CALCIUM SOAP BASE
Relatively high thickener content 12-20% by weight
Smooth and buttery texture
The least expensive grease to manufacture
Dropping point of 205-220F
Maximum usable operating temperature of 195F
Fair to good resistance to water washout
Poor to fair protection against rust in the presence of moisture
Fair to good work stability. Will soften in consistency when severely worked
in a bearing
Fair to good mechanical shear stability
Water is an essential ingredient in the process used to compound this grease.
If the water evaporates at high temperatures, the grease will rapidly separate
into base oil and thickener.
Poor to good oxidation stability
Poor reversibility. 5% to 30% Reversibility
