DropsA POLAR GREASE (NLGI 2)

The grease is the active medium of any grease lubrication and determines the wear protection, adhesion and service life at the friction point. DropsA POLAR GREASE of NLGI class 2 is a grease for lubricating bearings, joints and guides in industrial applications. It adheres well to the friction surfaces, stays at the lubrication point and forms a load-bearing, durable lubricating film. Because grease does not run off like oil, it is the right choice wherever the lubricant must remain in place. POLAR GREASE sits at the heart of DropsA's lubricants range for grease-based systems. Grease consists of a base oil and a thickener that holds the oil at the lubrication point. The thickener acts as a reservoir, releasing the base oil to the contact under load while keeping it where it is needed. This is why grease both lubricates and seals. The NLGI 2 consistency is a versatile, widely used class that pumps reliably through automatic systems while staying firmly at the point. NLGI 2 grease for bearings, joints and guides Adheres to the friction surfaces and stays at the point Forms a load-bearing, durable lubricating film Helps seal the point against dirt, water and contamination Versatile NLGI 2 consistency — pumps reliably in automatic systems The right grease is selected by the NLGI consistency class, the operating temperature and the load and speed at the point, as well as compatibility with the pump and metering system. NLGI 2 is a general-purpose class suited to most bearings and central grease systems. Where the lubricant must instead flow freely as a film — for example in circulating-oil systems — an oil such as Smart Oil 2 is the counterpart, and our team is happy to advise.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about DropsA POLAR GREASE

What is DropsA POLAR GREASE?
It is an NLGI 2 grease for lubricating bearings, joints and guides, which adheres to the friction surfaces and forms a load-bearing, durable film.
How does grease differ from oil?
Grease is a base oil held in place by a thickener, so it stays at the lubrication point and also helps seal it; oil flows freely and is used where a moving film is needed.
What does NLGI 2 mean?
NLGI 2 is a consistency class — a versatile, widely used grade that pumps reliably through automatic systems while staying firmly at the point.
Where is POLAR GREASE used?
On bearings, joints and guides across metalworking, mobile equipment and general industry, delivered by single-point, central and progressive grease systems.
How is the right grease selected?
By the NLGI class, the operating temperature, the load and speed at the point, and compatibility with the pump and metering system.
