You can spray white lithium grease on anything that has metal to metal contact and surfaces that require heavy duty lubrication which include hinges, latches, gears and chains as well as spraying it on metal surfaces on equipment before storage.
Before you spray the white lithium grease onto the object or surface you should clean the area that you're gonna spray it on.
White lithium grease spray is often recommended for latches, door hinges, vehicle door hinges, vehicle door latches, garage door hinges, trailer jacks, bicycle chains, ATV chains, and other chain driven vehicle and much more.
You can even lubricate your vehicles hood and trunk latch with the white lithium grease which is what I do every few weeks.
I also spray my chainsaw chains and bars with some white lithium grease when I'm storing it protect the chain from rust.
The reason why white lithium grease is better is because white lithium grease is a multi purpose lubricant and provides great protection against corrosion and is long lasting, especially in applications that require great water resistance and in applications that are prone to high temperatures.
The white color of the white lithium grease is also good for identifying if any contamination has occurred or over greasing has occurred.
The white lithium grease forms a protective barrier against corrosion and rust, especially in damp environments and provides excellent lubrication for metal on metal applications including hinges, latches, bearings and other moving parts.
White lithium grease does stop squeaking and helps to lubricate and reduce friction between metal surfaces.
White lithium grease is great for stopping squeaking and lubricating things include door hinges and other mechanical parts as the white lithium grease has a thick consistency which helps it remain in place and provide for long term lubrication.
White lithium grease is a good all purpose lubricant and grease and is affordable although it doesn't always offer the best performance or longevity that is needed for certain ball bearing types or bearings.
The white lithium grease is often suitable for general purpose bearings, thrust bearings and even certain skateboard bearings although white lithium grease is not recommended for wheel bearings, especially wheel bearings in vehicles as it can cause the wheel bearings to overheat and fail.
For bearings that spin at high speeds or are in extreme temperatures, you should use specialized grease types like wheel bearing grease, marine grease or polyurea grease.
The main difference in lithium and white lithium grease is in the appearance and their use in certain applications.
Regular lithium grease can have different colors depending on it's formulation.
And white lithium grease may also have added ingredients like PTFE or Zinc oxide for water resistance and other certain purposes.
White lithium grease is often used in applications that require resistance to water, protection against corrosion and in places where a cleaner and more visible grease is needed.
Examples of some white lithium grease are CRC White lithium grease and WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease.
white lithium grease is also commonly used for sunroof panels, door hinges and other applications in which water and corrosion are a concern.
Regular lithium grease can be various colors including red and brown depending on the additives.
Regular lithium grease contains lithium soap which is the thickening agent and the base oil of lithium grease is often mineral oil.
Regular lithium grease is used for general purpose lubrication and protection against wear and tear such as in bearings and other things that need protection against wear and tear.
Examples of regular lithium grease are red lithium grease and other general purpose lithium grease formulations.
Lithium grease of the regular kind if commonly used in cars, heavy machinery and other applications in which a robust lubrication is required.
