Lithium-based grease is a high-performance and high-temperature form of lubricant grease to which lithium compounds have been added. It is sometimes mixed with teflon and other substances such as molybdenum compounds to improve perforance.

It is highly adhesive to metal, is non-corrosive, and may be used under heavy loads. It has a drip temperature of 190 to 220 C (350° to 400°F) and it resists moisture, hence it is commonly used as lubricant in household products such as garage door openers.
