Versatile Wear-Reducing Grease Protects Equipment from Moisture & Heat

A general purpose extreme pressure grease for heavy industrial use, Almaplex Industrial Lubricant is extremely versatile, minimizing inventory requirements and misapplication because it works in many different applications. It is especially effective in severe operations caused by moisture or high temperatures. Its robust aluminum complex formulation seals out water and other contaminants that can wreak havoc on the long-term life of equipment.

Almaplex Industrial Lubricant protects against oxidation, rust and corrosion, and its exceptional wear reduction has led LE customers worldwide to redefine “normal” or “expected” equipment life. With longer bearing life, fewer repairs, less downtime and lower lubricant consumption, switching to Almaplex has helped many companies lower their maintenance costs.

Proprietary Additives

 N/A LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almaplex Industrial Lubricant contains Almasol.

Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,038°C(1,900°F). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.
