Clay Base Grease

Clay Base Grease is a non-soap thickened grease in which finely dispersed clay particles form the grease structure. Since clay does not have a melting point like soap thickeners, this grease does not exhibit a conventional dropping point, making it suitable for continuous operation at very high temperatures.

Unlike soap-based greases, clay base greases maintain their structure even at temperatures exceeding the limits of lithium, calcium, or complex greases. However, lubrication performance depends largely on the stability of the base oil used.

Key Properties of Clay Base Grease

Clay base grease is engineered specifically for extreme thermal environments.

• No dropping point, suitable for very high-temperature operation
• Excellent thermal stability at elevated temperatures
• Maintains structure without melting or softening
• Good oxidation resistance with appropriate base oils
• Stable performance in continuous heat exposure
• Suitable for slow to moderate speed applications
• Effective lubrication in dry, high-temperature environments

These properties make clay base grease indispensable in furnace and oven lubrication.

Applications of Clay Base Grease

Clay base grease is used in industries where equipment is exposed to sustained high temperatures beyond the capability of soap-based greases.

Industrial Applications

• Oven and furnace bearings
• Kiln car wheels and rollers
• High-temperature conveyor systems
• Drying ovens and curing chambers
• Heat treatment equipment
• Industrial baking and processing ovens
• High-temperature fans and blowers

Its thermal stability ensures lubrication reliability in extreme heat zones.

Advantages of Clay Base Grease

Using clay base grease provides several critical advantages for high-temperature operations:

• Performs reliably at extreme temperatures
• Does not melt or leak under high heat
• Extends bearing life in oven and furnace applications
• Reduces lubrication failure due to thermal breakdown
• Minimizes downtime in heat-intensive processes
• Essential for applications beyond the limits of soap-based greases

These benefits make clay base grease a vital lubricant for thermal processing industries.

Industries Served

Palco clay base greases are widely used across industries such as:

• Steel and metal processing
• Glass and ceramic manufacturing
• Foundries and heat treatment plants
• Food processing ovens and baking units
• Cement and refractory industries
• Continuous thermal processing facilities

Their heat-resistant properties make them indispensable for extreme-temperature environments.

Choosing the Right Clay Base Grease

Selecting the correct clay base grease depends on operating temperature range, bearing speed, load conditions, and base oil selection. Since clay greases do not melt, correct oil viscosity and oxidation resistance are critical for long-term performance.

Palco’s technical team can help identify the most suitable clay base grease for your specific oven or furnace application.

Non-Soap Grease

Non-Soap Grease refers to clay-based greases formulated without metallic soap thickeners. These greases are designed for continuous high-temperature operation where soap-based greases cannot survive.

They provide stable lubrication in ovens, furnaces, and heat treatment equipment, ensuring consistent performance under prolonged heat exposure.

Oven and Furnace Grease

Oven and Furnace Grease is a specially formulated clay base grease designed specifically for bearings and moving components operating inside or near ovens and furnaces. It provides reliable lubrication under extreme temperatures, preventing seizure, excessive wear, and premature bearing failure.

This grease is commonly used in steel plants, foundries, glass manufacturing, and industrial baking operations.
