AeroShell ASG22 3-kg-Tin (6.6Ib Gal)

Additional Product Information

AeroShell Grease 22 is trusted worldwide by MROs and aircraft engineers working on everything from cutting-edge military jets to passenger airliners carrying millions of people each year. Approved to MIL-PRF-81322 and NATO G-395, it delivers proven reliability across wheel bearings, actuators, and landing gear in the harshest conditions. Its wide temperature range, high load capacity, and long service life make it the benchmark grease for safe, efficient aircraft operations.

Key Technical Specs for AeroShell Grease 22

• What it is: an advanced general-purpose aviation grease based on a synthetic hydrocarbon base oil and thickened with Microgel® (an inorganic, non-melting thickener). It includes anti-wear, anti-oxidation and corrosion inhibitors.
• Useful operating temperature range: typically quoted as ≈ −65 °C to +204 °C (other supplier pages commonly show −54 °C to +177 °C for practical use; check the TDS for the precise test basis you need).
• NLGI grade / consistency: NLGI Grade 2 (common aviation bearing grease consistency).
• Base oil viscosity (typical TDS values): examples from the TDS - very high low-temperature viscosity and ~30.5 mm²/s at 40 °C; see official TDS for exact numbers used in engineering calculations.
• Key mechanical properties relevant to an aircraft engineer: high load-carrying capacity and anti-wear performance suitable for high bearing loads and high speeds; strong resistance to water washout and long grease retention. These directly affect bearing life, seal life, and re-lubrication intervals.

Approvals & Specifications for AeroShell Grease 22

• Military / Government & NATO specs: MIL-PRF-81322 (commonly shown as F/G depending on publication), DOD-G-24508A, NATO Code G-395 / Joint Service Designation XG-293.
• National/Defence specs: DEF STAN 91-52 (UK), DCSEA 395/A (France).
• Other OEM listing / acceptance: Widely listed on aviation MRO distribution catalogs and by OEM distribution channels (Boeing distribution catalogs and AeroShell product literature list MIL and national specs and indicate wide OEM acceptance - see “Approvals and Conformities” on supplier pages). For full, equipment-specific approvals consult Shell Technical Helpdesk or the OEM approvals database.

Typical Aircraft MRO / AOG Applications for AeroShell Grease 22

• Primary uses: aircraft wheel bearings (critical), landing gear joints, actuator screw-jacks, servo mechanisms, engine accessories where bearing loads/speeds are high, rotor bearings on helicopters, electric motor bearings, and general airframe hinge/static point lubrication.
• Why have it in stock (AOG / MRO reasons):
• It’s a multi-purpose, high-performance grease used across many systems - holding stock reduces the risk of AOG while simplifying inventory (one grease covers many points).
• Wheel bearings and landing gear are AOG-critical: lack of the correct grease can ground an aircraft until proper lubrication/inspection is completed.
• Good water washout resistance and long retention means it supports longer intervals between service-important for turnaround and reliability planning.

Compatibility & Safety Notes for AeroShell Grease 22

• Seal compatibility: Contains synthetic hydrocarbon oil + Microgel thickener - may be incompatible with some seal materials (polymers elastomers). Before use on components with non-metallic seals, verify compatibility with the seal manufacturer or TDS recommendations. Do not assume interchangeability with other greases.
• Materials / corrosion safety: Corrosion inhibitors included, but always clean old grease and debris before re-greasing critical bearings to avoid contaminant-induced corrosion/wear.
• SDS / handling: Use standard aviation lubricant handling precautions: eye/skin protection, avoid inhalation of mists, good housekeeping to prevent slips. Keep SDS available during AOG responses and in MRO stores. (I can fetch the exact SDS text if you want.)

Packaging & Procurement for AeroShell Grease 22 (matched to the Aerospheres page and common market packs)

• Aerospheres listing (example): 3-kg tin (Aero part ASG1K00003 / Aero P/N 100005) shown on the Aerospheres product page; shelf life listed as 72 months (2,160 days) and stock/expiry tracking is displayed on the page. Aerospheres notes expiry dates and stock levels and provides AOG support.
• Common pack sizes available in market: small cartridges/tubes (~380 g / 13.4 oz), 3-kg tin (6.6 lb), 17 kg / 37.5 lb pail, 170 kg drums for depot stores; 30 g / 60 g small tubes for avionics/bench use are also marketed by suppliers. Choose pack size to balance AOG readiness vs shelf life and contamination risk.
• Procurement notes (AOG mindset):
• Keep a mix of small cartridges (for immediate/techs’ bench use) and at least one pail (17 kg / 37.5 lb) for heavier shop jobs or multiple AOGs.
• Track batch/expiry (Aerospheres shows expiry on the product page) - use FIFO and label opened containers with date opened.

Why AeroShell Grease 22 is Chosen for AOG / MRO

• Versatility: covers many lubrication points so MROs can reduce number of different greases on shelf.
• Proven performance on wheel bearings / heavy loads: trusted in applications that are AOG sensitive.
• Approvals & pedigree: meets MIL and national specs and is sold through OEM distribution channels (Boeing distribution, etc.), which helps acceptance during on-wing servicing and removes qualification ambiguity.

Practical Suggestions for Your Team (AOG mindset) for AeroShell Grease 22

• Stock strategy:
• Immediate AOG kit: keep several 380 g cartridges and 3-kg tins in AOG kits for immediate wheel-bearing and actuator jobs.
• Depot stock: hold a 17 kg / 37.5 lb pail for shop replenishment-more cost-effective for frequent jobs.
• Label & trace: record MFG batch and expiry on each container; rotate stock FIFO. Aerospheres and Boeing distribution notes include shelf life values to use for inventory rules.
• Seal check: when dispatched on an AOG call, confirm seals/ elastomers on the job are compatible to avoid seal swelling/degradation. Carry a short compatibility matrix in your AOG checklist.
• SDS & TDS at hand: include printed SDS and a copy of the TDS in the AOG kit (or a QR link) so the certifying engineer has immediate access to recommendations and limitations.
