A lithium base grease is widely used as a multipurpose grease because it combines

  • A.the lowest cost of any soap base
  • B.complete freedom from any need for additives
  • C.a high drop point with water resistance
  • D.a low drop point with high water solubility

Answer: C

Correct answer: a high drop point with water resistance

Lithium soap gives a drop point around 190 degrees, so it serves at temperatures a calcium grease could not, and it resists water where a sodium grease would wash out. That combination, together with good mechanical stability, is why lithium greases displaced the older types as the general purpose choice.
