Why would you use a Calcium Sulfonate Grease?

Calcium Sulphonate thickener greases are renowned for their high performance, particularly EP and rust / corrosion protection. In this video we look at the way they are manufactured, and how they translates into physical performance properties.
Here at Lubrication Expert we take a first-principles approach to lubricants and greases; helping industry understand lubrication technology and pushing the limits of what is possible.

Lithium base grease has already got a very large increase in price, and it keeps on increasing since Feb 2022, due to increase in demand for Lithium.

Great explanation of CSOB thickener grease formation Will Aluminum and Polyurea thickener have their own KZbin video explained formulation?

[@LubricationExplained]

Yes! Will get round to it sooner or later. So many topics, so little time!

[@luissonoma6255]

Can grease that’s labeled “Marine Grease” with a NLGI #2 & Calcium Sulfonate label be for marine purposes. I thought that only Aluminum Complexes greases were to be used for that. My second question would that same “marine” grease that’s Calcium Sulfonate based be compatible with an Automotive Grease that’s is also derived from a Calcium Sulfonate base & that also has a NGLI #2 label but is red in color?

For bearing TOP1 Lithium grease . For Anti Corotion better Calcium Grease

Overbased Ca sulphonate a component in a mineral based Rust preventive paste - providing rust protection after solvent evaparation?

[@GPloyal]

great work. How do we convert shear unstable polyurea grease to shear stable polyurea grease? is there any shear stability enhancer for conventional polyurea(shear unstable)?? What makes shear stable polyurea compatible with most of the soap thickened greases??? Please, we would be fortunate to get it from you

[@LubricationExplained]

My understanding (and I’m no expert here) is that it’s a relative term. As an example, the di-ureas appear to be more shear stable than the tetra-ureas. I’ll have to do some more research.

[@shreyaganeshpore8439]

@@LubricationExplained thanks lot. I too certainly not expert in greases. What I understood from your comment is, structural stability has relationship with thickener chemistry. I guess, tetra ureas must be more polar because of four urea group and only two end oil soluble(hydrophobic nonpolar) alkyl groups. so it must have less cohesiveness with base oil(nonpolar). OR there may be effect of bigger polar head and smaller nonpolar tails on the fibrous/micellar structure of thickener in case of tetraurea. ok. then by increasing alkyl chain length can we make tetra-ureas shear stable??

What's the better grease for hardwater wash down environment, e.g. high bicarbonates and salt in water and sodium hypocholrite? Aluminium or calcium sulphanite based or other?

[@rubikfan1]

You can go 2 routes. Get a extra adhesive type of grease. Or just go with a biogrease so that it doesnt matter when it get washed away

[@xavieraxiak6866]

I have started using a Calcium Sulfonate grease on washing machine shaft seals, Lucas Marine Grease. Its Base oil's viscosity is lower than that of most other greases. What would be the most suitable product for the application?

Can I add that "Salt" to my engine oil? Thanks for replying

What would you use in place of a clay grease in a mower single speed transaxle?

[@waqashussain22]

Please can we make without heat calcium grease?

[@LubricationExplained]

I don't believe so, but I'm not a manufacturing expert. You might be able to make Calcium Stearate grease, but not Calcium Culphonate.

Calcium sulfonate not have high temp ability.
