PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic GVC is a
lithium complex thickened grease blended with premium
ISO-320 synthetic base oils. This grease is fully compounded
with additives providing EP protection, oxidation resistance
and rust and corrosion protection. AMSOIL GVC is shear
stable, maintaining its viscosity and consistency in the
presence of mechanical activity, and GVC stays in place
by resisting water washout. During high-temperature operation,
GVC's thickener system remains intact and the high viscosity
base oils resist thermal breakdown and provide a thick
film of lubricant for good boundary lubrication. AMSOIL
GVC adheres to critical components in sever conditions
and provides problem-free operation, resulting in increased
uptime and reduced repair and maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC
is excellent for use in heavy duty industrial and off
road applications where equipment is working under adverse
conditions such as exposure to environmental elements,
slow, heavily-loaded applications and shock-loading conditions.
Use GVC in wet applications requiring excellent water
resistance and in high temperature applications up to
350°F continuous service and 400°F intermittent service.
The lithium complex thickener system and high viscosity
base oil provide top performance in hostile environments
and heavy duty industrial or of road applications where
typical multipurpose greases may not perform up to standards.
AMSOIL GVC
Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with many other types
of greases. However, it is recommended that when changing
greases the equipment be cleaned of the old grease when
possible or flushed with a liberal amount of the new grease
while the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the
system for any inconsistencies. Any grease compatibility
questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative
or AMSOIL Industrial for assistance.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining
a clean work environment is important when equipment greasing
is performed. Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting
grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing
housings one-third to one-half full of grease. Prevent
over-greasing as excessive heat build up can result. Supplement
standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning and
packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance
schedule.
