Lubricating greases are very often in contact with water, in various forms: vapours, emulsions, rain or more generally jets under pressure or baths for cooling installations. SPEL offers water-repellent, hydrophobic greases able to preserve their characteristics even in presence of high percentages of water. By preventing the water from penetrating bearings, these water-resistant greases protect not only against corrosion but also ensure lubrication without deterioration. They are particularly suitable for lubrication of equipment such as: submerged axles and articulations, cylindrical roller, plain bearings, corrugated cylinders, extraction screws in tunnel boring machines, drill pipe threads, connectors, tap gaskets, suspension bearings.
