Method for manufacturing lubricating greases that contain lignosulfonate comprising a) the step of bringing together: - at least one base oil, - at least one calcium soap of a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with 10 to 32 carbon atoms, optionally substituted, - at least one complexing agent, selected from: (i) an alkali salt, with the exception of sodium salt, an alkaline earth salt or aluminium salt, a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid or hydroxycarboxylic acids with 2 to 8, a dicarboxylic acid with 2 to 16 carbon atoms, each of which is optionally substituted, (ii) an alkali and/or alkaline earth salt of boric acid and/or phosphoric acid, including their reaction products with LiOH and/or Ca 2 and (iii) mixtures thereof, and - at least calcium lignosulfonate having mean molecular weights as weight average of greater than 10,000 g/mol, heating to greater than 120°C for reacting and driving out low-boiling components to manufacture a base grease and b) the step of cooling and adding base oil and optionally additives while mixing. a) the step of bringing together: - at least one base oil, - at least one calcium soap of a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with 10 to 32 carbon atoms, optionally substituted, - at least one complexing agent, selected from: (i) an alkali salt, with the exception of sodium salt, an alkaline earth salt or aluminium salt, a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid or hydroxycarboxylic acids with 2 to 8, a dicarboxylic acid with 2 to 16 carbon atoms, each of which is optionally substituted, (ii) an alkali and/or alkaline earth salt of boric acid and/or phosphoric acid, including their reaction products with LiOH and/or Ca 2 and (iii) mixtures thereof, and - at least calcium lignosulfonate having mean molecular weights as weight average of greater than 10,000 g/mol, heating to greater than 120°C for reacting and driving out low-boiling components to manufacture a base grease and - at least one base oil, - at least one calcium soap of a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with 10 to 32 carbon atoms, optionally substituted, - at least one complexing agent, selected from: (i) an alkali salt, with the exception of sodium salt, an alkaline earth salt or aluminium salt, a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid or hydroxycarboxylic acids with 2 to 8, a dicarboxylic acid with 2 to 16 carbon atoms, each of which is optionally substituted, (ii) an alkali and/or alkaline earth salt of boric acid and/or phosphoric acid, including their reaction products with LiOH and/or Ca 2 and (iii) mixtures thereof, and (i) an alkali salt, with the exception of sodium salt, an alkaline earth salt or aluminium salt, a saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acid or hydroxycarboxylic acids with 2 to 8, a dicarboxylic acid with 2 to 16 carbon atoms, each of which is optionally substituted, (ii) an alkali and/or alkaline earth salt of boric acid and/or phosphoric acid, including their reaction products with LiOH and/or Ca 2 and (iii) mixtures thereof, and - at least calcium lignosulfonate having mean molecular weights as weight average of greater than 10,000 g/mol, heating to greater than 120°C for reacting and driving out low-boiling components to manufacture a base grease and b) the step of cooling and adding base oil and optionally additives while mixing.
