When it comes to maintaining machinery in high-heat environments, using the right lubricant is crucial. High-temperature grease is essential for ensuring equipment can operate smoothly and reliably under intense conditions. Sigma Lubricants specializes in premium high-temperature grease designed for demanding industrial and automotive applications. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of high-temperature grease, the unique formulation of Sigma Lubricants products, and how choosing the right lubricant can enhance equipment performance and longevity.
What is High-Temperature Grease?
High-temperature grease is a specialized lubricant formulated to withstand elevated temperatures without losing its lubricating properties. Standard greases tend to break down under intense heat, leading to metal-to-metal contact, increased friction, and equipment wear. High-temperature grease contains additives that ensure it maintains its consistency and protective qualities, even in extreme conditions.
Industries like manufacturing, automotive, and construction use high-temperature grease to ensure reliable operation of their machinery. Sigma Lubricants provides a variety of greases to suit different requirements, allowing companies to protect their equipment and improve productivity.

Key Benefits of High-Temperature Grease
High-temperature grease offers several unique advantages for industrial applications:
Enhanced Heat Resistance: Withstanding up to 250°C or higher, it prevents grease breakdown, ensuring stable lubrication.
Extended Equipment Life: Reduces friction and prevents wear, prolonging the service life of critical equipment components.
Improved Safety: Reliable lubrication prevents overheating and unexpected breakdowns, reducing safety risks.
Reduced Downtime: High-temperature grease minimizes equipment shutdowns for maintenance, boosting overall productivity.

Types of High-Temperature Grease Offered by Sigma Lubricants
Sigma Lubricants provides various high-temperature greases, each suited to specific operational needs. Here’s a breakdown of our most popular types:
1. Lithium Complex Grease
Ideal for heavy-duty applications, this grease offers high resistance to temperature, water, and oxidation, making it perfect for industrial machinery and automotive applications.
2. Polyurea Grease
Polyurea-based greases are known for excellent oxidation stability, making them ideal for high-speed and high-temperature applications such as electric motors.
3. Calcium Sulfonate Grease
Offering superior thermal stability and corrosion resistance, calcium sulfonate grease is suitable for marine, off-road, and heavy equipment applications where high temperatures and heavy loads are a concern.
4. PTFE Grease
PTFE grease, also known as Teflon grease, offers excellent lubrication with a low coefficient of friction. Resistant to chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures, it is commonly used alongside anti-seize paste for smooth operation and extended equipment life.
5. Molybdenum/Graphite based grease
This grease, enriched with molybdenum disulfide and graphite, excels under extreme pressures and high temperatures. Often paired with anti-seize paste, it provides superior wear protection in heavy-duty machinery.
6. Non melting greases
Non-melting greases maintain their structure even under extreme heat, making them ideal for ovens, kilns, and high-temperature machinery. They are frequently used with anti-seize paste for added thermal stability and performance.
7. Synthetic greases
Synthetic greases are engineered to resist oxidation, temperature extremes, and harsh environments. Combined with anti-seize paste, they ensure precision performance and extended lubrication intervals in demanding applications.

Understanding How High-Temperature Grease Works
High-temperature grease typically consists of base oils with high viscosity and special thickeners like lithium complex or calcium sulfonate, which help it remain stable under thermal stress. High-temperature grease also includes performance additives such as anti-wear agents and corrosion inhibitors to protect machinery against wear and environmental factors. The grease’s consistency helps distribute heat evenly across components, preventing hotspots and ensuring smooth operation.
Factors to Consider When Choosing High-Temperature Grease
When selecting high-temperature grease, there are several factors to consider:
Temperature Range: Ensure the grease can withstand the highest temperatures your machinery might encounter.
Load Requirements: For high-load applications, choose a grease with extreme pressure (EP) additives.
Water Resistance: If machinery operates in wet environments, a water-resistant grease will offer better performance.
Relubrication Frequency: If equipment requires minimal access for relubrication, choose a long-lasting grease.
