Start of an NLGI 1 grease chart

[Hatsuwr]

Just put together a bit of info and thought I'd share. It's a rough draft, but I don't know if/when I'll get to adding more, so throwing it out in its current state.

There are obviously many more brands, and I know the Mystik list is incomplete, but their website is currently broken.

Removing the ones that you can't easily buy in smaller quantities, food grade versions, excessively thick base oils, and general underperformers (as far as the presented data goes) leaves:

Finally, leaving only moly-free options. I contacted each of the manufactures below to try and fill out the info here, will update if they reply with anything useful. Paragon 3000 is looking pretty good though.

Gold Star for Super Effort and Useful Results. Thanks.
This, yearly tallies from the oil change thread and, for example, thorough light bulb numbering-interchange charts, deserve a 'hallowed status'.

Thank you, are you taking requests? Traveller, Supertech and/or Mag1

I use Mobilux EP1 on linear rail bearings for a CNC and for 3D Printers (Like Voron's.) Excellent stuff.

Thank you for the chart.

I could definitely add some if you have a link, but I didn't see any NLGI 1 options from those three. I did add a Royal Purple grease and also a column for copper corrosion test results.

Why not post the actual spreadsheet(s) then it becomes a working tool rather than just a list for everyone.

Mobilux EP-1 and one from Lubriplate are the only grease I could find that meets Milwaukee spec lithium 12 hydroxystearate NLGI 1 for some of their power tools, in my case and old angle grinder. The EP is the only one on your list that meets this spec, it is easy to get and not expensive.

NLGI #2 greases are common while NLGI #1 greases not so much … I have uses for NLGI #1 grease - thanks for posting .
