Put simply, the oil is the main dynamic lubricator; the thickener determines the physical characteristics of the product; and additives enhance the operating properties of the grease.

Lithium is a type of thickener; so not only provides structure to hold the oil in place, but it also acts as a sponge by releasing small amounts of oil during operation.

There are several different types of thickener depending on application requirements and factors; such as moisture levels, extremes of temperature and speed.

However, for many applications that are deemed non-extreme or general purpose in nature, Lithium is a popular choice

The benefits of White Lithium Grease:

• Thick lithium grease solution provides – great long-term lubrication
• High viscosity formula – won’t drip or run
• Works well under pressure – ideal for load bearing connections
• Reduces friction and wear
• Perfect for metal-to-metal applications
• Water and heat resistant – great for outdoor use

WD-40 thick High-Performance White Lithium Grease lubricant provides great protection for heavy duty, metal-to-metal applications. It can be used outdoors regardless of weather and temperature conditions.

The high viscosity water-resistant formula won’t drip or run, remaining where it’s applied through all weathers, and through temperatures from -18°C to +145°C

This makes it ideal for use on automotive connections, tow bars, gear and brake mechanisms and CV joints.

WD-40 High-Performance White Lithium Grease lubricant is also great for use on gardening tools; keeping them in good working order through the seasons with minimal maintenance. Use WD-40 White Lithium Grease to keep components moving smoothly and free of friction and seizing, as well as preventatively to protect against rust and corrosion.

Use White Lithium Grease for:

• Motor pivot points
• Bearings
• Winches
• Pistons
• Conveyors
• Tracks and runners
• Cables and chains
• Water pumps
• Gear and brake mechanisms
• Latches and hinges
• Gardening tools
• Tow bars for trailers/caravans
