Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant (4622)

High-Quality Grease Offers Versatile EP Performance

Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant (4622) is a highly versatile, long-

life, lithium-complex-thickened grease designed for extreme
pressure performance and extended relubrication intervals in
a variety of industrial, marine, farm and fleet applications. It
contains Monolec®, LE’s proprietary wear-reducing additive,
and provides dependable performance in a broad operating
temperature range in critical grease points including chassis
and wheel bearings. Its versatility makes it possible to
consolidate the number of greases used, especially helpful
aboard a marine vessel.

 Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant
Demonstrates Excellent Low-Temp
Pumpability in US Steel Grease Mobility Test
The US Steel Grease Mobility Test measures the resistance of grease flow at prescribed temperature and pressure,
thereby predicting pumpability characteristics of lubricants under low-temperature operating conditions.

The sample is placed in the pressure cylinder and cold soaked to the prescribed temperature. The flow of grease is
started under the selected pressure (usually 150 psi). After the initial flow, sufficient grease is collected to calculate
the flow rate in grams of grease per second during a measured amount of time. The higher the flow rate in grams per
second, the better the predicted pumpability of the grease.
