About this episode

This episode discusses the performance of JetLube JET-RED Premium Multipurpose Grease in extreme conditions.

JetLube JET-RED Premium Multipurpose Grease is a lithium complex EP grease built on a 220 cSt base oil (ASTM D445, 40°C) and available in four NLGI grades — EP 00, EP 0, EP 1, and EP 2 — engineered to answer the toughest question in lubrication: how JetLube JET-RED lithium complex grease handles extreme heat and heavy loads in oil drilling, mining, construction, and shipbuilding operations. Four-Ball Weld Point: 500 kgf across every grade. That ASTM D2596 number puts JET-RED firmly in the extreme-pressure category for any lithium complex EP grease guide. Four-Ball Wear scar is 0.6 mm for EP 00 and EP 0, tightening to 0.55 mm for EP 1 and EP 2 (ASTM D2266). DN speed capability reaches 200,000, covering fans, blowers, pumps, conveyor bearings, ball bearings, roller bearings, screw jacks, and universal joints. High film strength and tacky adhesion to metal surfaces resist lubricant displacement under vibration and centrifugal force — critical for multipurpose grease in oil drilling and mining. Dropping points that outlast conventional lithium greases. EP 2 hits 500°F (260°C); EP 1 reaches 450°F (232°C); EP 0 reaches 400°F (204°C). Flash point exceeds 430°F (221°C) for all grades…
