Description
Cerma Grease and Lubes: Fortified with SiC Technology
Cerma Grease and Lubes are a new generation of lubricants that are fortified with SiC (Silicon Carbide) Technology. SiC Lubrication is a revolutionary development that chemically creates a SiC coating at a micron level within the sub-surface of all metal parts to which the lubrication is introduced.
SiC's key properties include low density, high strength, low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, high hardness, high elastic modulus, excellent thermal shock resistance, and superior chemical inertness. Cerma SiC Lubrication produces a hardened, durable material and does not react with any acids, alkalies, or molten salts up to 800°C. In air, SiC forms a protective silicon oxide coating and can be used up to 1600°C. SiCs have little or no grain boundary impurities and maintain their strength at very high temperatures.
Cerma STM-3® Grease is a tacky grease that will not run on hot surfaces in excess of 500°F. It will not wash away even when using lacquer thinners and similar substances. Cerma STM-3 Grease is the best lubrication grease sold anywhere!

-
All "Off-Road" equipment used in Agriculture, Construction, Logging, and Mining where maximum protection against extreme shock loading and/or severe water washout is required.
-
All Industrial applications, including conveyor belts, rock crushers, lumber mills, sand and gravel screens, oil field and offshore drilling equipment, marine deck equipment, etc.
FORMULATION:
Cerma STM-3 Grease is made from the finest ingredients available, including quality polymers, high-viscosity base oils, advanced anti-wear agents, and natural rust inhibitors. The final manufacturing step sets Cerma STM-3 Grease apart. We finish our blending by adding 10% Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner by weight. Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner forms a physical and chemical bond within all metal surfaces, making Cerma STM-3 Grease unsurpassed in improving mechanical efficiency, reducing downtime, and preventing catastrophic failure.
EXTENDED GREASE INTERVALS:
With Cerma STM-3 Grease, the frequency of re-greasing can be reduced in most applications. The Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner contained in Cerma STM-3 Grease provides most of the lubrication, so the grease itself does less actual work. The great reduction in internal friction, heat, and wear means the grease maintains its original chemical and physical properties longer. Cerma STM-3 Grease lasts longer than other greases, extending routine maintenance intervals.
VERSATILITY:
Cerma STM-3 Grease: Versatile and Effective Lubrication for Your Mechanical Components
Cerma STM-3 Grease is a highly versatile lubricant that can be used in a broad range of applications, from low-load vehicle U-joints to high-load industrial gear and bearing systems. Its effectiveness is unmatched, providing lubrication even in extreme out-of-parameter circumstances that would cause other greases to fail.
The secret to Cerma STM-3 Grease's effectiveness lies in its metal conditioner, which migrates into the metal surface and reacts chemically within the metal to become part of it. This results in constant molecularly-bonded lubrication throughout the entire greased mechanical component, even if the grease is lost.
Using Cerma STM-3 Grease can improve your equipment's efficiency, extend its life, and reduce downtime and unscheduled maintenance. It can also help you save on energy usage, maintenance costs, and capital equipment replacement.
Some key features of Cerma STM-3 Grease include:
-
STM-3® Fortified.
-
Tacky Technology
-
Will not wash away.
-
Lubrication will not run in hot running environments.
-
Tested at 150,000 pounds per sq. inch pressure and up to 690 deg f.
-
Available in 14oz. tube and bulk quantities
Note that Cerma STM-3 Grease will not allow welding of metals, and even if you fail to maintain the proper grease schedule, it will still treat the metal and provide excellent lubrication.
