Tech Data
Si-123
Product Attributes:
Si-123 is a field proven, heavy duty, high temperature, synthetic multi-purpose grease designed for multi-use plant wide application. Si-123 has superior high temperature oxidation and thermal stability, enabling long lubricant life. Furthermore, the newer homogenization process stabilizes the base grease compound, which improves the lubricating ability at high temperatures.
Si-123 cannot be extruded from lubricating interface areas by sudden shock loads and extreme pressures. It extends lubrication intervals resulting in less grease consumption, less downtime, and lowered maintenance cost. Si-123 will plate out a metallic film onto all metal working parts immediately for excellent anti-seize properties.
