- US – Approved MIL-PRF-23827C (Type I)
- France – Approved DCSEA 354/A
- NATO Code – G-354
- SAE – Exceeds AMS 3052
- Boeing – Approved BMS 3-33C
- Airbus – Approved AIMS 09-06-002
About AeroShell Grease 33
Of 359 grease application points on a Boeing 737, AeroShell Grease 33 lubricates all but 9 of them.
ASG33 is effective on virtually all airframe components. For those components where ASG33 is not suitable, AeroShell Grease 22 will do the job. A complete grease range in two products.
- It provides all-round protection in the harshest of conditions, from temperatures as low as -54°C through to scorching heat
- It helps maintain mechanical stability, avoids water washout and protects your aircraft parts from corrosion caused by de- cing fluids.
Why use AeroShell Grease 33?
Here are a few more reasons to choose AeroShell Grease 33:
- Replacing the number of greases used on the aircraft with a common grease lessens the likelihood of misapplication of the wrong grease and damage to the aircraft;
- The much-improved corrosion resistance and wear protection properties of ASG33 help prevent expensive replacement of parts by extending maintenance life while also allowing lubrication intervals to be extended; and
- Replacing a range of greases with just one reduces stock inventory and costs.
