All greases are basically composed of base oil, thickener (a substance that forms a stable semi-solid consistency) and additives to improve performance. By adjusting these three basic ingredients, different greases can be obtained for various applications. A typical grease contains about 80%-90% base oil, 10%-15% thickener and about 5%-10% additives.
