Industrial grease can be subjected to extreme temperatures, so it is important to choose a product with the ideal dropping point and maximum useable temperature. Dropping point refers to the temperature at which a grease passes from a semi-solid to a liquid. This is the highest temperature where grease will retain its structure, not the maximum temperature at which it should be used. That number can vary quite a significantly from dropping point. To avoid confusion as to which is which, check out our comparison chart before you buy.
