Aeriol ThixO#2 Aviation Grease is an NLGI 2 grease for fixed and rotary wing aviation greasing applications as specified by the OEM. Its advanced thickening agent and additive technology give high resistance to water washout and excellent thermal and oxidation stability. It has high shear stability and a temperature range of −35 °C to above 250 °C. It is approved and recommended for a wide range of Bell Helicopter models, primarily as a corrosion preventive compound (CPC) to prevent corrosion and seizing of critical components in nuts and bolts as well as drives, hub sets and splines. It has regional approvals for specific models from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, Transport Canada and other countries. It should not be considered an alternate for other greases in all applications; follow the OEM maintenance manuals and technical service bulletins. It is manufactured in Canada to ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015.
