Thickener Types We Stock
Lithium & Lithium Complex Grease
Lithium and lithium-complex greases are the workhorse of the range, covering general bearings, hinges, slides and chassis points. AIMS carries straight lithium (CRC, Morey's, Dy-Mark and WD-40 white lithium in aerosol and tin) plus lithium-complex options — Anglomoil Angloplex, Rocol Sapphire Ultraplex and Molybond Opal Hi-Load — for higher-temperature, higher-load duty than a standard lithium grease can handle. Anglomoil's lithium-hydroxystearate EP range spans NLGI 00, 0 and 2, so centralised systems and hand-pack applications are both covered from one thickener family.
Calcium Sulphonate Grease
Calcium sulphonate is the specification to reach for wherever water ingress, not just temperature, is the main threat — marine equipment, wash-down areas, and outdoor pins and bushes exposed to weather. Anglomoil's Impactor (NLGI 2) and Inplex 2163-220 (NLGI 3) calcium sulphonate greases give AIMS coverage across both a standard and a firmer consistency in this thickener type.
Molybdenum Disulphide (Moly) Grease
Moly greases carry solid MoS₂ particles that keep protecting a bearing surface even after the oil film is squeezed out under shock loading or very slow speed — kingpins, pivot pins, open gears and heavy articulating joints. The range includes Morey's Moly Complex EP2, Morey's Molybentone (non-soap/clay-based), Molytec Molytac II and Molytec's Fleece Grease LGX for open gear work, plus Molybond's clay-based and lithium-complex moly formulations. Moly is not the right choice for high-speed rolling-element bearings — the solid particles increase friction at speed, so stick to lithium, lithium complex or calcium sulphonate there.
PTFE-Fortified & Silicone Grease
Inox's MX8 range adds PTFE for reduced friction under heavy or slow-moving loads, available as a cartridge, spray and premium grease. Rocol's Sapphire (MX22) silicone grease is the one to reach for around rubber seals, O-rings, plastics and electrical connectors — petroleum-based greases like lithium and moly will swell or degrade these materials, so silicone is the compatible choice.
Food Grade Grease (NSF H1)
Where there's any risk of incidental food contact, Australian food and beverage manufacturers need an NSF H1-registered grease. AIMS stocks CRC Food Grade Multi-Purpose Grease, Inox MX6, Molytec's Food Machinery Grease and water-resistant M854 aerosol, Rocol's Foodlube Grease #2 and Foodlube Premier #1, and Morey's Aluminium Complex Food Machinery Grease — covering both general food-plant lubrication and wash-down environments in bakery and dairy settings.
Specialty & Niche Greases
Beyond the mainstream thickener families, the range covers a handful of application-specific products: Inox MX4G Lanox lanolin grease for corrosion protection on fittings and fasteners; Rocol's wire rope greases (RD105 cartridge, RD205 fluid) and rail curve greases (standard and lined, 20 kg) for cranes, lifts and rail infrastructure; marine greases from Molytec (M877), Morey's (Red-i, Red-I EP2 Watersport) and Motul (Nautic); and Anglomoil's copper/graphite anti-seize compound for high-temperature thread and fastener protection.
Choosing the Right NLGI Grade
NLGI consistency grade describes how firm a grease is, not what it's made of — you still need to match the thickener to the application first, then the NLGI grade to the equipment and delivery method. Grades genuinely represented in this range run from NLGI 000 through to NLGI 3:
- NLGI 000 / 00: Semi-fluid — centralised and automatic lubrication systems where the grease needs to flow through small-bore lines. Anglomoil's Angloplex NLGI 000 and EP Lithium Hydroxy NLGI 00 sit in this band.
- NLGI 0 / 1: Soft — cold-weather workshop use and some gear-driven lubricators. Anglomoil's EP Lithium Hydroxy NLGI 0 covers this grade.
- NLGI 2: The workshop and trade default — most bearing, chassis and general-purpose greases in this range (lithium, lithium complex and calcium sulphonate alike) are supplied at NLGI 2, and it's the standard consistency for hand-operated grease guns.
- NLGI 3: Firm — used where a stiffer grease is needed to resist slump or throw-off, such as Inplex's NLGI 3 calcium sulphonate grease.
If you're not sure which grade your equipment calls for, check the OEM manual first — the wrong consistency can starve a centralised system or get flung out of an open bearing.
Application Methods & Pack Formats
Pack format follows how the grease gets applied. Aerosol sprays (CRC Red Lithium, Inox MX8 Spray, WD-40 White Lithium, Dy-Mark Protech, Molytec M854) suit quick top-ups and hard-to-reach points. Cartridges (Inox MX8, Molytec M870, Anglomoil, Morey's) load straight into a standard grease gun for point lubrication through grease nipples and grease couplers. Tins and tubs (Rocol Foodlube, Morey's turntable grease) suit hand-packing. Bulk 20 kg pails and 20 L drums (Morey's, Molytec, Rocol wire rope grease) feed bulk-fill grease guns and centralised or automatic lubrication systems — see our Grease Equipment and Grease Pumps ranges for the dispensing side.
