Cerma Grease is a tacky grease that remains in place and does not run on hot surfaces exceeding 500°F. It will not wash away even when exposed to lacquer thinners and similar substances. Formulated with quality polymers, high-viscosity base oils, advanced anti-wear agents, natural rust inhibitors, and 10% Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner by weight for superior performance.

What applications is Cerma Lithium Grease suitable for?

Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is ideal for automotive and fleet applications, off-road equipment used in agriculture, construction, logging, and mining, as well as industrial applications including conveyor belts, rock crushers, and marine deck equipment. It is compatible with other lithium complex greases.

What durability features does Cerma Grease offer?

Cerma Grease offers heat resistance up to 800°C, waterproof protection, weather resistance, and cold resistance. It provides superior shock-load protection, resistance to water and chemical washout, and excellent corrosion prevention. These features result in reduced maintenance, extended lubricating intervals, increased equipment life, and lower operating temperatures.

Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Extreme Heat & Pressure Protection for All Applications

Grease that stays put when everything else fails. Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is fortified with STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology — containing 10% Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner by weight — to deliver ceramic-level protection for bearings, joints, gears, and every greased component in the most extreme conditions on earth. This tacky lithium complex grease stays in place on surfaces exceeding 500°F, withstands temperatures up to 800°C without reacting to acids, alkalies, or molten salts, and will not wash away even when exposed to lacquer thinners and harsh solvents. The SiC technology chemically creates a ceramic coating at the micron level within the sub-surface of all metal parts, providing permanent protection that dramatically extends equipment life, reduces re-greasing frequency, and prevents catastrophic bearing failure. Compatible with other lithium complex greases. Available from 14 oz tubes through 400 lb drums for automotive shops, fleets, construction sites, farms, mines, and industrial operations.

✅ Compatible with Lithium Complex Greases: Drop-in replacement for existing lithium grease programs
✅ PTFE-Free & Made in the USA

🔬 How SiC Technology Makes This the Best Grease Available

Standard greases simply create a film between metal surfaces. When heat, pressure, or contamination breaks that film, metal-on-metal contact begins and failure follows. Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is fundamentally different. Its STM-3 technology chemically creates a Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) coating at the micron level within the sub-surface of metal parts. This means the ceramic protection is IN the metal, not just ON it. SiC provides high strength, low thermal expansion, extreme hardness (Mohs 9.5), and excellent thermal shock resistance. Even if the grease itself is temporarily displaced by extreme conditions, the SiC ceramic sub-surface coating continues protecting the metal. Formulated with quality polymers, high-viscosity base oils, advanced anti-wear agents, and natural rust inhibitors — plus 10% Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner by weight.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease?

Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is a high-performance ceramic grease fortified with 10% Cerma STM-3 Metal Conditioner by weight, featuring Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology. Unlike standard greases that only create a surface film, Cerma's SiC technology chemically creates a ceramic coating at the micron level within the sub-surface of metal parts. This provides permanent protection with extreme temperature resistance (stays in place above 500°F), chemical/solvent resistance, water washout resistance, and superior shock-load protection.

What makes Cerma grease better than regular hi-temp grease?

Two things set Cerma apart. First, the SiC sub-surface bonding — conventional grease creates a film ON the metal surface that can be displaced by heat, pressure, water, or chemicals. Cerma's SiC particles bond INTO the metal at the micron level, providing protection even if the grease itself is temporarily displaced. Second, the chemical and thermal resistance — Cerma won't wash away with lacquer thinners or solvents, stays in place above 500°F, and the SiC withstands 800°C without reacting to acids, alkalies, or molten salts. No conventional grease can match these specs.

Can I use Cerma grease on wheel bearings?

Yes. Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is ideal for wheel bearings on vehicles, trailers, boats, and equipment. The high-temperature stability keeps the grease in place even under sustained high-speed travel or heavy braking heat, while the SiC ceramic sub-surface bond provides permanent protection against the bearing wear that leads to failure. It's compatible with other lithium complex greases, so it can be used to repack bearings without special cleaning.

Is Cerma grease compatible with my existing grease?

Yes — Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is compatible with other lithium complex greases. You can switch to Cerma without purging existing grease in most applications. For critical or precision bearings, we recommend purging old grease when practical to maximize the SiC ceramic protection concentration.

How often do I need to re-grease with Cerma?

Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease extends re-greasing intervals significantly compared to conventional greases. The SiC ceramic sub-surface bond provides permanent protection between applications, so even as the grease base naturally depletes over time, the ceramic coating continues protecting. Exact intervals depend on your equipment, operating conditions, and loads. Many operations report reducing re-greasing frequency by 50% or more. For critical applications, monitor grease condition and temperature to determine optimal intervals.

Can Cerma grease handle water and wet environments?

Yes. Cerma Hi Temperature Lithium Grease is waterproof and resistant to water/chemical washout. It's ideal for marine deck equipment, outdoor construction and agricultural equipment, and any application exposed to rain, washdown, or submersion. The SiC ceramic sub-surface bond is completely unaffected by water — it's bonded into the metal itself.

What size grease tube fits a standard grease gun?

The 14 oz tube is the standard grease gun cartridge size used in most lever-action and pistol-grip grease guns. For larger operations, the 35 lb lug works with bulk grease guns and pneumatic greasers, the 120 lb keg with drum pumps, and the 400 lb drum with industrial grease dispensing systems.
