Greases are lubricants used to reduce friction in machinery and equipment. They are generally formulated using a base fluid, a thickener and, where needed, additives.
Why does base oil matter?
Base oil provides the lubricating fluid component of grease. Viscosity is one of several properties considered in assessing suitability for the intended application. Grease consistency is not determined by base oil viscosity alone.
SN350 and SN500
SN350 and SN500 have different viscosity profiles. Their use in particular grease formulations depends on the relevant product requirements. Neither grade should be described as universally suitable for all greases.
