The lithium thickener shears at a very low rate. The "Roll Stability" test showing a change of less than 20 points indicates that Alvania R3 will maintain its consistency even after prolonged rolling action in bearings. This prevents the grease from turning into a thin oil and leaking out.
With <5% water washout, Alvania R3 is rated as for wet environments. It does not emulsify easily with water, making it suitable for steel mill scale-pit bearings, marine deck machinery, and agricultural equipment operating in rain or mud. shell alvania r3 grease datasheet
