**880 CROWN & CHASSIS^® GREASE**
EXCELLENT EXTREME PRESSURE QUALITIES WATER RESISTANT ADHESIVE AND COHESIVE SAFE VERSATILE STABLE

Excellent Extreme Pressure Qualities

The crown of a drilling rig is expected to support the weight of two to three miles of drill pipe, developing critical lubrication needs at contact areas. It's especially effective for this type of high pressure application. With a Timken OK Load rating of 100 pounds minimum 880 CROWN & CHASSIS^®meets special lubrication needs, providing the ultimate in extreme pressure protection. It's excellent for use on ball joints and fifth wheels, which are constantly placed under heavy loads.

Water Resistant

Can be used in places where a standard grade grease washes off. Impervious to water, 880 CROWN & CHASSIS^® stays put. The special water-resistant qualities keeps surfaces of marine-related equipment well lubricated, avoiding rusting, corroding, and seizing.

Exceptional lubricant for use in the trenching, construction and industry, standing up to even the adverse conditions encountered with water pump bearings.

The special tackiness additives make it a highly practical grease. Its ability to stay put not only reduces grease consumption, but also provides outstanding protection against metal-to-metal contact. It clings to metal, sealing out dust, moisture, rust and corrosion. In addition to creating a dust barrier, the adhesive and cohesive qualities allow it to resist balling up in front of a bearing shaft. These traits also help lubricate the complete shaft and bearing, avoiding dry spots.

Listen to what a typical user of 880 CROWN & CHASSIS^® has to say:

"Prior to switching products we were replacing two sets of bearings every ship, at a cost of $1,500.00 each. Since we started using the grease we reduced bearing replacements to one set every six months. We average 2 ships a month, if you calculate this out we have saved $36,000 dollars. This does not even take into consideration the cost of downtime of our vessels".
Steve Dillon
Terminal Manager

Reduces downtime, reduces grease being consumed and increases equipment longevity and greasing intervals.

Safe

Is acceptable for use in enclosed systems in such facilities as federally inspected meat and poultry packing plants. Where you have people and OSHA concerns this is the grease to use.

Versatile

Will safely handle most lubrication needs, whether the surface to be lubricated turns, slides, or has an oscillating motion. It can be used for all types of bearings - ball or roller, high or low speed, sealed or opened.

Adding to its versatility, Texas Refinery Corp. blended Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) into the grease, adding extra protection by providing additional low friction, anti-stick, and non-corrosive characteristics.

It may safely be used for most applications. For consistant operating temperatures of more than 270° F., use PARAGON3000^®, LITHPLEX^®, MOLY LITHPLEX^®, HI-TEMP^® or MOLY HI-TEMP^®.

880 CROWN & CHASSIS^® is available in four NLGI Grades (weights): #00, #0, #1 and #2.

Stable

Specially treated to resist oxidation, it resists changes in consistency and quality even when stored for long periods of time. Resists separation, has controlled oil bleeding, and under most conditions does not crack, harden, or become thin.

Even under the most severe of conditions and even after extended life 880 CROWN & CHASSIS^®will not thin or thicken. It maintains it's original NGLI rating.
