Kluber Syntheso GLEP 1 High-Performance EP Lubricating Grease 1kg
Technical Information
Kluber Syntheso GLEP 1 is a special lubricating grease based on polyglycol oil (PAG) and a special lithium soap thickener.[1] Its advanced formulation includes Extreme Pressure (EP) additives, providing robust protection against wear even under high loads.[2] This grease is designed to operate across a wide service temperature range and exhibits excellent adhesion and resistance to water.[3][4] A key technical feature is its neutral behavior towards many elastomers, most notably EPDM, and various plastics, making it a superior choice for components involving sensitive materials.[3][5]
Application Scenarios
This grease is exceptionally versatile, designed for metal-to-metal, elastomer-to-metal, and plastic-to-metal sliding pairings.[2][6] It is extensively used in the automotive industry as an assembly and lifetime lubricant.[5][7] Common applications include:
Brake Systems: Ideal for guide pins, bolts, and protecting brake pad supports in disc brake calipers.[5][8] Its compatibility with EPDM seals and brake fluids makes it a reliable choice over standard silicone greases.[5][6]
Gears and Bearings: Provides long-term lubrication for plain bearings, small gears, and joints requiring high load-carrying capacity.[7]
Clutch Systems: Used in clutch master and slave cylinders for smooth linear motion.[8][9]
Other Components: Suitable for seals on steering columns and reducing noise in elastic axle bearings.[4][5]
Performance
Kluber Syntheso GLEP 1 delivers superior performance through its carefully balanced properties. The EP additives ensure efficient wear protection, extending the service life of critical components.[2] Its excellent compatibility with EPDM elastomers prevents seal swelling or degradation, ensuring long-term performance in braking and sealing applications.[3] The grease provides strong adhesion to surfaces and is resistant to water washout, maintaining a reliable lubricating film in demanding conditions.[4] This combination of features reduces friction and wear, facilitates easier assembly, and ensures reliable, long-term lubrication.Kluber Syntheso GLEP 1EP lubricating greaseEPDM compatible grease
