Grease and oil compatibility table
Entry 394820
This compatibility table provides guidance on whether different Interflon greases and base oils can be safely mixed. It covers a wide range of thickener types, including lithium-complex, calcium-sulfonate, aluminium-complex, as well as various mineral and synthetic base oils.
A green check mark (✓) indicates compatibility, while others may require further testing or are not recommended for mixing.
The table also outlines important conditions under which metal soap thickeners can be safely combined:
- Base oils must be compatible
- Operating temperatures are below 100°C
- Applications must be open so grease can be purged out.
If these conditions aren’t met, mixing is strongly discouraged. This tool is especially useful for maintenance professionals and engineers aiming to avoid lubrication failures due to grease incompatibility.
