Usage Instructions for Grease Lubricants
Heat the base oil to 60-70℃ if conditions permit
Add organoclay while stirring (7-10% of total formulation). Stir for 5-10 minutes
Add polar activator (acetone/water 95/5, 2-3% of total formulation). Add other additives and stir for 25-30 minutes
Use pump to pass through colloid grinding and homogenizer
Deair, filtrate, and pack
Note: Using high-speed dispersant or grinding machine and properly prolonging dispersing time can achieve better gelation performance.
