Cortec launches lithium complex grease for corrosion protection

When it comes time to lubricate bearings, fans, chassis, or other metal areas where grease is applied, Cortec’s CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease offers longer lubrication enhanced with superior corrosion protection—even for use on electrical connections.

CorrLube™ VpCI Lithium EP Grease is a lithium complex grease formulated with premium quality, severely hydro treated base stock. It provides excellent resistance to oxidation and has high temperature stability; it is suitable for both operating and lay-up conditions. This lubricant’s formula is specifically designed with superior corrosion inhibiting properties against salt water, brine, H2S, HCl, and other corrosive agents.

Advantages of CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease include a cleaner application experience with decreased dripping and spattering. CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease remains effective even in extreme operating conditions (i.e., high temperature, high pressure, low speed/high pressure, and shock loading) and aids in the suspension of solid additives such as graphite, molybdenum, disulfide, etc. Its thicker film consistency allows it to operate on worn parts, provide surface protection against movement, and reduce noise level.

CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease has been under successful use by a major mining equipment manufacturer in Finland. The company had been using grease from one of Cortec’s competitors to protect electrical connections in control boxes. However, the grease was not performing well, and several areas were still corroding. Cortec’s representative was able to offer CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease as a more effective product that would meet requirements of a dielectric test while being flame retardant.
