In the realm of heavy industries, where machinery endures extreme temperatures, continuous pressure, and constant exposure to moisture, lubrication is more than a necessity, it’s the foundation of operational reliability. A single bearing failure can halt production lines, a seized joint can disrupt critical processes, and corrosion can silently eat away at productivity.
Recognizing these challenges, Paras Lubricants Limited (PALCO) has pioneered advanced lubrication solutions that stand the test of time and condition. Among them, the PALCO CSGS Series comprising PAL CSGS Grease and PAL CSGS HD Grease has proven to be the lifeline of some of the most demanding industrial applications. Trusted across steel, cement, mining, textile, and marine sectors, the CSGS Series has become synonymous with endurance, efficiency, and protection.
The Advanced Chemistry Behind PALCO CSGS
The exceptional performance of the PALCO CSGS range stems from its Calcium Sulfonate Complex Thickener System, a breakthrough formulation that surpasses conventional lithium and lithium-complex greases in stability, performance, and protection.
The calcium sulfonate complex structure forms a unique crystalline network that adheres to metal surfaces, building a tough and long-lasting lubrication film. This protective film acts as a barrier against friction, corrosion, and wear, ensuring smooth operation even under the harshest mechanical stress.
Unlike ordinary greases that depend heavily on additives for extreme pressure performance, the calcium sulfonate base in PALCO CSGS inherently offers EP, anti-wear, and anti-rust properties, ensuring consistent protection even after prolonged exposure to load and temperature fluctuations.
This chemistry allows it to perform with remarkable consistency in both dry and wet environments, maintaining its structure under shock loads, vibrations, and high rotational speeds, qualities that make it indispensable in critical industrial applications.
Withstanding Heat, Pressure, and Water, Uncompromising Performance
Industries such as steel, cement, and marine manufacturing expose lubricants to demanding conditions, heat from continuous operation, water from processing environments, and mechanical stress from heavy-duty loads. PALCO CSGS Grease is designed to thrive in these extremes.
Its high dropping point allows it to function effectively at elevated temperatures exceeding 250°C, ensuring the grease neither melts nor loses its film-forming ability. It also exhibits exceptional water washout resistance, retaining its structure and lubricating capacity even when exposed to steam, coolant water, or saline spray.
The result is a grease that remains stable, consistent, and effective over long lubrication intervals, providing extended relubrication cycles that reduce maintenance frequency, save costs, and enhance uptime.
Natural Rust Protection in Humid and Saline Environments
Where moisture and salt content are constant threat such as in marine, textile, and coastal industries, corrosion is a persistent challenge. PALCO CSGS Grease combats this with its built-in rust and oxidation inhibition properties.
The calcium sulfonate complex acts as a natural detergent and protective agent, forming a microscopic film that prevents oxidation, rusting, and pitting on metal surfaces. Even in highly humid or salt-laden environments, it offers long-term corrosion protection without degradation.
This makes it especially valuable for marine equipment, ship deck machinery, offshore cranes, textile spindles, and steel plant bearings, where moisture and air exposure are inevitable. By safeguarding machinery against rust, PALCO CSGS not only extends component life but also ensures reliability even during extended shutdowns or idle periods.
Industry-Wide Reliability, A Grease That Performs Everywhere
Every sector demands a different type of endurance, yet PALCO CSGS delivers across all with equal reliability.
In steel plants, where bearings and roll necks face intense heat and water during casting and cooling operations, PALCO CSGS HD Grease provides stable lubrication and rust-free performance without loss of consistency.
In cement and mining industries, where crushers, conveyors, and heavy rotary machinery operate under dust and vibration, the grease’s high load-carrying capacity and film strength prevent wear and maintain machine integrity.
For the textile industry, which relies on precise, clean lubrication, PALCO CSGS ensures smooth spindle operation and stability without bleeding or staining, while reducing bearing wear.
In marine and offshore environments, where constant contact with saltwater and air poses extreme corrosion risks, the grease forms a reliable shield, ensuring operational safety of deck machinery, winches, and wire ropes.
And in paper mills, particularly the wet and dry end roll bearings exposed to steam and continuous moisture, PALCO CSGS HD Grease provides unmatched water washout resistance, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Introducing PAL CSGS HD – The Heavy-Duty Evolution
For applications where the environment is even more demanding, involving continuous high temperatures, heavy shock loads, and water ingress, PALCO developed PAL CSGS HD Grease.
Like its counterpart, it is a calcium sulfonate complex grease, but with an enhanced structure that delivers greater shear stability, superior saltwater resistance, and longer re-lubrication life.
It forms a dense lubrication film that does not break down or harden, even under prolonged stress. PAL CSGS HD is particularly suited for:
- Continuous castor units in steel plants
- Bearings and joints in cement and mining machinery
- Marine and offshore equipment exposed to constant moisture
- Wet and dry end roll bearings in paper mills
By maintaining its integrity under constant heat and load, PAL CSGS HD ensures the highest degree of protection and performance in critical applications where reliability cannot be compromised.
Reducing Downtime and Total Cost of Ownership
In industrial environments, the cost of lubrication failure far exceeds the price of grease. Machine downtime, component replacements, and production losses can accumulate rapidly. The PALCO CSGS Series is engineered to mitigate these challenges.
By providing longer relubrication intervals, reducing wear, and protecting against rust and water damage, PALCO CSGS significantly lowers maintenance frequency and labor costs. Its high film strength and oxidation stability minimize frictional losses, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced operating temperatures.
The combined effect is a measurable reduction in total cost of ownership, improved machine uptime, and optimized long-term performance.
