Gear

Synthetic gear grease will not only minimise friction but can inhibit wear and corrosion, dampen noise and control free motion. A synthetic gear grease can meet wide temperature requirements without oxidising or evaporating and will provide manufacturers of device/gear devices with an edge over competitors that will improve the performance and functional life of their devices.

Why choose a grease rather than an oil?

Why should you choose a grease rather than an oil, if you have the choice? There are some simple or practical reasons and some more chemical advantages. First and foremost, a grease will ‘stay in place’. How good a grease is at staying where it has been applied is down…

Base oil viscosity demonstration

When selecting a synthetic grease for a customer, we often discuss oil viscosity and the implications of higher and lower base oil for their application. We decided to make it easier with a video explanation so our customers can better understand the centistoke (cSt) numbers on a data sheet. This…

Oil separation test (ASTM D-6184)

The oil separation test is also known as ASTM method D-6184. An oil separation test is performed to determine the tendency of the oil to separate from a lubricating grease. This test is one of the four required tests performed on all greases at Nye by the Quality Release Team…
