Green Grease

[Tarw Coch]

Had a guy today trying to sell me some green grease which apparently lasts 5 times as long as ordinary grease reducing the frequency greasing is needed.
Anybody heard of/using it and is it as god as the hype?

JD grease is green. Nothing much special about it though?

Oooh grease with a colour additive

Almost any colour grease you want, green is -30 -175c apparently. Have had blue in the past too

Sounds great. Does it contain kryptonite or red mercury as the secret ingredient?

Question is if you bought green grease would you be happy not greasin your stuf only fifth as much as you previously did. I know i sure wouldnt. Handier greasin bit extra than screwin at stuf way worn bushes and bearings

If it’s that good then it will be even harder to clean it off your hands and clothes

Yes it is for vegans and rebellious extinctionists because its made entirely from a 100% renewable and biodegradable ingredient. Its called PLC or porcine lubricant complex but us simpler sorts would know it as pig fat. So safe you can even fry your chips in it.

Some green greases are green to identify them as a Polyurea based soap thickener, rather than Lithium based that 99.9 percent of us will be using.
A Polyurea grease will last a lot longer than a Lithium based, but beware.....

Polyurea based greases are not compatible with Lithium based. You can use it as long as the bearings have been using it since day one, or have been stripped and cleaned out.

So what happens when the two meet?

The grease in question is Fuchs lx pep if that means anything to anyone, it’s approx double the price of complex ep2

It's the same grease that is used in Pendolino trains car attacher beams' swivel system.

Fuchs LX PEP is just a Lithium based complex. So anywhere around £1.90 - £2.00 per 400g cartridge.

Can go powdery, looks very similar to when you use an eraser to rub out a pencil line.
Same with Bentone based grease. It’s not compatible either with Polyurea or Lithium.

LX EP2 is more than that, this green stuff is far more expensive albeit in 500g cartridges.

Up to Fuchs what they want to charge for a Lithium Complex NLGI 2. And that will cover just about everything in agriculture.

This ^ is true. We use polyurea grease in everything unless the specifications specifically say not to. As above you shouldn’t mix it with a lithium grease otherwise it forms a hard grey paste.
