And, of course,
http://www.lubrizol.com/referencelibrary/greasref/comp/additive.htm
doesn't support my original assertion (that zinc oxide is for water
resistance). Looks like ZnO provides dry lubrication according to the
lubrizol site and http://www.militec-1.com/grease.htm and
http://www.jetlubecanada.com/EP.html
OTOH, http://www.caltex.com.au/prods/whitegrs.html suggests that ZnO
is for water resistance.
I guess that's more than enough for now. (BTW, this is based now on a
search at http://www.google.com/ using the phrase "lithium grease zinc
oxide" and picking the hits that looked likely to describe grease
characteristics and blending.)
