PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic GVC is a
lithium complex thickened grease blended with premium ISO-320 synthetic base
oils. This grease is fully compounded with additives providing EP
protection, oxidation resistance and rust and corrosion protection. AMSOIL
GVC is shear stable, maintaining its viscosity and consistency in the
presence of mechanical activity, and GVC stays in place by resisting water
washout. During high-temperature operation, GVC's thickener system remains
intact and the high viscosity base oils resist thermal breakdown and provide
a thick film of lubricant for good boundary lubrication. AMSOIL GVC adheres
to critical components in sever conditions and provides problem-free
operation, resulting in increased uptime and reduced repair and maintenance
costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC is
excellent for use in heavy duty industrial and off road applications where
equipment is working under adverse conditions such as exposure to
environmental elements, slow, heavily-loaded applications and shock-loading
conditions. Use GVC in wet applications requiring excellent water resistance
and in high temperature applications up to 350°F continuous service and
400°F intermittent service. The lithium complex thickener system and high
viscosity base oil provide top performance in hostile environments and heavy
duty industrial or of road applications where typical multipurpose greases
may not perform up to standards.
AMSOIL GVC
Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with many other types of greases.
However, it is recommended that when changing greases the equipment be
cleaned of the old grease when possible or flushed with a liberal amount of
the new grease while the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the
system for any inconsistencies. Any grease compatibility questions should be
referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Industrial for assistance.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a
clean work environment is important when equipment greasing is performed.
Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting grease to prevent contaminant
ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third to one-half full of grease.
Prevent over-greasing as excessive heat build up can result. Supplement
standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning and packing housings
with fresh grease on an established maintenance schedule.
