Solutec Grease can be used in a wide variety of applications, which may all have different lubrication requirements. That’s why Solutec Grease is available in 4 different versions, easily identified by the colour coded activating caps.
Once the quantity of lubricant needed per lubrication point and the average temperature are known, the correct Solutec Grease can be selected from the table below.

Note: The average environmental temperature is the average temperature that occurs over the whole life of the unit.
Temperature variations above or below 25°C over a short period of time will have little or no affect on the overall life of GREASE MAX®. For example, periods of exceptionally hot or cold days.
| Shaft Size |
GREASE MAX® type
|
| 100 mm – 160 mm | 1 mth |
| 60 mm – 100 mm | 3 mth |
| 30 mm – 60 mm | 6 mth |
| up to 30 mm | 12 mth |
In terms of strokes per day from a small hand grease gun, output approx. 0.6cc per stroke, the GREASE MAX® discharge is roughly equivalent to:
| GREASE MAX® type | Strokes per day |
| 1 mth | 4 – 6 |
| 3 mth | 2 – 3 |
| 6 mth | 1 |
| 12 mth | 0.5 |
