Introduction

» Quaker Chemical Specialty Greases help minimize your

Total Coat of Ownership while giving you sustainable

product solutions that require less volume and reduce

energy during use while making sure your operations run

with increased safety and reduced risk.

» We offer the following greases:– Extreme Pressure, Aluminum Complex (QUAKERTEK™ AX)

– Water Resistant, Lithium Complex (QUAKERTEK™ LX)

– Corrosion Protection, Calcium Sulfonate (QUAKERTEK™ CS)

– Extreme Temperature, Polyurea (QUAKERTEK™ UX)

– Fire-resistant, Synthetic Lithium Complex (QUINTOPLEX)


Extreme Pressure Grease

QUAKERTEK™ AX Series

» Aluminum Complex Grease: Effective when maximum performance and water

resistance are required, and water washout or water spray off is a concern

» Applications include, bearings that service:

– Blast furnaces, Basic oxygen furnaces, Coke making, Casters and hot mills

» Benefits:

– Excellent resistance to water washout - this grease will stay in place and lubricate the

bearing even when fully submerged in water.

– Excellent EP (extreme pressure) protection for heavy loading - deters friction, and creates

a protective film that prevents welding and surface damage and extends equipment life

– Good high temperature performance - will maintain its semi-liquid grease form and stay

in place to lubricate

– Superior rust and corrosion protection - prevents the bearing from corrosion – supports

increased bearing life, and reduces the amount of bearing replacements


Water Resistant Grease

QUAKERTEK™ LX Series

» Lithium Complex Grease: Effective at water resistance, especially where water

washout is a major concern; Performs well at high temperatures with a high dropping

point of 500°F

» Applications include bearings that service:

– Cold Mills, Temper Mills, Pickle Lines, Coating Lines, and Mobile Equipment

» Benefits:

– Excellent resistance to water washout - stays in place and lubricates the bearing even when fully

submerged in water

– Outstanding protection at high temperatures –Maintains its semi-liquid grease form and stays in place to

lubricate up to 500°F

– Good shock loading protection - protects equipment against sudden changes in force

– Excellent EP (extreme pressure) protection for heavy loading - deters friction, and creates a protective

film that prevents welding and surface damage and extends equipment life

– Superior rust and corrosion protection - prevents the bearing from corrosion – supports increased bearing

life, and reduces the amount of bearing replacements

– Excellent film strength - can resist tremendous pressure between 2 surfaces without being squeezed out,

so it prevents the two surfaces from touching which protects the equipment


Corrosion Protection Grease

QUAKERTEK™ CS Series

» Calcium Sulfonate Grease: Provides exceptional lubricity, thermal stability

(resistance to decomposition at high temperatures), rust protection, and water

washout resistance

» Its mechanical stability (ability of the grease to maintain consistency during its

working life) surpasses conventional greases and makes it ideal for use in high load

applications. It contains no heavy metals or other environmentally undesirable

components.

» Applications include bearings that service:

– Casters, blast and basic oxygen furnaces, melt shops, hot mills, cold mills, pickle oil lines, and

applications where good lubricity, mechanical and thermal stability and rust protection are required

» Benefits:

– Resists water washout - stays in place and lubricates the bearing even when fully submerged in water

– Excellent corrosion protection - prevents the bearing from corrosion – supports increased bearing life,

and reduces the amount of bearing replacements

– Excellent shear stability - Excellent ability to maintain its consistency and not become softer during

mechanical working


Extreme Temperature Grease

QUAKERTEK™ UX series

» Polyurea Grease: Formulated to provide outstanding lubrication in high

temperature applications, and can replace both lithium and lithium complex

grease

» Applications include bearings that service:– Motors, coke making, casters, basic oxygen furnaces, and other extreme temperature applications

» Benefits:– Good product life – grease will keep its lubricating properties under extreme conditions and for an

extended period of time

– Compatible with lithium and lithium complex greases - this polyurea grease can be used with or in place

of lithium type greases without having to clean out systems

– Excellent corrosion protection – prevents the bearing from corrosion – supports increased bearing life,

and reduces the amount of bearing replacements

– Broad range of service temperatures – has a very low temperature at which this grease will allow the

bearing to be started up without difficulty. And a very high temperature that it can withstand before it

will degrade in an uncontrolled way


Fire-Resistant Grease

QUINTOPLEXTM SERIES

» Synthetic Lithium Complex Grease: A Fire-resistant and reduced environmental

impact grease that mitigates risk

» Designed to replace extreme pressure, mineral oil-based greases in applications

where fire hazards exist or in environmentally sensitive bearing applications

» Benefits:

– Fire-Resistant – reduction of fires caused by slag falling off of steel bars in the hot mill

– Best in Class Water Resistance – stays in place and lubricates the bearing even in the presence of water

spray

– Biodegradable – environmentally friendly

– Engineered for extreme temperatures – used in extremely hot and cold temperatures

– Good rust and corrosion protection – prevents the bearing from corrosion – supports increased bearing

life, and reduces the amount of bearing replacements

– Extreme pressure lubrication – deters friction, and creates a protective film that prevents welding and

surface damage and extends equipment life

– Protection Against Shock Loading – protects equipment against sudden changes in force

– Good Low temperature pumpability - flows under pressure through the lines, nozzles, and fittings of the

dispensing system even in cold temperatures and centralized systems
