Novatemp is designed to lubricate bushings and other sliding components at high temperatures.
At high temperatures the solids in Novatemp take over as the fluid carrier portion evaporates. Novatemp contains almost 15% lubricating solids. Long after the base oil has evaporated due to heat, the MoS2 and graphite provide a laminating film that protects sliding machine elements. Novatemp loses its “greasiness” and becomes a dry film lubricant.
Novatemp provides this extra measure of lubrication without the use of lead.
Although it has the appearance of a normal bearing grease, Novatemp is not ideal for use on precision roller or ball bearings with internal clearance C2 or CN. The high proportion of solid lubricants can be a detriment for precision bearings. For these anti-friction bearings, use Whitmore’s Matrix® high performance grease.
BENEFITS:
- HIGH TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE – fluid carrier dissipates at elevated temperatures, depositing a protective film of solid lubricants on moving parts. It protects at temperatures up to 1200°F (650°C) in the dry lubricant phase.
- ALUMINUM COMPLEX SOAP THICKENER – may be used to lubricate sliding component at normal ambient, as well as high temperatures.
- SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS – MoS2 and graphite plate out on metal surfaces, reducing metal-to-metal contact and wear.
APPLICATIONS:
Novatemp is recommended for the lubrication of bearings and bushings that operate at temperatures up to 1200°F (650°C). Typical applications include kiln car wheel bearings, oven door hinges, threaded fittings, oven conveyors and furnace bearings. Use only in bearings designed for high temperature application, with internal clearance C3 or greater.
