Description
Motul IRIX ACM 3 is a premium, firm-consistency industrial grease formulated with high-quality mineral base oils and a robust lithium soap thickener. As an NLGI 3 grade grease, it is stiffer than standard multipurpose greases (like NLGI 2), making it highly resistant to mechanical shearing, heavy vibrations, and high-speed operation. It is engineered to stay in place in demanding environments, offering excellent thermal stability and long-lasting protection against wear and corrosion.

Key Features & Benefits
Superior Retention: The stiff, NLGI 3 consistency ensures the grease does not easily sling off or leak, making it ideal for high-speed bearings and environments subject to severe vibration.
Thermal & Oxidation Stability: Withstands elevated operating temperatures without breaking down or hardening prematurely, extending re-lubrication intervals.
Excellent Water Resistance: Maintains its structural integrity and protective qualities even in the presence of water or high humidity.
Corrosion Protection: Forms a durable, protective barrier over metal surfaces to prevent rust and chemical degradation.
 
Industrial & Commercial Applications
High-Speed Bearings: Highly recommended for electric motor bearings, alternators, and large fans where a stiffer grease is required to prevent channeling and leakage at high RPMs.
Heavy-Duty Automotive: Ideal for commercial vehicle wheel bearings operating under high temperatures and heavy loads.
Vibration-Prone Equipment: Used in crushers, shakers, and screens in the mining and construction sectors where heavy vibration tends to knock softer greases out of the lubrication zone.
General Industrial: Suitable for vertical shaft applications and poorly sealed housings where an NLGI 2 grease might sag or leak.
