Just remember there can be some compatibility issues with polyurea and lithium and lithium complex greases. Companies seem to still be riding on the fence with this question and haven't put a definitive answer yet. So we use it strictly on motors and a couple of high speed fan rotor bearing applications. These fan bearing applications are very few and its an area where generally only 1 mechanic works on them. Other bearing applications we use Li-complex greases just to keep cross contamination down.

Just some more personal perspective on the subject.
The polyurea greases is not compatible with any bases, i recomend you the polyurea grease to MOLYKOTE is the G0100EM grease.
You can to use for any aplications to high speed bearing,and the contamination of wather is present.
its very important to wash the bearing before to engrase.

Hi Eva,
Polyurea thickeners are very good and can replace most grease applications.
The Best manufacturers are USA and Japan,
USA we have experience with and one of the best was Witco, now Exon Mobil, Remmious's recommendation, we agree,
Schafer (Spelling??) was taken over by Shell so their polyurea greases will also be OK,

Polyurea's are non soap greases and are usually incompatible unless the application can be flushed greases until > 80% of the old grease has been replaced with new and most applications will behave but with any change over like this care and attention is important.
We like the polyurea thickener as it has thixiotrophic characteristics where the grease can shed base oil under pressure and provide additional lubricity and then reabsorb the base oil once the pressure reduces,
soap greases do no have this ability and once sheared and separated will not recombine.

Eva,

Type of product will of course depend on application.

Stamina RLS2 and Stamina RL2 are excellent products for electrical motors, fans and pumps. These products have extremeley high TREFs and excellent shear stability.

Stamina HDS is an excellent product for slow speed bearings such as f.ex. main shaft bearings on wind turbines.

Stamina EP2 is an excellent product for medium speed bearings running at elevated operating temperatures.

Stamina 0511 is a product especially developed for continuous casting machines and roll transfer tables such as f.ex. furnace discharge tables and cooling beds.

Cheers,
GG
Petron Plus addresses water issues as well, also high temperatures, plus with the added anti friction reducers with negative ionization
your operating costs and down time would be less, not to mention increased equipment life.
Thanks

Dear All,

first of all thx for your answeres.

Pls can you tell me something about shere stability of PU-Greases. I've found on internet different opinions. On some pages I found the information that some PU-Greases are shere stable and some not. Do you know the reason for it?

best wishes
Eva
