High-performance grease from Chevron fits heavy-duty and extreme pressure uses

Chevron has introduced Rykon, a high-performance overbased calcium sulfonate grease, that increases uptime and helps enhance durability.

Rykon grease is formulated for heavy-duty and extreme pressure applications. This calcium sulfonate complex-based grease also provides an alternative option to lithium-based thickeners, which have become expensive due to rising global demand.

Rykon is designed to help increase equipment longevity, extend lubrication intervals, and reduce the total cost of equipment ownership. The overbased calcium sulfonate complex grease delivers oxidation and thermal stability with superior water performance to protect equipment from failures and downtime. It also meets the demands of high pressure and shock loads, providing excellent wear protection under heavy loads and in high ambient temperatures.

Rykon will also feature Chevron's refreshed grease branding and packaging announced in 2023.

"By introducing Rykon to our grease portfolio, we are offering a new solution for high-pressure applications and ensuring customers have a high-performance grease when they need it," said Zach Sutton, Chevron Lubricants Industrial sector specialist. "As demand for raw materials grows, we remain committed to finding solutions like Rykon that will exceed the demands of machinery and equipment today and tomorrow."
