Definition – NLGI 1 grease is a semi-fluid grease with a soft consistency, classified by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI). It has a lower viscosity than NLGI 2 grease, making it suitable for applications requiring easy flow and pumpability.

Key Properties – Offers good lubrication, water resistance, and high-temperature stability, making it effective in reducing friction and wear.

Applications – Used in centralized lubrication systems, open gears, bearings, chains, and cold-temperature environments where a softer grease is required.

Advantages – Provides better flowability, making it ideal for applications needing consistent grease distribution and where NLGI 2 grease may be too thick.
