Grease composition for use as a filler for cables, containing about 75 to 95 parts by weight of a basic constituent of a polyol or an ester having a molecular weight of at least about 3000 and about 2 to 20 parts by weight of colloidal particles such as silica. Optionally, an antioxidant component can be added to provide resistance at high temperatures, or a rubber component can be added to improve resistance to bleeding. The invention also relates to a cable product comprising a sheath in which one of the grease compositions of the invention is found, as well as to a method of filling the cable with said grease compositions. |
