NASKA Grease and NASKALUB for all reel maintenance

🎣 NASKA GREASE | Ultra-High Performance Tribological Grease

Since its founding in 1967, Kaken Sangyo has been a specialized innovator in industrial lubrication technology. Applying the core principles of its signature "NASKALUB" ultra-extreme pressure technology, NASKA GREASE was engineered to deliver exceptional performance under demanding operational conditions.

Grounded in tribological science (the study of friction, wear, and lubrication), NASKA GREASE achieves a precise balance of load-carrying capacity, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Synergistic interaction between Extreme Pressure (EP) and Friction Modifier (FM) additives forms a highly stable fluid lubrication layer across boundary contact zones, safeguarding critical reel gears and bearings against mechanical wear and oxidation.

✨ Key Features & Technical Mechanisms

• Superior Shear Stability via Spherical Micro-Structure Conventional greases often employ fibrous, rod-like thickener networks that break down under mechanical shear, leading to softening and oil separation. NASKA GREASE utilizes a proprietary spherical micro-fiber thickener. This geometry evenly distributes mechanical stress to maintain structural integrity, significantly resisting breakdown and extending service life.

• Inherent Self-Lubrication & Extreme Pressure Capability The specialized calcium-complex thickener matrix possesses high inherent self-lubricating properties. Blended with NASKA LUB's extreme-pressure chemistry, it rapidly generates a protective boundary film at high-load metal interfaces—such as main gears, pinion gears, and spool bearings—substantially reducing the risk of galling and catastrophic wear under heavy loads.

• Advanced Corrosion Protection (approx. 40% Calcium Sulfonate) Formulated with approximately 40% polar Calcium Sulfonate compounds, NASKA GREASE forms an imperative hydrophobic barrier directly on metallic surfaces. This layer restricts contact with moisture, salt ions, and atmospheric oxygen, providing exceptional resistance against corrosion in high-salinity offshore and humid marine environments.

• High Water Washout Resistance Exhibits remarkable retention when subjected to direct water contact. While standard lithium or general-purpose greases typically experience 20% to 30%+ washout under test conditions, NASKA GREASE limits water washout to below 10%, preserving critical lubrication even during heavy saltwater spray and adverse weather.
