Common questions about 357-2 Armor Plate Grease with Moly-D / NLGI #2
-
What is Primrose 357 Armor Plate grease used for?
Primrose 357-2 Armor Plate with Moly-D, the No. 2 grade of 357 Armor Plate Magnum, is an extreme pressure grease recommended for heavy duty multipurpose applications such as ball joints, king pins, fifth wheels, wheel bearings, ball and roller bearings, sleeve bearings, pillow blocks, cranes and drag lines. Primrose lists farms, construction companies, drilling rigs, mines, steel mills and barges among its applications.
-
What NLGI grade is 357 Armor Plate grease?
Primrose 357-2 Armor Plate with Moly-D, the version ASJ Products supplies, is an NLGI No. 2 grease, which Primrose describes as a medium consistency (worked penetration 265 to 295, ASTM D217). Primrose also lists an NLGI No. 1 grade of 357 Armor Plate Magnum and says other Armor Plate with Moly-D greases are available where other grades are required.
-
Does 357 Armor Plate grease hold up to high heat and water?
Yes, Primrose 357-2 Armor Plate with Moly-D is a non-melt grease for very high temperature operation (no dropping point in ASTM D2265 testing), and Primrose rates its water resistance as excellent. It uses a heat resistant organo-clay thickener, resists water washout and spray-off, and is very tacky, so it sticks to the parts being lubricated. Its TDS does not publish a maximum operating temperature.
-
What is Moly-D in 357 Armor Plate grease?
Moly-D is the moly compound in Primrose 357-2 Armor Plate grease, rather than the black solid form of moly, molybdenum disulfide. Primrose describes 357 as a rich green moly grease.
-
What is the difference between 357 and 327 Armor Plate grease?
Primrose 357-2 and 327-2 Armor Plate with Moly-D list identical NLGI No. 2 typical specs on their TDSs, but Primrose describes their consistency differently. The 357 TDS calls 357-2 a medium No. 2 that still retains excellent pumpability at sub-freezing temperatures, while the 327 TDS calls 327-2 relatively heavy and points to the softer 327-1 for subfreezing pumpability. Neither TDS gives a minimum pumping temperature.
