| Feature | Shell Alvania G3 | Std. Lithium Grease (e.g., NLGI #2) | Premium Synthetic (e.g., Gadus S5) | |---------|----------------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | Max Temp Continuous | 150°C | 120°C | 180-200°C | | Water Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | Excellent | | Low Temp Limit | -20°C | -20°C | -40°C or lower | | Cost | Mid-range | Low | High | | EP Performance | Good | Low | Good to Very Good |
Important limitation from the data sheet: Do not use in central lubrication systems with very long (>50m) or small-diameter (<6mm) lines because NLGI 3 may cause pressure spikes. Also avoid high-speed spindle bearings (>10,000 RPM).
Let’s translate those numbers into practical advantages.
A: The data sheet does not specify a Pantone, but typical production is a translucent amber-brown.
| Property | Value | Implication | |----------|-------|--------------| | Thickener | Lithium complex | Excellent mechanical stability, high dropping point. | | NLGI Grade | 2 | Standard consistency; suitable for most centralized systems and bearings. | | Dropping Point | >260°C (500°F) | High temperature capability before liquefying. | | Operating Temperature | -20°C to 150°C (-4°F to 302°F) | Broad range; intermittent use up to 150°C. | | Base Oil Viscosity (40°C) | ~150 cSt | Medium-viscosity oil – good film strength for normal to slightly heavy loads. | | Base Oil Type | Highly refined mineral oil | Good oxidation resistance, but not synthetic. | | 4-Ball Weld Load (ASTM D2596) | ~260-280 kg | Moderate extreme pressure (EP) performance. | | Water Washout (79°C) | <5% loss | Excellent resistance to water washout. | | SKF EMCOR (Rust) | 0-0 (pass) | Excellent corrosion protection in fresh/salt water. |
