Lubricating grease will oxidize and deteriorate during long-term storage. In order to prevent oxidative deterioration of stored oil, the following aspects must be paid attention to during storage:
1. Avoid direct contact between metal and lubricating grease. The stored oil itself and the container must be clean so that the oil has no or less contact with metals and metal ions that promote oxidation of the oil.
2.Appropriate storage temperature. If the temperature is too high, it will accelerate the oxidation reaction process. Therefore, try to choose a cool place to store lubricating grease.
3. Avoid contamination, especially avoid contact with substances that make the additives in the oil ineffective, such as water, various harmful metals, etc. For some oils with strong additive activity, the storage time should be minimized.
4. Sealed environment with minimal contact with air. Adopting effective measures for sealed storage can not only reduce contact with air, but also prevent the intrusion of contaminants.
5. Avoid direct sunlight, avoid placing it in places easily corroded by moisture, and try to avoid long-term storage of oil.
