Bentonite Grease Market by type (Extreme Pressure Bentonite Grease and General Bentonite Grease), Application (High Temperature Bearing, Industrial Ball, Metallurgical Casting), and Region- Global Forecast to 2030
The bentonite grease market is projected to reach USD 433.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.4% from USD 358.4 million in 2022. Bentonite Grease (extreme pressure) is an in-organic clay-based grease for plain and rolling bearings operating at temperatures higher than those at which conventional soap-based greases can be used. This grease is amber colored multipurpose grease containing anti-corrosion and extreme pressure additives and is suitable for most conditions especially at elevated temperatures. The grease performance is limited only by the properties of the base oil.
