LE Almaplex Ultra-Syn Lubricant NLGI 1
LE Almaplex® Ultra-Syn Lubricant (1299, 1298, 1297 & 1295) is a heavy-duty synthetic grease that delivers optimum performance under extreme operating conditions. An aluminium complex thickened grease made with an ISO 460 viscosity synthetic base fluid and LE’s proprietary Almasol® and Quinplex® additives, it provides superior high-temperature functionality, low-temperature pumpability and excellent performance in the presence of water. Almaplex 1299 and 1298 provide 73 percent higher extreme pressure performance than competitive grease in the Four Ball EP Test, and in the Water Spray-Off Test competitive greases lost almost six times more grease. Almaplex 1297 and 1295 are semifluid greases with superior film strength for heavily loaded bearings in cold temperatures and gearboxes requiring a semifluid grease.

KEY FEATURES
| •Provides superior protection against wear |
| •Performs exceptionally well under heavy loads and shock loading |
| •Long-lasting corrosion inhibitors provide excellent resistance – even from seawater |
| •Highly resistant to water spray-off and wash-out |
| •Broad operating range of -40°C (-40°F) to 232°C (450°F) |
| •Remains pumpable at low temperatures; 1297 & 1295 at extremely low temperatures |
| •Enhanced thermal and oxidation stability for longer service life |
| •Reverts to grease consistency, even after exposure to high temperatures |
| •Resists mechanical shear |
| •Low volatility |
| •Superior film strength due to cohesion and adhesion capacity |
| •1299 can be used in couplings where AGMA CG-1, CG-2 and CG-3 lubricants are recommended |
