The ELKALUB GLS grease portfolio is engineered to reduce friction and wear under extreme mechanical loads and vibration. Formulated with premium mineral, PAO synthetic, and polyalkylene glycol base oils, these greases utilize lithium, aluminum complex, and polyurea thickeners.

For printing press cylinder bearings and high-speed shafts, thixotropic grease GLS 135/N2 delivers smooth pumpability in centralized lubrication lines while staying in place at the contact zone.

Synthetic polyurea grease GLS 595/N2 operates continuously up to +160 °C without carbonizing or separating.

We supply GLS greases across all NLGI consistency grades from 000 fluid greases to grade 3 block greases for manual packing and automatic lubricators.
