In summer, customers often find a current situation. When they open the bucket filled with lubricating grease, they find that there is a layer of oily liquid like water in the concave-convex position of the surface. What is the situation? YesOil separation of lubricating greaseNow, let's talk about the occurrence of this situation in detail and how to deal with the method to solve this phenomenon.

1. what is oil separation? Why does oil separation occur? Does oil separation affect the quality of grease?

Grease is a kind of colloid. If it is uneven, the grease will seep from the bottom. This is called oil separation, also called oil extraction. Oil separation occurs when grease is stored (I. e. there is a layer of oil floating on the surface of grease, such as oil accumulated in pits on the surface of grease in the barrel.
Due to the influence of temperature, the oil is separated from the grease, and the oil separation is more likely to occur if it is stored for too long in hot areas. After the grease is separated, it has different effects on the quality according to the degree of oil separation. Trace oil has little effect on quality. However, the grease after oil separation should not be stored for a long time to avoid a large amount of oil separation. After a large amount of oil separation, the quality changes significantly, which is disadvantageous to the use. As the ratio between thickener and base oil changes, changes in consistency, relative viscosity, etc. The use of oil and grease has a great relationship. When grease is used in mechanical parts, a small amount of oil is beneficial. The separated oil can play a lubricating role.

Does the quality of 2. grease be affected by oil separation during storage? What is the relationship between oil separation and grease use?

Grease in the storage will appear oil phenomenon, such as in the barrel grease surface pits at the accumulation of lubricating oil, in the hot area of storage for too long more prone to oil. After the grease is separated, it has different effects on the quality according to the degree of oil separation. Trace oil has little effect on quality. However, the grease after oil separation should not be released for a long time to avoid a large amount of oil. After a large amount of oil separation, the quality changes significantly, which is disadvantageous to the use. As the ratio between thickener and base oil changes, a corresponding change in consistency, similar viscosity, etc.

The use of oil and grease has a great relationship. When grease is used in mechanical parts, a small amount of oil is beneficial. The separated oil can play a lubricating role. At this time, we just stir it evenly.Therefore, when the grease is separated, it does not necessarily affect the quality of the grease. A small amount of oil separation can help our equipment lubrication. If there is continuous oil distribution, we should pay attention to it. At this time, we should communicate with the salesman and understand the situation in time.
