03Before the changeover

Check before you switch

CRC's data sheet shows a wet film with a 300°F maximum working temperature. Lubri-Gel's temperature limit is not printed in the Lubri-Loy catalog, so check the current data sheet for hot applications.

Because Lubri-Gel sets to a grease-like film, confirm compatibility with any grease already in the part before you switch.

Grease compatibility

Greases contain thickeners, and it is important to assess thickener compatibility before interchanging or mixing greases. Clean out or purge the old grease as the equipment maker recommends, and ask us if you are unsure.
