Description
SYNTHESO GLEP 1 is a special
lubricant for a wide variety of applications with an almost neutral behavior towards many elastomers
(including EPDM) and plastics (except PC and ABS).*
SYNTHESO GLEP 1 can be used in
a wide service temperature range
and offers efficient protection against
wear, good adhesion and resistance
to water.
Application
SYNTHESO GLEP has been designed for the lubrication of
metal – metal;
elastomer – metal
plastic - metal
plastic - plastic
sliding material combinations.
The product is typically used in the
automotive industry as assembly
grease for plain bearings, e.g. in
brake and clutch systems for linear
motion in contact with brake fluids
DOT 3, 4 and 5.1.
Application examples: guide bushes
and bolts, EPDM and SBR seals,
clutch master and slave cylinders,
corrosion protection of brake pad
supports in disc brake calipers,
brake boosters and noise reduction
in elastic axle bearings, seals of
steering columns. In such applications, SYNTHESO GLEP 1 facilitates assembly and provides reliable
lubrication.
Due to its good resistance to EPDM
elastomers, SYNTHESO GLEP 1 is
mainly used in car brakes as it offers
good advantages versus silicone
greases, like better load-carrying
capacity, good adhesion and compatibility with electric contacts.
Application notes
SYNTHESO GLEP 1 can be applied
by brush, spatula, grease gun or the
usual central lubrication systems.
We do not recommend using
SYNTHESO GLEP 1 in context with
aluminum or aluminum alloys under
dynamically high load conditions.
Owing to the many different elastomer and plastic compositions we
recommend checking their compatibility prior to series application.
