LE Almamoly HD Grease NLGI 0
LE Almamoly™ HD Grease (1488–1487) is a solid lubricant-containing, calcium sulfonate complex thickened grease formulated for severe conditions such as high temperatures, heavy loads and water. Intended for long-lasting use in heavy-duty mobile equipment used in construction, agriculture, open pit mining and road-building, it combines LE’s proprietary Almasol® solid additive with 5 percent molybdenum disulfide (moly). This synergistic combination gives better wear resistance than greases relying on moly or graphite alone and helps ensure reliable lubrication, even when lubricant is squeezed out of the contact zone by extreme pressure or heavy shock loading.

KEY FEATURES
| •Proprietary combination of Almasol and 5% moly |
| •Better wear resistance than other greases containing solid lubricants, including those containing 5% moly alone |
| •Meets requirements of major OEMs |
| •Calcium sulfonate complex thickener inherently prevents rust and corrosion |
| •Very high dropping point |
| •Excellent mechanical stability |
| •Outstanding EP properties, providing wear protection even when pound-out conditions occur |
| •Very low oil separation |
| •Stays in place for extended lubrication intervals |
APPLICATIONS
| •Large mobile equipment for agriculture, construction, open pit mining and road-building, including articulated trucks, backhoes, bulldozers, conveyors, crushers, excavators, loaders and shovels |
| •Swivelling and pivoting parts including articulated joints, bucket pins, sleeve bearings, pivot bearings, hinge pins, latches, locks, spindles, threaded parts, cams and slides |
| •Continuous casters, motor-operated steam valves and underwater applications |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
| Performance Requirements Met or Exceeded | Can be used for equipment that requires or specifies greases containing solid lubricants; can be used for heavy-duty mobile equipment requiring 5% moly grease, including Caterpillar®, Hyundai®, John Deere® and Komatsu® |
| Recommendations | Both grades can be used with single- or multi-point automatic lubrication systems; 1487 is good for use in centralised lube systems at temperatures lower than -9.4°C (15°F) |
| Available Grades | NLGI 1 (1488), NLGI 0 (1487) |
