Read our primer articles on Grease Guns and Oil Sight Glasses.

I've just seen a specification of Omega35 grease and found it is interesting to discuss with you guys. The grease is claimed to be used in the excess of 700 C+ without bruning off, ash forming or residue. The grease has a super penetrating and self-spreading properties to the applied surfaces and even taking advantages among ordinary high-temp grease with their "megalite" solid lubrication.

Please kindly share your opinion and discuss the possibility of this amazing grease.

Personally, what I've learnt was the grease can be maximum use at the flash point of the oil which should be around 300 C+ something. How could this product claims at 700 C?

The Omega 35 is not a conventional soaped type grease it's more like a paste mixture of solids that can handle extremes in temperature with a synthetic ashless fluid that volatilises off @ 400-500°C leaving the solids behind as a boundary and soft powder dry lubricant.
Silica Gel becomes SiO2 in a hard crystalline form at these temperatures so silicon cannot be used.
Teflon is a fluorinated solid plastic like material that will fuse into a hard solids at these over 500°C temperatures.
Fluorinated Greases with non Teflon solids can approach these very elevated temperatures and work OK but the steel is heavily compromised at these 500°C and higher temps so not an easy lubrication area with the machines metal also requiring attention to ensure the components can work at these 500°C and higher temps levels.
