FOX-OIL BENTONITE CLAY GREASE

Clay greases are based on an inorganic, non-melting 
clay-derived thickener technology that enables the 
development of finished products that offer excellent 
thermal stability in combination with reduced oil 
separation properties.
Consequently, lubricating greases based on Clay
technology tend to target more niche applications such 
as plain or rolling element bearings where operating 
temperatures are continually and excessively high or 
where its ability to retain oil is viewed as a benefit at 
more ambient temperatures.
More specifically, applications may include soot blower 
bearings within industrial exhaust systems, high speed 
fan bearings in ovens and furnaces or as a protective 
dressing for wire ropes and overhead cables.

Key Performance Aspects

Sugar cane mills
– Mill roller journal bearings
– Mill roller pinion gears

Applications

• Adhesive properties • Stays in place and enables increased regreasing intervals Good
• High temperature performance • Resistance against thermal and oxidative degradation Very Good
• Low temperature performance • Maintains lubricity and flow properties at low 
temperatures Very Good
• Structural stability • Resistance to shear and vibrational degradation, 
reducing the need for grease relubrication -
• Versatility • Suitable for a wide range of applications Good
• Water resistance • Maintains functionality under wet conditions -
• Wide temperature range • Maintains lubrication at different temperatures Very Good
