Long-lasting Red Grease Stays Put & Runs Cool

Customers who rely upon Almagard Vari-Purpose Lubricant appreciate its cool-running, long-lasting, water-resistant performance. It dramatically lengthens grease intervals, eliminates bearing failures, can extend bearing life by up to threefold, and does not harden with age.

Recommended for extended service applications, Almagard is extremely tacky and will not wash off, pound out or melt and run, even in severe conditions. It is ideal for on-and off-road equipment where high impact occurs, as well as many in-plant applications.

Beneficial Qualities

 N/A Withstands Pressure & Reduces Wear
  • Demonstrates superior extreme pressure characteristics
  • Provides exceptional anti-wear protection
  • Exhibits long-lasting mechanical stability, does not change consistency after being worked thousands of times
  • Maintains a seal against outside contaminants throughout its lifetime
  • Protects costly bearing surfaces - even bronze and alloy - from rust and corrosion
Stays Put
  • Clings tenaciously to metal, resisting repeated impact
    • Won't pound out or sling off
  • Stays in contact zone, even in high-moisture environments
    • Won't wash out of bearings
Takes the Heat & the Cold
  • Performs well in a broad temperature range
  • Has a dropping point of up to 282ºC (540ºF)
  • Resists oxidation and won't melt and run from bearings
  • 3750 (NLGI Grade 0) offers reliable pumpability at temps as low as -29ºC (-20ºF)

Available Grades

 N/A
  • NLGI 2 (3752)

Proprietary Additives

 N/A LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LElubricants. Almagard Vari-Purpose Lubricant contains Almasol and Quinplex.

Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.

Quinplex® impact-resistant additive contributes to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and enhanced mechanical stability, and helps to form a barrier against corrosion.
