What is the difference between Moly grease and lithium grease?
Lithium refers to a type of soap base, moly and/or graphite are additives. As for the best, I’d recommend a lithium complex (most common) or calcium complex soap base. Moly is beneficial in many applications, not so good in others(wheel bearings).
Why is graphite lubricant better than molybdenum disulfide?
Molybdenum Disulfide Like graphite, MoS2 has a hexagonal crystal structure with the intrinsic property of easy shear. MoS2 lubrication performance often exceeds that of graphite and is effective in vacuum as well, whereas graphite is not. The temperature limitation of MoS2 at 400 °C is restricted by oxidation.
Will Moly grease damage rubber?
The moly won’t bother the rubber. Moly is a waste on damper orings. It, as others have said, is a high pressure lube additive. It is also harder than cast iron, but softer than a ball bearing.
Does Moly grease dry out?
Molybdenum disulfide is a dry, solid film lubricant. Also known as MoS2, it can be used in applications where there are extreme changes in temperature, with great weight loads and high speeds.
Is White Lithium Grease a dry lubricant?
A dry lubricant that keeps your equipment running smoothly with long-lasting corrosion protection that does not attract dirt, dust, or oil. Stock WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease in the garage to keep fleet vehicles on the job and on the road.
What grease lasts the longest?
Better than petroleum grease Synthetic grease has less rolling friction than the petroleum-based grease you’ll see next to it on store shelves. It resists thermal breakdown and shear, too, so it lasts much longer than other types of grease.
What type of grease is Lucas Xtra?
Lucas X-TRA Heavy Duty Grease was formulated for automotive, agricultural, heavy-duty and industrial applications. It is virtually waterproof and is more stable than all conventional lithium grease. It is fortified with an extreme pressure additive package and it exceeds OEM Lube for Life specifications.
Is Moly grease anti seize?
Product Description. Moly-Lit is an extra heavy-duty, extreme-pressure, and low-friction Anti-Seize Compound and lubricant. It offers a high concentration of molybdenum disulfide, graphite, and other anti-wear solids in a high-performance carrier.
Can you mix lithium and Moly grease?
Lithium and polyurea greases cannot be mixed. “They can cause each one to lose their oil and dry out,” said Hamilton. The product loses the ability to lubricate.
