  • Publication number: 20230138681
    Abstract: A lithium complex hybrid grease is based on a lithium complex grease in combination with a PFPE grease. The lithium complex hybrid grease can be used at higher temperatures, does not form layers in the process, and exhibits a low hardening tendency. The lithium complex hybrid grease is usable in components in the automotive field and in the industrial field.
