Oh really. So what kind of grease? Have you tried Google? Why are you shouting?

A nalube type of grease perhaps ? Sorry, I regret having writen that, but it was too late, I had already sent the comment.

He is shouting because he is unhappy with the responses he is getting here.

He is not being given the instructions and formula that he believes exists.

Well, it does exist. Here is the result of a search that yields a paper titled "How to Process Palm Oil Into Grease". No more need to shout.

There is grease and there is grease.

What kind of purpose do you want to target? In other words: what do want to grease up?

Was the link provided in #3 useful in making "lubricating grease" from palm oil?

yes is was.wit some difficulty.somehow i need a way to make it waxy (having an elastic effect). what i actually have is pko not palm oil. i could get to saponify using caustic soda. it becomes sticky and not elastic in nature. i once tried to make it elastic by applying LLPE (LINEAR LOW POLYETHENE) but its combustive with d presence of caustic soda. with an engine oil heated and LLPE, a very elastic grease is achieved.av been trying to achieve same wit pko and even saponification without success.but am sure its possible.the kind of additive to achieve a reddish solution that will remain reddish and elastic when grease is formed is what i really need.

thanks for asking and every help u'v provided
