure it is still providing adequate lubrication.
• Re-lubrication Intervals: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for re-lubrication intervals to maintain optimal performance.
• Storage: Store grease in a cool, dry place to prevent contamination and degradation.

Application Tips:

1. Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean and free of contaminants before applying grease.
2. Proper Application: Use the appropriate amount of grease as specified by the machinery manufacturer to avoid over-lubrication or under-lubrication.
3. Monitoring: Monitor the performance of the grease in the application to detect any issues early and take corrective action.
