What is the difference between lubricating grease and lubricating paste?

Response:

The difference between lubricating grease and lubricating paste is that, among other things, lubricating paste contains more solid lubricants than does lubricating grease. A lubricating paste is categorized by the fact that it contains more than 10% of solid lubricants, a lubricating grease contains less than 10%. This often controls the consistency of the lubricating paste – it will be firmer than lubricating grease normally is – but not always. 

Properties and areas of use for lubricating grease and lubricating paste

Lubricating pastes are often ideal for sliding bearings and applications with slow or vibrating movements, as well as high temperatures and loads. Grease is a lubricant whose properties depend entirely on its composition, so it is therefore important to have a clear requirement specification for your intended grease.
