Dropping Point of Grease

Dropping point: Dropping point is an indicator of the heat resistance of grease. As grease temperature rises, penetration increases until the grease liquefies and the desired consistency is lost. Dropping point is the temperature at which a grease becomes fluid enough to drip. The dropping point indicates the upper temperature limit at which a grease retains its structure, not the maximum temperature at which a grease may be used. A few greases have the ability to regain their original structure after cooling down from the dropping point.
