Not all greases are created equal. The secret to successful lubrication lies in matching the product’s chemical properties to the physical challenges of the operation. Below, we present our practical guide based on key applications and benefits:
- Extreme Load and Humidity Applications (Mining, Construction, and Agriculture)
If your equipment faces massive pressures, mud, and constant water washout.
Recommended Product: Calcium Sulfonate Complex Greases.
Why choose it: Offers inherent water resistance and superior natural load-carrying capacity compared to conventional lithium soaps.
Ideal for: Excavator pivots, truck fifth wheels, and agricultural machinery exposed to the elements.
- Protection of Steel Cables and Ropes (Marine and Heavy Industry)
If you need to protect cables subjected to constant bending and exposed to salt or environmental corrosion.
Recommended Product: LSG Wire Rope Grease.
Why choose it: It is a semi-fluid grease that penetrates to the core of the cable, preventing internal breakage of the strands. Its film is self-healing and highly adhesive.
Ideal for: Port cranes, industrial hoists, and mining winches.
- Manufacturing and High Speed (Production Lines and Motors)
If your operation requires precision and thermal stability in bearings rotating at high RPMs.
Recommended Product: Premium Lithium Complex Greases.
Why choose it: Provides an excellent dropping point (heat resistance) and mechanical stability, ensuring the grease won’t run off or oxidize prematurely.
Ideal for: Electric motors, industrial fans, and conveyor belts.
Key Factors for Technical Decision-Making
To make the right choice, our technical support team recommends evaluating these four factors:
| Selection Factor | Key Question | Lone Star Recommendation |
| Load | Are there extreme impacts or pressures? | Look for Extreme Pressure (EP) additives |
| Environment | Is water or chemicals present? | Choose greases with high washout resistance |
| Temperature | What is the operating temperature? | Check the product’s Dropping Point |
| Speed | At what RPM does the component rotate? | Adjust the Base Oil Viscosity (ISO VG) |
