Extreme-Pressure Grease Cartridge
Jet-Lube Alco-Ep-73 is a NLGI Grade 2 extreme-pressure grease supplied in a 14 oz cartridge. The aluminum complex thickener and mineral base oil deliver a Timken OK load of 38 lb for heavy-duty lubrication tasks. It is intended for maintenance professionals and industrial operators who require reliable film strength under severe loads.
Temperature and Standards Limits
The grease operates from a minimum of -25 degrees F up to a maximum of 450 degrees F with a flash point of 430 degrees F and a dropping point of 500 degrees F. It meets MIL-G-18458B but carries no NSF rating, so it is unsuitable for food-grade or potable-water environments. Buyers needing certified food-safe lubrication must select a different product.
Water Resistance Defines Fit
The single specification that decides suitability is the explicit designation for water resistance applications. The red aluminum complex formulation resists washout in wet or humid conditions. It will not meet requirements for high-speed bearings needing calculated four-ball wear data or for environments demanding NSF registration.

Questions about this item
How do I choose the right NLGI grade for my application?
This grease is NLGI Grade 2, a standard consistency for general-purpose lubrication in bearings and chassis points.
What does the 500°F dropping point mean once the grease is in a machine?
The 500°F dropping point shows the grease retains its structure well above the 450°F maximum operating temperature.
What does the MIL-G-18458B standard cover for this cartridge?
MIL-G-18458B qualifies the grease for military extreme-pressure and water-resistance requirements.