Applications & Industries
The range is built for the maintenance points Australian trades and industry actually service: general bearings and chassis points across workshops, transport and agriculture; food and beverage processing lines needing NSF H1 compliance; marine and coastal equipment exposed to salt water and wash-down; mining, earthmoving and heavy plant with high-load, shock-load pivots and open gearing; cranes, lifts and rail infrastructure needing wire rope and rail curve lubrication; and rubber, plastic and electrical components that need a non-petroleum-based grease.
Brands We Stock
Morey Oil and Anglomoil are the two deepest ranges in this collection, between them covering EP, moly, calcium sulphonate, food machinery and marine greases across small packs and bulk drums. Rocol brings the Sapphire and Foodlube families plus wire rope and rail curve specialty greases. Molytec and Molybond cover heavy-duty truck, farm, open gear and moly greases. Inox supplies PTFE, food-grade and lanolin greases; CRC and Dy-Mark round out general-purpose lithium aerosols. SKF, WD-40, Macnaught, Motul and CorrosionX fill out specific niches — bearing manufacturer OEM grease, consumer-grade white lithium, cartridge greasers, marine grease and corrosion-inhibiting grease respectively.

FAQ — Industrial Grease
What greases does AIMS Industrial stock?
Lithium and lithium-complex grease for general bearings and workshop use, calcium sulphonate grease for marine and wet environments, moly (molybdenum disulphide) grease for high-load slow-speed applications, PTFE-fortified and silicone grease, food-grade (NSF H1) grease, and specialty lanolin, wire rope and rail curve greases. Brands include Morey Oil, Anglomoil, Rocol, Molytec, Molybond, Inox, CRC, Dy-Mark, SKF, WD-40, Macnaught, Motul and CorrosionX.
What NLGI grade do I need?
NLGI 2 is the workshop and trade default for general bearings and hand-operated grease guns. NLGI 000/00 semi-fluid grades suit centralised lubrication systems, NLGI 0/1 soft grades suit cold-weather workshop use, and NLGI 3 firm grades are used where the grease needs to resist slump or throw-off. Check your equipment's OEM manual if you're unsure.
What's the difference between lithium and lithium complex grease?
Both use a lithium-based thickener, but lithium complex is formulated for higher operating temperatures and heavier bearing loads than a standard lithium grease. If your application runs hotter or harder than general workshop duty, lithium complex (such as Anglomoil Angloplex or Rocol Sapphire Ultraplex) is the better fit.
When should I use calcium sulphonate grease instead of lithium?
Reach for calcium sulphonate — Anglomoil's Impactor (NLGI 2) or Inplex 2163-220 (NLGI 3) — when water resistance is the priority, such as marine equipment, wash-down areas or outdoor pins exposed to weather. Lithium and lithium-complex greases remain the better general-purpose choice for dry, temperature-driven applications.
What is moly grease used for, and when should I avoid it?
Moly (molybdenum disulphide) grease is for high-load, shock-load and slow-speed points — kingpins, pivot pins, open gears and heavy articulating joints — where the solid MoS₂ particles keep protecting the surface after the oil film breaks down. Avoid it on high-speed rolling-element bearings, where the solid particles increase friction rather than reduce it.
Does AIMS stock NSF H1 food-grade grease?
Yes. CRC Food Grade Multi-Purpose Grease, Inox MX6, Molytec's Food Machinery Grease and M854 water-resistant aerosol, Rocol's Foodlube Grease #2 and Foodlube Premier #1, and Morey's Aluminium Complex Food Machinery Grease are all NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact in food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing.
Can I mix different types of grease?
Not safely, as a rule. Different thickener bases — lithium, calcium sulphonate, moly and others — can be incompatible and break down or turn to sludge when mixed. Purge old grease as completely as practical before switching types, and if you're topping up in an emergency, check compatibility first rather than assuming it's fine.
What's the difference between this Greases page and the Lubrication collection?
This page is the focused grease range — thickener types, NLGI grades and grease-specific application guidance. Our Lubrication collection is the full hub covering oils, penetrants, greases and lubrication equipment together, for when you need the broader picture.
What pack sizes are available?
From 300 g aerosol cans and cartridges suited to a standard grease gun, through tins and tubs for hand-packing, up to 20 kg pails and 20 L drums for bulk-fill guns and centralised lubrication systems. Larger bulk quantities are available on request — contact our team for pricing.
What's silicone grease used for?
Silicone grease — Rocol's Sapphire MX22 in this range — is the compatible lubricant for rubber O-rings, elastomeric seals, plastic components and electrical connectors. Petroleum-based greases like lithium or moly can cause rubber and plastic to swell or degrade, so silicone is the safer choice around these materials.
Do you stock grease guns and greasing equipment as well?
Yes — see our Grease Guns, Grease Equipment (pumps, meters and bulk-fill gear), Grease Couplers and Grease Nipples ranges alongside this grease collection.
