Applications

JET-LUBE´s AP-5 is a black, smooth, non-melting, water resistant grease. It contains molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to yield high film strength with low coefficient of friction. Resists fretting corrosion. Suitable for use in plain and anti-friction ball and roller bearings. Provides heavy-duty protection for such heavy-industry equipment as kiln bearings, crushers, crane
ladles, press and hammer guides and lift-bridge pin bearings. AP-5 is recommended for high temperature blowers, fans and oven conveyors. It is also approved for certain oilfield
connection lubrication.
