Grease lubricants typically consist of three primary components: base oil, thickener, and additives. Base oils can be mineral, synthetic, or vegetable-based, providing the primary lubrication properties. Thickening agents, such as lithium, calcium, or aluminum soaps, give grease its semi-solid consistency. Additives are incorporated to enhance specific properties, such as oxidation resistance, anti-wear characteristics, or corrosion protection. The combination of these components determines the performance and suitability of the grease for various applications.
