Product Information Almatek General Purpose Lubricant (1233 & 1235) Versatile Grease Protects in Harsh Operating Environments Almatek General Purpose Lubricant is a technologically advanced lubricant designed to withstand shock loading, pound-out and water washout in friction and anti-friction bearings, chassis points and other grease-lubricated applications. This versatile, tacky grease is specially formulated to give superior protection and long service life in a wide variety of applications in construction, marine, mining, industrial, transport, farm and other heavy-duty equipment. Beneficial Qualities Provides Superior Protection Minimizes friction, heat and wear Protects against shock loading Resists rust, corrosion and oxidation Stays Put for Extended Use Clings to metal surfaces Won t wash off or pound out of pins, bushes and bearings Withstands Heat & Cold Performs well in broad temperature range Has dropping point of up to 177 C (350 F) Offers exceptional lubricating qualities even at high operating temps NLGI 2 summer grade and NLGI 1 winter grade provide optimum performance year round Increases Uptime & Saves Money Lowers lubrication costs through increased service intervals, longer life and reduced lubricant usage Reduces maintenance costs by letting equipment run cooler, with less frictional wear Decreases need for replacement parts and repairs Increases equipment uptime by keeping machines on the job longer Simplifies inventory through its remarkable versatility Reduces risk of misapplication because it does so many jobs so well Available Grades NLGI 2 (1233) NLGI 1 (1235) Proprietary Additives LE s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almatek General Purpose Lubricants contain Almasol and Quinplex. Almasol solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900 F (1,038 C). Almasol is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. It minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear. Quinplex impact-resistant additive contributes to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and enhanced mechanical stability, and helps to form a barrier against corrosion.
