Almatek® General Purpose Lubricant


(1233 & 1235)
Versatile Grease Protects in Harsh Operating Environments

Almatek® General Purpose Lubricant is a technologically advanced


lubricant designed to withstand shock loading, pound-out and water
washout in friction and anti-friction bearings, chassis points and
other grease-lubricated applications. This versatile, tacky grease is
specially formulated to give superior protection and long service
life in a wide variety of applications in construction, marine, mining,
industrial, transport, farm and other heavy-duty equipment.
