Coupling Grease

Coupling Grease is a dark brown, tacky lithium grease specifically designed for lubrication of industrial flexible couplings. Formulated with a special polymer thickener, EP additives and corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.

The rotating action of a coupling has a centrifuge effect on the grease inside. If the lubricant used is a general-purpose grease in which the thickener is of higher density than the oil, the thickener and the oil may separate. This phenomenon is quite different from oil separation caused by ‘bleeding’ of the oil out of the grease. ‘Bleeding’ takes place slowly and involves only a portion of the oil in the grease. Centrifugal separation can be very rapid and result in substantial separation of oil and thickener.
