Here's a report of our own experience with lithium-base grease under extreme industrial service condi­tions. Approximately 95% of the grease used in the plant of AMERICAN LITHIUM CHEMICALS, Inc., our subsidiary at San Antonio, Texas, is lithium-base, one-type grease. In fourteen months operation we have not been able to trace a single cause for bearing failure to the lubricant used. The on-the-spot photos

above give graphic evidence of the rugged bearing service requirements in this plant where lithium ores are processed into high-grade lithium hydroxide, itself an important ingredient in lithium-base grease. Performance like this is why grease chemists, manu­facturers, marketers and users all attest to the superi­ority of lithium-base . . . the one grease in place of many for efficient and economical operation.
