Product catalog summary
Introduction
Friction and wear are critical issues in industrial sectors, leading to expensive repairs and maintenance. High-performance lubricants, such as WEICON Allround Lubricant greases, are essential for reducing friction and wear, extending re-greasing intervals, and lowering maintenance costs.
Product Information
WEICON offers various high-performance greases tailored for specific applications:
  • AL-T: For high-temperature lubrication, suitable for bearings and joints, operating from -15°C to +190°C.
  • AL-W: Provides corrosion protection for underwater and maritime environments, operating from -15°C to +80°C.
  • AL-M: Contains MoS2 for high pressure resistance, suitable for industrial applications, operating from -30°C to +180°C.
  • AL-H: Odorless and tasteless, suitable for the food industry, operating from -20°C to +160°C.
  • AL-F: For food industry applications, operating from -20°C to +180°C.
Technical Specifications
Details include consistency (NLGI class), base materials, temperature resistance, viscosity, and corrosion resistance.
Classification of Lubricating Greases
Greases are classified by DIN standards, detailing type, consistency, and temperature range.
A-Z of Tribology Concepts
Explains key tribology concepts such as additives, boundary friction, and emergency lubrication, providing definitions and insights into lubricant behavior.
Compatibility and Miscibility
Discusses the importance of selecting the right lubricant for specific applications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

  • Thread Friction: Measured during screw tightening.
  • Tribology: Study of friction, wear, and lubrication.
  • USDA: Designations for food contact lubricants.
  • Viscosity: Measure of internal friction.
  • VKA: Tester for welding load and wear.
  • Water Resistance: Tests grease behavior towards water.
  • Wear: Occurs when lubricating film is penetrated.

Weicon Allround Lubricant-2

Even in the present High-tech ageӔ problems due to friction and wear are a matter of course in a lot of in- dustrial sectors. Extensive repairs, longer downtimes, shorter maintenance intervals and lower serviceable lives of plant and equipment are the consequence and cause enormous costs each year. It is therefore important to already fulfil the require- ments for long-term operational dependability of plant and equipment in the development and construction phase.During the technical design of movable plant and equip-ment elements, the lubricant should be viewed as being a calculable functional...

Optimum results with WEICON Allround Lubricant high performance greases can only be achieved following the com- plete removal of grease residues. However, in practice the complete removal of such grease residues is not always possible. In this case you must check whether the WEICON product envisaged for use is always compatible with the grease that is still present. This test must be carried out on the basis of the main components of the grease (basic oil and thickener). Both main components must be miscible (compatible). > Basic oilMineral oil > (AL-M, AL-W, AL-F,AL-T) Polyalpha-olefine > (AL-H)...
