Automotive Grease
Grease is a liquid lubricant with a solid or semi-fluid thickener, such as soap or PTFE. Grease fulfills the same requirements as other lubricants – to reduce friction and wear, protect against corrosions, and to dissipate heat. Automotive Grease is used in bearings, joints, hinges and other components. Automotive grease avoids sticking and squeaking thus preventing components wearing out prematurely, whilst shielding against moisture and corrosion. Automotive grease consists of oil or other fluid lubricant that is mixed with a thickener, typically a soap, to form a solid or semisolid.
