FOR 3 is a lithium-based multipurpose lubricating grease with NLGI grade 3 consistency, designed for the lubrication of rolling and sliding bearings, sliding tracks, guides, joints, electric motors, and other machine assemblies. The firmer NLGI 3 consistency makes this grease particularly suitable for applications where a stiffer grease is needed to stay in place under challenging conditions.

The firmer consistency of FOR 3 provides important advantages in specific applications. In vertically oriented or overhead bearings, the stiffer grease resists gravity-induced slumping and migration away from the lubrication zone. In high-vibration environments, it stays in place better than softer greases. For bearings with worn seals or looser fits, the firmer consistency helps prevent grease leakage and maintains an effective lubricant reservoir within the bearing housing.

This multipurpose grease is based on lithium soap thickener and mineral oil, providing the same proven and reliable formulation as the FOR range in a firmer package. It delivers effective wear protection, corrosion inhibition, and water resistance across a wide range of moderate-load, moderate-speed industrial and automotive applications.

FOR 3 is suitable for use in all industrial sectors, motor vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, mining equipment, and transportation applications. The operating temperature range of -30°C to +110°C covers the majority of common ambient and operating conditions. FOR 3 is the right choice when the application calls for a firmer general-purpose grease that provides reliable lubrication while staying securely in place — the ideal complement to the softer FOR 1 and standard FOR 2 grades for a complete range of multipurpose grease solutions.
