Environmentally Friendly, Water-Resistant Chuck Grease



Dillon Chucks and Jaws HPG500 premium boundary lubricant is now available in convenient kit form. Each kit contains two tubes of this water-resistant, environmentally friendly grease that prevents metal-to-metal contact under high load and slow speed conditions, along with a grease adaptor and a grease gun to provide out-of-the-box functionality.

"This premium, high-performance NLDI Grade 2 lubricating grease has exceptional mechanical stability, very high load carrying capacity and excellent water and moisture resistance, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from high-end manual chucks to power chucks," said a company spokesperson. "Its unique formulation gives it outstanding rust and corrosion resistance, even in the presence of a synthetic and oil-based coolant. With a water washout rating of less than 3% it is one of the most water-resistant products available. Dillon HPG500 handles high loads and provides long term corrosion protection under the most hostile conditions. Essential for the safe operation and maintaining maximum gripping pressure of chucks, HPG500 is also available in 14 oz tubes which can be purchased individually, or in cases of 10 or 50 each."

There are no heavy metals or other environmentally undesirable materials, such as compounds containing antimony, barium, lead, chlorine, phenols or phosphorus used, so the formulation is environmentally friendly. This lithium-free formula does not react negatively when contacting the water contained in water-based coolants, as opposed to lubricants with lithium that cause lithium build-up on the internal workings of the chuck.

An all-purpose industrial lubricant, HPG500 can be used in bearings, bushings, slides, pivots, tracks, etc.- all important engineering components of manual and power chucks. It is recommended wherever high lubricity, Extreme Pressure (EP) properties, mechanical stability, rust and corrosion protection, water washout protection and good oxidation stability are required. HPG500 is also safe to use in machine centers that require EPI grease.
