Thanks for the tip.
Here is the response I got from Jim Girard at Lubriplate for everyones information, or those who are interested.
"Thank you for contacting us. The other person you were talking to about this has been no doubt confused by information (or the lack thereof) available from our industry. Ball bearings are anti-friction type bearings as you know. Anti-friction bearings require greases with higher dropping (melting) points that plain and sleeve bearings. So, what you need is a grease that is thickened with lithium, lithium-complex or aluminum-complex. These greases can be fibrous, in other words, tacky, sticky or stringy -- however you want to describe their texture. Li, Li-Comp and Al-Comp greases can also be smoothe and buttery in texture. The confusion with fiber arises out of the old style wheel bearing and chassis greases which were thickened with sodium. Sodium greases had and still have a "short, fibrous texture." While sodium greases had and still have high enough melting points for successful use in anti-friction bearings, they are not water resistant. Automobiles encounter a lot of water! We recommend LUBRIPLATE Wheel Bearing Grease (original name!)for your application. Our Wheel Bearing Grease is smooth and buttery in texture. If you want a stringy texture grease, we offer Special Auto-Marine Grease. Both of these products are available through our Webstore. (I had to give the sales pitch.)"
So, that explains the fiber in the grease business.
Again, thanks for the website tip.
