Lithium Grease
Hydrophobic, Corrosion Inhibiting Lubricant
8461 Technical Data Sheet
8461
Description
The 8461
Lithium Grease
is a multi-purpose lubricant that provides long superior lubrication and
protection against corrosion. As a lubricant, it reduces metal-to-metal friction and wear while retaining it
consistency over a wide temperature range. As a corrosion inhibitor, it prevents water and external
contaminants from oxidizing metals.

Application Instructions
The performance of the 8461 Lithium Grease depends on surface preparation. Improperly prepared
contact surfaces can degrade the oxidation protection, dielectric properties, and lubrication characteristics
by trapping contaminants between the surface and the grease. The thickness and coverage should be
adjusted to meet your needs.
Prerequisites
(Optional) Wear gloves to avoid contaminating the surface and to avoid possible skin irritation.
(see 8461 SDS).
Clean and dry the surface of the substrate to remove other oils, greases, dust, water, solvents, or
any other contaminants.
Recommendations:
Use MG 824 Isopropyl Alcohol or MG 401B Nu-trol Control Cleaner
Equipment
Lint free cloth (for cleaning contact and for wiping excess residue)
Spatula or stick application tools (sized appropriately for your application)
Isopropyl alcohol or other residue-free organic solvents
