JetLube JET-RED Premium Multipurpose Grease: How Lithium Complex EP Grease Handles Extreme Heat and Heavy Loads

JetLube JET-RED Premium Multipurpose Grease is a lithium complex EP grease built on a 220 cSt base oil (ASTM D445, 40°C) and available in four NLGI grades — EP 00, EP 0, EP 1, and EP 2 — engineered to answer the toughest question in lubrication: how JetLube JET-RED lithium complex grease handles extreme heat and heavy loads in oil drilling, mining, construction, and shipbuilding operations. Four-Ball Weld Point: 500 kgf across every grade. That ASTM D2596 number puts JET-RED firmly in the extreme-pressure category for any lithium complex EP grease guide. Four-Ball Wear scar is 0.6 mm for EP 00 and EP 0, tightening to 0.55 mm for EP 1 and EP 2 (ASTM D2266). DN speed capability reaches 200,000, covering fans, blowers, pumps, conveyor bearings, ball bearings, roller bearings, screw jacks, and universal joints. High film strength and tacky adhesion to metal surfaces resist lubricant displacement under vibration and centrifugal force — critical for multipurpose grease in oil drilling and mining. Dropping points that outlast conventional lithium greases. EP 2 hits 500°F (260°C); EP 1 reaches 450°F (232°C); EP 0 reaches 400°F (204°C). Flash point exceeds 430°F (221°C) for all grades (ASTM D92). For high dropping point grease bearings in sustained-heat environments — think conveyor drive trains on a mine site or pump bearings on a drilling rig — that thermal headroom is the deciding factor. Oil separation for EP 2 is just 1% (ASTM D6184) versus 12% for EP 1, meaning the EP 2 thickener matrix holds base oil in place through thermal cycling in bearing sumps.

NLGI grade selection for extreme temperatures starts at the low end: EP 00 (cone penetration 400–430, ASTM D217) pumps down to -30°F (-34°C) and doubles as a semi-fluid fill for leaky gearboxes. EP 0 (cone penetration 355–385) handles -20°F (-29°C). When specifying how to select grease for cold weather equipment, drop one NLGI grade for every significant reduction in ambient start-up temperature. EP 2 (cone penetration 265–295) is rated from 0°F (-18°C) up to 400°F (204°C) — the widest service window in the family. EP grease water washout resistance and corrosion protection. EP 2 water washout loss is 5%; EP 1 is 13% (ASTM D1264). Both grades pass ASTM D1743 rust prevention testing, and all grades carry a 1A copper corrosion rating (ASTM D4048). That combination makes JET-RED viable for shipbuilding, coastal infrastructure, and any wet or outdoor application where EP grease water washout resistance and rust control are non-negotiable. Wholesale orders scale from a single spare to a fleet rollout — browse the full JetLube brand catalog at https://www.pe-energy.com/brand/jet-lube/ Consolidate your grease inventory. One red, smooth, tacky product covers bearings, anti-friction bearings, journals, drive trains, and general greasing points across oil drilling rigs, construction and road building machinery, mining operations, and shipbuilding environments. All four grades share the same 220 cSt base oil, 500 kgf weld point, flash point above 430°F, and ASTM D1743 rust-prevention pass — so your RFPs can reference a single product family regardless of NLGI grade.
