Omega 89
DESCRIPTION:
Omega 89 Ultra Heavy Duty Grease is a premium grease designed to protect and lubricate heavy-duty bearings operated at a wide range of speeds in moist operating condition. It is formulated with mixed-base multi-complex thickener and a package of advanced additives to offer exceptional loadcarrying properties, excellent corrosion protection and water washout resistance over a wide range of temperatures. This grease is highly recommended, ultimately, to prolong the service lives of bearings and other greaselubricated components of heavy-duty machineries/equipment in industries such as agriculture, cement, construction, mining, quarrying, etc.
EXCEPTIONAL LOAD-CARRYING CAPABILITY:
Quality designed to outperform all conventional EP (Extreme Pressure) greases, Omega 89 is formulated with an innovative mixed-base multi-complex thickener with outstanding EP performance. Based upon a mixture of lithium and calcium metal soaps processed with complexing agents, this special thickener offers outstanding lubricity, anti-wear property and load-carrying capability. The EP performance of Omega 89 is further enhanced by the addition of an advanced EP additive. To evaluate the EP performance of lubricating greases, a generally accepted test called “Four Ball (4-ball) Weld Load” test is used. Typically, greases with rating of over 250 kgf in the 4-ball weld load test can be classified as EP greases. Omega 89 out-performs the conventional EP greases by over three times with a rating of not less than 800 kgf. In the market, this exceptional rating is unmatched by 95% of the EP greases without the use of solid additives.
VERSATILE APPLICATIONS:
The exceptional load-carrying capability of Omega 89 is achieved by the special thickener matrix fortified with advanced EP additive. It does not contain solid lubricants and extraheavy base fluid to boost the EP performance. By excluding these two kinds of ingredients in the formulation, Omega 89 reduces the risk of over-accumulation of solid additives at low temperatures and eliminates the speed limitation of extra-heavy base fluid. Subsequently, Omega 89 effectively lubricates and protects heavy-duty bearings operating at a wide range of speeds and temperatures (please refer to the dN factors and operating temperatures of Omega 89 in the table of typical data). In addition, the unique thickener system of Omega 89 is developed to offer excellent pumpability for better application via central lubrication system designed for NLGI#2 greases.
EXCELLENT WATER WASHOUT RESISTANCE:
In heavy industries, bearings of heavy-duty equipment are subjected to moist operating conditions. To effectively lubricate and protect these bearings, in addition to EP performance, greases must physically withstand water washout and help prevent corrosion catalyzed by moisture. No matters how impressive are the EP properties or how versatile are the applications, greases become useless if they are easily washed away by water. Inherent to the special thickener with excellent water washout resistance, Omega 89 stays in place to protect the lubricated components exposed to frequent pounding of water. To lower the risk of corrosion on the bearings, Omega 89 is fortified with proprietary anticorrosion agent.
APPLICATIONS:
Omega 89 is recommended for providing prolonged protection and lubrication to all types of bearings of heavy-duty equipment (including off-road equipment) subjected to arduous working conditions in the heavy industries, especially cement, construction, mining, and quarrying
Note: Omega 89 can be applied via the central lubrication system designed for NLGI#2 grease. However, it is highly recommended to purge the system before changing over to Omega 89 due to its special thickener system. Likewise, as with other methods of application, check compatibility with the grease applied previously and if necessary purge the bearings prior to application of Omega 89.
