Solutions for Rheology and Seal Strength in Greased Applications
Grease is chosen for its ability to lubricate, seal, and stay in place. Failure of a grease to seal out contaminants is a structural problem, not just a lubrication problem. Barrier integrity is challenged by pressure cycling, vibration, thermal thinning, mechanical shear, and water intrusion. When these stresses overwhelm grease structure, the seal channels, bleeds, extrudes, or allows contamination to enter.
