What is a grease thickener and what does it do?

I got here trying to understand differences in lubrication, just to buy a cheaper grease for a hobby. Now I'll never look at lubrication the same and I'll be going into manufacturing engineering.... Thank you for being an amazing resource.

Glad to be of help! Let us know if there’s a specific topic you’d like to know more about.

Hello, can you help me how to make mineral grease from Diesel 

[@LubricationExplained]

Sorry - manufacturing isn't really my specialty.

Sir we r using 2 types of greases for same applications at equipments are different and all parameters are same and coming to grease all properties are same expect thickener can i replace organic with polyurea thickener

I mixed lithium with polyuerea can I go back

[@LubricationExplained]

If you've already mixed them and there's been no negative effects, then it's probably safe to mix them in reverse. There's no good answer on whether two greases will be compatible or not without physical testing.

I buy red lithium complex grease couple weeks ago. After 3 weeks,grease color change to dark in the place. Do you think this bad quality grease? I always keep closing before saving.

[@LubricationExplained]

Good question - sometimes that is an indication of rapid oxidation, sometimes it's perfectly normal. The first check would be - spread the grease thinly on a white piece of paper. In some instances grease that looks black is actually a very very dark shade of red. We covered this in the following video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJuvm6GBjtOqgqM

@@LubricationExplained why my grease smell so bad? Looks like engine oil burn.

[@ph-ru4hl]

why isnt Hydrogenated Castor oil, 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid or Methyl 12Hydroxystearate mentioned here or you say stearic acid in its place?

[@LubricationExplained]

Yes, that's right.

[@1xdramakilla]

Some my question what product would you recommend using for a regular grease like ( lucas Lithium grease) to change it from nlgi #2 to say a #3 or #4?

[@LubricationExplained]

Hi! I try not to recommend products because there’s too many variables. I’d probably need to know way more information and actually see the application. Sorry I can’t help!

What is thicner plz name

[@sambashiva758]

Sir can i replace the organic thickener with polyurea,rest of the properties are same sir please advice sir

[@LubricationExplained]

Are you asking if you can switch a soap-based grease for a polyurea grease in an application? Or are you wanting to make grease but change the thickener when keeping the base oil and additive pack the same?

[@rajendranran3478]

Is there is any formula to find 1 mol of steric acid is required to react with 1 mol lithium hydroxide to form Salt ( soap )

Nice video. Please add what B means in the compatibility matrix. And F, P, VG in the properties matrix. I would enjoy a video which explains, how carbon-chains provide lubrication on a molecular level. And how some greases are extreme pressure resistant on a molecular level.

[@LubricationExplained]

Hi! “B” is borderline, “F” is fair, “P” is poor and “VG” is very good. As for the other video ideas, sounds great! We’ve got a bunch of videos in the works but I think they should address what you’re looking for.

best racing performance grease? and ingredients?

[@LubricationExplained]

Good question - do you mean for wheel bearings? I know that the Formula One Teams use the off-the-shelf Lithium Complex, Synthetic Base oil 220cSt greases. I guess if it's good enough for them it should be good enough for everyone?

[@shanepipkin4041]

yes high temp bearing what is 220cst? I just need good high quality hard to find one not alot info or tests out

[@LubricationExplained]

220cSt is the base oil viscosity. Most wheel bearing greases will be this viscosity grade.
