Como Shipmate Grease

[leeski]

I picked up a tube of this to try, and then remembered the compatibily issues with grease. The label doesn't state what it's made of, this is what is on their website:

SHIPMATE™ MARINE & TRAILER Grease

SHIPMATE™ MARINE & TRAILER Grease is a revolutionary new grease
incorporating the latest breakthrough in high-temperature, water-resistant
lubricant technology. This advanced technology gives you properties not
obtainable from ordinary calcium complex, aluminum complex, lithium and
lithium complex greases.
Environmentally Friendly, containing no heavy metals or other harmful or
environmentally undesirable additives, such as sulfur, phosphorous,
chlorine, zinc, phenols, antimony, barium or lead. Nevertheless,
SHIPMATE™ MARINE & TRAILER Grease provides superior mechanical stability,
high temperature protection (+500F), and load-carrying properties (Timken
OK Load 65+ Llbs) essential for high-speed boat, utility and snowmobile
trailer bearings.
In addition, SHIPMATE™ MARINE & TRAILER Grease has exceptional resistance
to water and especially, bearing corrosion. ASTM 100,000 stroke tests show
no change in consistency even when mixed with 50% water, unlike other
premium greases which slump or break down. SHIPMATE™ MARINE & TRAILER
Grease will not washout of bearings even under total emersion.
Container Sizes: 10-16 Oz.Tube CASE, 12-3 Paks/3 Oz. Tube CASE; 10-3 Oz Gun Kit CASE.

Anybody ever use this stuff or know anything about it? I've used their 2-cycle snowmobile oil with no complaints and is very reasonably priced. I was going to use this grease for my snowmobile and want to try it for farm equipment wheel bearings, tired of changing rusty wheel bearings. Thanks for any info!

Interesting. I wonder what the thickener could be, and what their EP add is. They must have one to get the 65 Timken?

This is the companies website:

The description is the same as the Arctic Blue grease. I took a quick look inside the tube tonight, the grease is black or dark grey.

It's curious why they don't provide a link to any MSDS sheet.

CA sufonate thickener I'd guess used a lot in marine applications

So, what greases are that compatible with? I don't see that on the chart.

hard to know what is in your bearing at this time ( i can not see them from here) LOL anyway if changeing flush as much of old grease out than watch for "drips" that would indicate incompatiblity
