Product Information

Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant (4622)

High-Quality Grease Offers Versatile EP Performance

Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant (4622) is a highly versatile,

long-life, lithium-complex-thickened grease designed for
extreme pressure (EP) performance in a variety of farm, fleet,
industrial and marine applications. It provides dependable
performance in a broad operating temperature range in
chassis, wheel bearings and other critical grease points.

Beneficial Qualities

Demonstrates Excellent Versatility

• Works in wide variety of farm, fleet, industrial and
marine applications
• Protects both plain and anti-friction bearings
• Meets requirements of NLGI GC-LB grease specification

Withstands Pressure & Reduces Wear

• Demonstrates superior EP characteristics
o Has a Timken OK Load of 27.2 kg (60 lb)
• Provides exceptional film strength and protection against wear
• Protects against corrosion, rust and oxidation Proprietary Additives
• Exhibits long-lasting mechanical stability
o Results in minimal change in consistency LE’s proprietary additives are used
even after repetitive shear exclusively in LE lubricants. Monolec
Multiplex Lubricant contains Monolec.
Takes the Heat & the Cold
Monolec® wear-reducing additive
• Performs well in a broad temperature range creates a single molecular lubricating
o Has an operating range of -40°C to 204°C (-40°F to 400°F) film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing
• Demonstrates excellent pumpability for cold weather oil film strength without affecting
applications clearances. An invaluable component
• Resists high temperatures and protects equipment in elevated in LE’s engine oils, industrial oils and
temperature applications many of its other lubricants, Monolec
allows opposing surfaces to slide by one
• Exhibits high dropping point
another, greatly reducing friction, heat
and wear.

 Monolec® Multiplex Lubricant
Demonstrates Excellent Low-Temp
Pumpability in US Steel Grease Mobility Test
The US Steel Grease Mobility Test measures the resistance of grease flow at prescribed temperature and pressure,
thereby predicting pumpability characteristics of lubricants under low-temperature operating conditions.

The sample is placed in the pressure cylinder and cold soaked to the prescribed temperature. The flow of grease is
started under the selected pressure (usually 150 psi). After the initial flow, sufficient grease is collected to calculate
the flow rate in grams of grease per second during a measured amount of time. The higher the flow rate in grams per
second, the better the predicted pumpability of the grease.
