Calcium Sulfonate greases can significantly increase your equipment life and have many advantages over conventional lithium, aluminum complex, and other greases. Some of the advantages are as follows:

• Long lubricant life – many times that of existing fluids – 5 to 10 years of service is not uncommon – reduced maintenance costs
• Long equipment life – many times that of existing fluids (reduced MRO costs) – PAG fluids have been proven with as many as 80,000 hours on Bosch Rexroth pumps in harsh environments
• Low coefficients of friction and high traction coefficients – PAG’s are a polar molecule and are therefore attracted to metal
• Excellent lubricity and wear characteristics (ASTM Hydraulic pump tests, Four Ball Wear, FZG test, etc.)
• No temperature sensitivity – they do not coke or varnish at hot temperatures – also have very high viscosity indexes
• Water Ingression – unlike oils they can withstand water ingression (up to 4%) without a loss in performance
• Hydrolytic Stability – No acid formation when water is introduced – all oils become acidic with the introduction of water
• Naturally high viscosity index – excellent performance in hot and cold conditions
• Fire resistance (FR)
• Energy efficiency and heat transfer– due to their excellent lubrication qualities and volumetric heat capacity
