Technical Data Sheet
Typical technical characteristics and operating guidance for Graphite Grease BG600.
| Property | Test Method | Typical Value |
|---|---|---|
| NLGI Grade | ASTM D217 | 1/2 |
| Graphite Content | — | ~10% |
| Base Oil Viscosity @ 40°C | ASTM D445 | ~680 cSt |
| Operating Temperature | — | -30°C to +230°C (base oil lubrication) / -30°C to +600°C (solid graphite dry film) |
| Dropping Point | ASTM D2265 | >280°C |
| Four-Ball Weld Load | ASTM D2596 | >450 kgf |
| Timken OK Load | ASTM D2509 | >70 lbs |

Above 230°C the base oil progressively evaporates; the graphite solid film provides continuous lubrication up to 600°C.
Operating Parameters
Temperature Range
-30°C to +600°C continuous (dry film regime above 230°C)
Base Oil Viscosity @ 40°C
~680 cSt
Service Life
Condition dependent
Above 230°C the base oil progressively evaporates and the graphite solid lubricant film takes over, providing continuous lubrication up to 600°C. This two-stage mechanism is what enables BG600 to operate beyond the limits of conventional grease.
Frequently Asked Question
How does BG600 provide lubrication at 600°C when most greases fail?
BG600 uses a two-stage mechanism. Below 230°C, the base oil provides conventional lubrication. Above 230°C, the base oil gradually evaporates and the graphite solid film carries the load, delivering continuous lubrication up to 600°C.
Consistent Performance
Formulations are developed for stable viscosity, wear protection and contamination control across the stated operating range.
Optimized Formulation
Engineered for stable film strength and anti-wear performance, supporting longer service intervals where operating conditions and oil analysis allow.
Quality Assured
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management system with full batch traceability and certificate of analysis.
Application Guide
Step-by-step instructions for optimal use of Graphite Grease BG600 in Mining applications.
Preparation
Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Remove any existing lubricant residues using appropriate cleaning agents. For Large open gears applications, verify equipment is at operating temperature.
Application Method
Apply Graphite Grease BG600 using standard industrial equipment. For grease products, use automatic lubrication systems or manual grease guns. For liquid lubricants, ensure proper filling procedures and avoid contamination during transfer.
Recommended Dosage
Follow OEM recommendations for fill quantities. For Mining applications, typical re-lubrication intervals range from 1,000 to 5,000 operating hours depending on conditions. Monitor performance and adjust intervals based on actual operating parameters.
Performance Monitoring
Regularly inspect lubricant condition and equipment performance. Check for signs of degradation, contamination, or unusual wear. Schedule oil analysis every 6 months for critical applications to optimize maintenance intervals.
Storage Recommendations
- Store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 35°C
- Keep containers sealed when not in use
- Avoid direct sunlight and moisture exposure
- Shelf life: 5 years from manufacture date when stored properly
Safety Information
- Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use
- Use appropriate PPE: gloves and safety glasses
- Ensure adequate ventilation in application area
- Dispose of used lubricant according to local regulations
