Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease IS 408 | Graphited Grease Calcium Graphite Grease | Graphited Grease | IS 408 Grease | Graphite Grease | Heavy Load Grease | Sliding Grease | Industrial Grease | Railway Grease ✔ GRAPHITE FORTIFIED ✔ CALCIUM BASED ✔ HEAVY LOAD APPLICATIONS ✔ SLIDING & LOW-SPEED APPLICATIONS Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease is a graphite-fortified calcium grease designed for heavy-load, low-speed and sliding lubrication applications. Graphite provides solid lubrication and helps reduce friction and wear on suitable metal surfaces. The grease can be considered for springs, pins, bushes, slides, open mechanisms, industrial equipment and other applications where graphited grease is specified. What is Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease? Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease is a calcium-based grease fortified with graphite. Graphite acts as a solid lubricant and is particularly useful where components experience high loads, low speeds, sliding movement or boundary lubrication conditions. Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease is a specialized graphited grease developed for demanding mechanical lubrication where conventional fluid-film lubrication may be limited. The combination of calcium grease technology and graphite provides lubrication support for heavy-load and sliding-contact applications. Graphite forms a lubricating layer between interacting metal surfaces, helping reduce friction and direct metal-to-metal contact. This makes graphited grease particularly useful for components operating at relatively low speed, high load or low relative displacement. Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease is suitable for compatible industrial, automotive, engineering, agricultural and heavy-equipment applications where calcium graphite grease is recommended by the equipment manufacturer. GRAPHITE TECHNOLOGY Graphite is a solid lubricant with a layered structure that allows the layers to slide over one another. When incorporated into grease, graphite can provide additional lubrication under boundary conditions and help reduce friction and wear between suitable interacting surfaces. This makes graphite grease particularly valuable in applications involving heavy load, low speed, sliding contact, oscillating movement and low relative displacement. IS 408 GRAPHITED GREASE IS 408 specifies Grease No. 0, Graphited. The standard describes the material as smooth, dark grey, homogeneous and free from visible impurities. It also specifies graphite flake as part of the formulation requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} If the Bharat product is officially certified or tested to the applicable IS 408 specification, the product page can state the relevant IS 408 conformity based on the latest manufacturer TDS/COA.

Confirm that calcium graphite grease is recommended for the component. Apply Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease using a suitable grease gun, brush or approved lubrication method. Apply sufficient grease to provide proper surface coverage without unnecessary over-application. For springs, pins, bushes and sliding components, ensure the grease reaches the required contact surfaces. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended lubrication interval. GREASE COMPATIBILITY Do not mix Bharat Calcium Graphite Grease with lithium, lithium complex, polyurea or other grease types unless compatibility has been confirmed. When changing grease type, clean the old grease from the lubrication point wherever practical and follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. STORAGE & HANDLING Store in the original, tightly closed container. Protect the grease from excessive heat, moisture, dust and direct sunlight. Prevent contamination with water, dirt and other lubricants. Use clean application equipment during servicing. Keep the container sealed when not in use. Follow the latest product label and technical documentation for handling requirements.
