PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic GVC is a
lithium complex thickened grease blended with premium ISO-320
synthetic base oils. This grease is fully compounded with
additives providing EP protection, oxidation resistance and rust
and corrosion protection. AMSOIL GVC is shear stable,
maintaining its viscosity and consistency in the presence of
mechanical activity, and GVC stays in place by resisting water
washout. During high-temperature operation, GVC's thickener
system remains intact and the high viscosity base oils resist
thermal breakdown and provide a thick film of lubricant for good
boundary lubrication. AMSOIL GVC adheres to critical components
in sever conditions and provides problem-free operation,
resulting in increased uptime and reduced repair and maintenance
costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC is
excellent for use in heavy duty industrial and off road
applications where equipment is working under adverse conditions
such as exposure to environmental elements, slow, heavily-loaded
applications and shock-loading conditions. Use GVC in wet
applications requiring excellent water resistance and in high
temperature applications up to 350°F continuous service and
400°F intermittent service. The lithium complex thickener system
and high viscosity base oil provide top performance in hostile
environments and heavy duty industrial or of road applications
where typical multipurpose greases may not perform up to
standards.
AMSOIL GVC
Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with many other types of
greases. However, it is recommended that when changing greases
the equipment be cleaned of the old grease when possible or
flushed with a liberal amount of the new grease while the
mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the system for any
inconsistencies. Any grease compatibility questions should be
referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Industrial for
assistance.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean
work environment is important when equipment greasing is
performed. Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting grease
to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings
one-third to one-half full of grease. Prevent over-greasing as
excessive heat build up can result. Supplement standard grease
maintenance by periodically cleaning and packing housings with
fresh grease on an established maintenance schedule.
