In fact, in our daily lives many people are not quite able to distinguish between grease and lubricant what is the difference, always thought that the bright play is the effectiveness of lubrication, but not clear about the difference between the two, today we will introduce the grease and lubricant what is the difference.

1, adhesion when the friction parts in a static state, grease can maintain its original shape, not by gravity and automatic loss, but also will not be in the vertical surface of the slip and drip from the gap out. This feature is very suitable for friction parts that stop and start or are not often opened, for parts where it is very difficult to replenish the grease material (e.g. crane aerial work lubrication parts), and for open or poorly sealed parts. When the friction area is in motion, the grease is not subject to centrifugal forces like oil and will not splash out of poorly sealed areas. Some dripping or spattering can be almost completely avoided, thus ensuring that the environment is free or less contaminated and preventing contamination of the product. This is particularly important for industries such as paper, weaving and food.

2, pressure resistance grease in the metal surface adsorption capacity is much larger than the lubricant, and can form a more solid oil film, to withstand the relatively high work load, which is due to grease contains a large number of polar material results. In addition, it will be used as the base grease, when adding polar additives, the feeling is also better than the lubricant.

3, the use of temperature range grease working temperature range is wider than the lubricant. For example, general lithium grease can be used in -20~120℃ temperature range, general calcium or sodium grease can also be used in -20~60℃ or -20~120℃. However, a particular grade of lubricant is used in a much narrower temperature range.
