Sweep Silicone high viscosity ball differential grease

Sweep introduce their new silicone grease for ball differentials. It is of thicker viscosity than standard diff grease making it stick to the pressure plates longer increasing their lifespan and that of the diff balls. The grease is also good for the use on thrust bearings as well as sealed bearings and is recommended for any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are occur. The grease works in a large temperature range of -30°C up to 200°C and has a good resistance to moisture and water.
