Nano-Ceramic Grease Extends Maintenance Intervals



DAYLube high performance nano-ceramic grease is designed to maintain its original viscosity and adhesion even after 100,000 production strokes - significantly extending service intervals for all types of production equipment, according to the company.

Nano-ceramic particles act as sub-microscopic ball bearings to provide continuous lubrication to steel surfaces. "With a lower coefficient of friction at all temperatures than traditional PTFE greases, chemically inert DAYLube is also environmentally friendly," said a company spokesperson. "It maintains its viscosity across full temperature range and is NSF-H1 Food Grade Certified. DAYLube provides enhanced friction reduction and wear resistance, making it useful for a range of industrial applications such as the protection of bearings, bushings cables, cams, chains, conveyors, gears, lifters, machine parts, robotics, slides, wear plates and more."

DAYLube operates in temperature ranges from -40°F to 800°F and the nanoceramic particles remain intact to 2,500°F. According to the company, it survived the ASTME 4-ball weld test with no weld and minimal damage to all ball bearings. "Competitive brands, on the other hand, produced a soft weld after two seconds and complete failure and major damage to all bearings," said the spokesperson.

DAYLube has high load-bearing properties, a low dielectric constant, does not contain metal or silicone and is resistant to steam, acids and most chemical products.

DAYLube is available in 16-ounce tubes and 16-ounce jars, as well as 1-gallon and 5-gallon pails.
