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.
