Compatibility of lubricating greases: what are the risks of mixing them?
In industrial maintenance, selecting the right grease is key to ensuring the reliability and service life of equipment. However, mixing different lubricating greases can lead to incompatibilities that directly affect performance:
- Oil separation
- Softening or hardening
- Increased temperature
- Premature wear of components
The reliable way to determine the compatibility of lubricating greases is through the ASTM D6185 test, which simulates different mixing scenarios and evaluates their thermal, shear and storage stability.
At Antala, we help you safely manage the change of lubricating greases in your equipment, minimising risks and ensuring maximum efficiency.
