Abstract
A lubricant composition includes a mixture of grease and wax formed into a block which is solid at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 150° F., and which transforms into a semi-solid under mechanical loading. The mixture is formed with 5-25% of melted wax. The block may be coated to form a shell to remain solid at elevated temperatures. The block may include other additives. The grease block is suitable for use in various applications, including on a 5th wheel trailer hitch plate.
