Crc Industries SL3640 Extreme Pressure Lithium Complex Grease

Product Description

The CRC INDUSTRIES SL3640 is an NLGI 2 lithium complex grease formulated for extreme pressure and severe duty applications. Known as Driller Red Grease, this product is engineered to reduce wear and protect metal surfaces under heavy loads, with a Timken load rating of 80 pounds. The red-pigmented formula uses a lithium complex thickener to deliver mechanical stability across a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions. It is applied by licensed lubrication technicians, equipment service professionals, and maintenance crews in industrial, mining, drilling, and construction settings.

This grease is suited for heavy equipment and industrial machinery operating in demanding environments. Typical applications include drilling rigs, mining equipment, and construction machinery where bearing and joint surfaces face continuous high-load stress. It performs in both rotating and oscillating contact points, making it a practical choice for facilities maintenance programs and field service operations that require a single grease product across multiple equipment types.

Key Features

• NLGI 2 consistency for use in standard grease fittings and cartridge guns
• Timken load rating of 80 pounds, indicating strong extreme pressure performance
• Lithium complex thickener provides mechanical and thermal stability
• Suitable for severe duty drilling, mining, industrial, and construction equipment
• Compatible with a broad range of bearing and joint types including wheel bearings, U-joints, and pillow block bearings
• 14 oz cartridge format fits standard grease guns used in the field

Compatibility

Designed for use on backing plates, ball joints, chassis points, construction ball roller bearings, idler bearings, pillow block bearings, sprocket bearings, U-joints, water pumps, and wheel bearings across drilling, mining, industrial, and construction applications.

Installation Notes

Applied by lubrication technicians and equipment maintenance professionals using a standard cartridge grease gun. Before re-greasing any fitting, wipe the zerk fitting clean to prevent contamination from entering the bearing cavity. For sealed or shielded bearings, consult the OEM service manual to confirm the bearing is serviceable before applying grease. Avoid overpacking, as excess grease can generate heat buildup and accelerate bearing wear.
