The additives used in the oil portion of the grease improve the natural characteristics and provide new, desirable characteristics. Greases typically contain extreme pressure compounds (EP), anti-wear additives, anti-corrosion packages and teckifiers.<\/p>\n<h4>Why MICSA Grease<\/h4>\n<p>Quite simply MICSA GREASE has the ability to last longer than other greases. Since one of the Monomer blends in the MICSA\u00ae metal conditioner (polytetrafluorethylene) contained in MICSA GREASE provides most of the lubrication, the grease itself does less actual work. The great reduction in internal friction, heat and wear means the grease maintains its original chemical and physical properties longer. Since the grease does not degrade as rapidly, it does not need to be replaced as frequently.<\/p>\n<h4>Technical Formulation<\/h4>\n<p>Some of the best greases in the world contain advanced anti-wear agents, top quality polymers, high-viscosity base oils, lithium-complex soap thickeners and natural rust inhibitors. What sets MICSA GREASES apart is that in addition to these top class ingredients MICSA adds the substance with the lowest co-efficient known to man Polytetrafluorethylene (P.T.F.E.) which is unique in its ability to form a physical and chemical bond within all metal surfaces, thereby educing internal friction, heat and wear. Where other greases fail MICSA GREASE due to its effectual parameters provides lubrication in extreme and exceptional circumstances.\u00a0 The MICSA Homopolymer components including\u00a0polytetrafluorethylene in the grease will migrate in the base grease to the metal surface and chemically bond by becoming part of the metal.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"e42ca8e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"working_cat\" href='https:\/\/www.micsa-sa.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/working_cat.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micsa-sa.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/working_cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"e42ca8e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"dirt\" href='https:\/\/www.micsa-sa.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dirt.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micsa-sa.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dirt.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h4>Effectual Properties<\/h4>\n<p>Where other greases fail MICSA GREASE due to its effectual parameters provides lubrication in extreme and exceptional circumstances. The MICSA P.T.F.E. component in the grease will migrate in the base grease to the metal surface and chemically bond by becoming part of the metal. The result is constant molecularly bonded lubrication throughout the entire greased mechanical component, even if the grease is misplaced, worn or lost.<\/p>\n<h4>Adaptability<\/h4>\n<p>MICSA GREASES are exceptionally versatile and adaptable. It can perform in varied adaptations from heavy duty high performance applications such as CV joints, pin &amp; bush to water resistant, high temperature wheel bearings and low load, low temperature applications such as sliding surfaces, guides gears and chains.<\/p>\n<h4>Cost Savings<\/h4>\n<p>Due to the revolutionary inclusion of polytetrafluorethylene in MICSA GREASE, the product simply outperforms all other greases by extending equipment life, reducing downtime, improves efficiency and protects against unscheduled maintenance. MICSA GREASE will improve your profit margins by reducing maintenance costs, lowering energy usage, and dropping capital equipment replacement.<\/p>\n<h4>MICSA Grease Applications<\/h4>\n<p>Every Industrial Application, including drilling equipment, rock crushers, lumber mills, gravel and sand screens, conveyor belts, marine equipment etc.\u00a0 Every Fleet and Automotive application, including all, chassis, high-temp disc brake, CV and Universal joints, steering gear, fifth wheel, water pumps etc.\u00a0 Every Agricultural, logging, mining, construction and technical application where maximum protection against extreme conditions is required etc.<\/p>\n<h4>Viscosity<\/h4>\n<p>A vital characteristic of oil is its viscosity. For grease, viscosity is equivalent to hardness, which is determined by measuring with a penetrometer. This apparatus drops a weighted cone into a prepared sample of grease with the depth of cone penetration measuring its hardness or NLGI grade.<\/p>\n<h4>Oil Separation<\/h4>\n<p>Also called bleeding, oil separation is often a concern to maintenance personnel. Separation is usually noticed when oil forms on the surface of the grease in storage. Slight bleeding is regarded by some as desirable characteristics for enhanced lubricating ability, specifically in roller element bearings. MICSA assists in stabilizing this factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrevent Rust and Oxidation\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtends Lubricating
