LE Almatek General Purpose Grease
LE Almatek® General Purpose Lubricant (1233 & 1235) is a technologically advanced, tacky grease designed to withstand shock loading, pound-out and water washout in friction and anti-friction bearings, chassis points and other grease-lubricated applications. Containing LE’s proprietary Almasol® and Quinplex® additives, it gives superior protection and long service life across construction, marine, mining, industrial, transport, farm and other heavy-duty equipment. NLGI 2 (summer) and NLGI 1 (winter) grades provide optimum performance year round.
