Calcium Grease
WHAT IS CALCIUM GREASE?
PERFORMANCE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS
RAHA Calcium Grease stands as a pinnacle of extreme pressure and high-temperature lubrication. Crafted from premium mineral base oil, this calcium-based grease offers unparalleled performance in various applications. Infused with a blend of anti-wear, anti-oxidation, and anti-corrosion additives, RAHA Calcium Grease excels in enhancing its capabilities across a broad spectrum of usage scenarios. Its formidable resistance to water wash-out, coupled with commendable anti-wear attributes, ensures superior performance even in challenging conditions. This high-performance grease is designed to reduce friction effectively, ensuring optimal structural stability. Calcium grease, also known as calcium soap or calcium stearate, is a type of lubricating grease that is made from a combination of calcium hydroxide and a fatty acid, typically tallow or vegetable oil. The resulting product is a thick, opaque material with a high melting point and good water resistance. Calcium grease is commonly used in a variety of industrial and automotive applications, such as bearings, gears, and other mechanical parts that require lubrication. It is particularly useful in applications where high temperatures or exposure to water or other chemicals are a concern, as it has good heat and chemical resistance. One of the key properties of calcium grease is its ability to withstand high temperatures without breaking down or losing its lubricating properties. This makes it ideal for use in applications such as ovens, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment. Calcium grease is also commonly used in automotive applications, such as wheel bearings, steering gears, and other parts that are exposed to high loads and temperatures. It is often used in heavy-duty equipment, such as construction and mining equipment, where its high-temperature stability and water resistance make it well-suited to the harsh operating conditions. Some drawbacks of Calcium grease is that it can be relatively hard and stiff at room temperature, making it difficult to apply in cold conditions and it’s can be heavy and can make harder for pump in bulk application. Also some of the calcium grease may not be suitable for food application as it’s not food grade. RAHA Calcium Grease is your go-to solution when seeking a grease that thrives in extreme pressure and high-temperature environments. Whether combating wear, oxidation, or corrosion, this grease delivers on its promises, making it a reliable choice for a diverse range of applications.
