What are the factors that affe™‍±ct the durability of lubricating grease♦←?

Grease is a semi-solid lubricati★ ≈ng material made from mineral✔± oil (or synthetic lubricating oil↓€σ) and thickener. It has multiγ ©★ple functions such as lubricati•↓≥×on, sealing, filling gaps and rust prev ←ε>ention. The following are the★☆ main factors affecting &ε≤its timeliness:

1. Packaging factors

Packaging has an important impa$嶮ct on the timeliness of gα​rease:

• Packaging size: Due to the colloidal structure ch αaracteristics of gre ↔σase, especially soap-based grease, it i•>☆s easy to produce oil separatio® $₩n under the action of gravity. The la→δrger the packaging contaλγ★∑iner, the more obviou¥$™↑s the pressure oil separation tendency
• Sealing performance:
  • Good sealing can prevent <Ωdust and moisture from mixing
  • It can effectively prevent oγ xygen intrusion and reduce the♠≠♠ risk of oxidation and deteriorati∏↔on
  • It is recommended to choose aγ×εppropriate packaging and βσβλavoid overly large packaging container ​"'s

2. Shelf life

Under ideal storage ©♣∞conditions:

• Unopened products can be st∑φ→ored for 3-5 years
• Products that have been opened but not ±→≤properly sealed may deteriorate withi∏αn 10 years
• Products that have exceede×→d the storage period must be inspe ✔↓ cted for quality indicato§₹₩rs before use to ensure₹↑ that they can be used onl ≈ ♣y after they meet the req↓∞ ←uirements

3. Storage conditions

Correct storage methods are cruci♠®∑↓al to maintaining the quality of grea♣♥♦se:

• • Temperature control:
    • Indoor storage tempe¥←rature should be lower than 35℃
    • Outdoor storage requires the use of taπ™≥rpaulins and protective ±♣∏covers to avoid sun and ra↑≤€in
  • Access management:
    • After access, the surγδ♥☆face should be smoothed ♠↑♣to avoid leaving holes
    • Reduce oil separation
    • It is recommended to esβλ♠tablish a warehouse registration syst₽★★em and follow the first-ε↑≤¥in-first-out principle

4. Transportation and handling

Proper transportation and handling caδ‌✘n extend the service l₽✔ife of grease:

• • • Handling requirement&≠s:
      • Handle with care to av☆β₹↑oid falling due to weight
      • Use appropriate meanπ≥s of transportation, such as tricycl‌βes or cars
    • Placement method:
      • Should be placed vert↕★ically
      • Avoid placing it horizontally o≥♥γr upside down
      • Ensure that it is well sealed duβ↕↑≈ring transportation and take rain"← proof measures

5. Environmental and safety precau©←tions

To ensure safe use and e Ω®nvironmental protection:

• • • Waste oil treatment:
      • Do not directly discharge it §€into the ditch or pour↓ ↓≈ it into the soil
      • Use special containers to collect
      • Hand it over to a qualπ"γified recycler for tr✔Ωeatment
    • Personal protection:
      • Avoid direct contact with skin allergie€₩s
      • Replace oil-contaminated work ≥€δclothes promptly
      • Use clean tools to wipe t©♠δhe skin to avoid infection risk>↑s

Summary

There are many factors t姮hat affect the timel≈'iness of grease use, and it i∞¥★s necessary to strictly contro↕®l each link from packaging, storage, tr÷₹₩ansportation, etc. Through sci↓¶‍entific management and use♠™₽ methods, the performan↕→₽×ce of grease can be maintainedφ↔ to the maximum extent, its servi♣γ> ce life can be extended, ♠↔σand safety and environment  ∏×al protection can be ensured. When us ×ing grease, enterprises should™¶★ establish a sound management system‍↔× to ensure that each liαααnk is effectively controlled to®"<© obtain the best use effect.
