100gram tube overview

Much of our grease range is available in a 100gram tube. The 100gram tube is one of the most popular container types we sell, sometimes suitable for small and medium volume use in a production environment but the 100gram tube is also very popular for field service or aftermarket use. We often have to describe the design of the standard 100gram tube, especially the nozzle/tip so we thought is easier to make a quick video overview.

The dimensions of the 100gram tube are:

Imperial 7 1/2″ H x 1 1/2″ W
Metric 19.05cm H x 3.81cm W

Compatibility testing format for lubricant exposure to plastic or rubber

Making sure a lubricant does not have any compatibility issues with a plastic or rubber is very important, especially if you are similar to our typical customer and are using one of our synthetic lubricants inside your own finished device that will be manufactured in large volumes; any deformation or…

Lubrication regime explanation-Types of lubrication

There are three primary lubrication regimes, which are boundary, mixed, and hydrodynamic lubrication. Lubrication regimes describe the type of lubrication film that is created under specific operating conditions and is dependent on the degree of contact between surfaces. Boundary Lubrication During boundary lubrication, opposing surfaces meet with little or no…

5gram tube overview

Much of our grease range is available in a 5gram tube. The 5gram tube is small and so more suitable for field service kits and aftermarket use. The 5gram tubes have a screw cap lid and already have a 1.52mm (0.06inch) hole/orifice at the end of the nozzle. The nozzle can…

Oil separation of grease

Oil will separate from grease for a number or reasons. It is important to point our that oil separation from grease is normal, it happens with most grease, both synthetic and mineral but of course the amount of oil separation will vary depending on the chemistry used in the grease,…

Understanding Kinematic Viscosity

Kinematic Viscosity (KV) is a type of viscosity data point that you will see on all our synthetic lubricant technical data sheets. There are different ways to measure the viscosity of a lubricant as the subject matter is not simple. Kinematic Viscosity is an oil/fluid resistance to flow under the…

Lubricants and possible plastic or rubber compatibility issues

If you are trialling the use of a grease or oil in a prototype device then you will appreciate how crucial lubricants can be; extending the functional life of components, improving the tactile feel of customer operated controls…the reasons to include a lubricant are many and well worthwhile. Before you…
