Scott and I thought that with spring work right around the corner we should provide you with some basic information on the types of grease products we offer in our CFC trade area.

Cenex Grease types

Maxtron FS = Maxtron FS has excellent structural stability. The 100% synthetic base oils give it excellent performance properties at both high- and low-temperatures. High structural shear stability and a high-performance base oil make it an outstanding multi-purpose grease.

Maxtron EP = Maxtron EP is produced with a specially selected synthetic blend base oil combined with a lithium complex thickener for high-temperature performance, and a carefully balanced additive package for superior rust control, oxidation control and wear protection.

Molyplex 500+ = Molyplex 500+ is a premium, heavy duty multi-purpose lithium complex grease recommended for automotive, industrial, and agricultural use. Molyplex 500+ contains 1.3% moly (Molybdenum Disulfide), one of the most effective dry film lubricating substances available.

Blue Gard 500+ = Blue Gard® 500+TM is a modern, high-performance, heavy duty, lithium complex multi-purpose grease, that sets a new standard for automotive, industrial, and agricultural use. Blue Gard 500+ qualifies for the highest performance level of automotive chassis and wheel-bearing grease classification, GC-LB for its #2 NLGI grade. Its excellent low-temperature characteristics, water resistance properties and superior oxidation control allow for long service in both on- and off-road equipment.

ML 365 = ML 365® is a high-quality multi-purpose, all season lithium grease available in NLGI grades 00, 0, 1 and 2. This product provides wide temperature range protection and can be recommended for many applications in agriculture, construction and industrial environments.

Molybdenum Disulfide (Moly) Grease

Molybdenum (muh-lib-duh-nuh m), also known as “Moly” is a key component when it comes to protecting equipment in harsh operating conditions. The principal ore from which molybdenum is extracted is molybdenite. The appearance and texture of this crystalline sulfide is very similar to graphite. Moly is made stronger with the addition of plastics, making it ideal to be used as a solid lubricant to reduce friction.

Moly is found in four Cenex grease products: HD Moly Xtreme, Molyplex 500+, Maxtron^® EP and Aluben EP Moly grease. With the enhancement of moly, you can expect superior resistance to wear from shock loading and heavy-duty applications. Molybdenum Disulfide along with other additives, contribute to the Cenex brand of high-quality greases used for protection in automotive, construction, and agricultural equipment.

For more information on these products, please reach out to your local CFC location.

Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business.

With planting season right around the corner, I have had a lot of questions about when growers are going to start planting. Talk to your agronomist about soil temperatures. Although this week we have had some nice warm temperatures, late next week, nighttime temps will get down to thirty degrees. Watch the forecast.

As it is getting closer to time to plant, talk with your local agronomist to make your last-minute farm plan changes.  Plan ahead and give us a heads up so we can get out there and spread fertilizer, so the planters are not sitting and waiting.

Seed, Seed, Seed. We would like to start delivering seed as soon as you have room for it. If you have any last-minute seed needs let your agronomist know so we can get it here as soon as possible. We also can help if someone would like a test plot on their farm. Test plots are essential not only to us but also to the seed salesman so we know what can benefit the grower the best.
