Eco-safe lubricant
Terresolve Technology launched a reformulated EnviroLogic 802, a biodegradable lithium complex grease designed to perform in environmentally-sensitive rail applications. The grease will break down into natural parts within 28 days. This guarantees the grease will have no long-term negative environmental effects on turf, plants or animals in the event of a leak or spill. The new grease is said to have improved tackiness, allowing it to stick to the original application area better than its predecessor and making it less likely to drip off. Terresolve says EnviroLogic 802 has a significantly improved shelf life. The reformulated product also includes Terresolve BioPolyOlefins base stock. Phone: 800-661-3558.
