Industrial and Automotive Grease — DANA Lubricants

DANA Lubricants produces and distributes a complete range of lubricating greases for automotive, industrial, and marine applications. Our greases are formulated with high-quality base oils and selected thickeners, and are available wholesale to distributors, mechanical workshops, and industries in French-speaking Africa.

Range of Greases

Multipurpose Lithium Greases

Lithium NLGI 2 grease is the most versatile product — used in 80% of common automotive and industrial applications:

• Lithium Grease NLGI 2 — bearings, constant velocity joints, pivots, tie rods
• Lithium EP2 (Extreme Pressure) — truck chassis, heavy-duty axles, construction equipment
• Lithium Complex NLGI 2 — high temperature (up to 200°C), industrial furnaces, foundries

Fats Calcium

Excellent water resistance — ideal for equipment exposed to moisture and frequent washing:

• Calcium Grease NLGI 2 — chassis, couplings, agricultural equipment
• Calcium Sulfonate Complex — superior corrosion protection, marine, offshore, coastal areas

EP (Extreme Pressure) Greases

For lubrication points subjected to strong shocks and high loads — mining, construction, steelmaking:

• EP2 Heavy Duty — excavators, bulldozers, cranes, front loaders
• Open Gear Grease — open gears, steel cables, racks
• Moly Grease (Molybdenum Disulfide) — extreme friction reduction, heavily loaded couplings

Dietary Fats (NSF H1)

• Food Grade Grease NSF H1 — oil mills, flour mills, food processing industries

High Temperature Greases

• Bentonite Grease NLGI 2 — ovens, welding equipment, application up to 260°C
• PTFE Grease — threads, valves, plastic seals

Packaging

Markets Served in Francophone Africa

Our industrial and automotive greases are distributed in:

• North Africa: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia — truck workshops, road transport, phosphate industries
• West Africa: Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin — mining and agricultural fleets, spare parts
• Central Africa: Cameroon, Congo, DRC — oil extraction, construction, forestry

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of grease is suitable for heavy truck bearings in Africa?

For truck hub bearings operating in Africa (high temperatures, dusty roads), we recommend Lithium Complex EP2 — it withstands higher temperatures than standard lithium and offers EP protection against shock loads. Dropping point >260°C.

What is the shelf life of the fat?

Under normal storage conditions (temperature <30°C, protected from light), our fats have a shelf life of 3 years. In non-climate-controlled African warehouses, we recommend selling off stock within 18 months.

Can I order a mixture of greases in the same container?

Yes. We frequently group different types of greases and oils in the same FCL to optimize freight costs. Contact our export team for a groupage quote.
