EP GREASE

DESCRIPTION
Petromin EP Grease series is extreme pressure lithium soap grease, which contains oxidation, rust and corrosion inhibitors and provides excellent EP properties. The use of a lithium soap base ensures effective resistance to softening under severe working conditions, efficient water resistance and a consistency, which remains relatively constant over the recommended range of operating temperatures. Petromin EP Grease is non-corrosive to both steel and copper. The later is of importance because of the use of bronze cages in many anti-friction bearings. The grease exhibits effective resistance to bleeding and superior resistance to water washout.

APPLICATIONS

Petromin EP Grease is recommended for lubrication of plain and rolling element bearings in normal through heavy-duty industrial applications. It is are suitable where loads are high or shock loads are present. It resists water washing and provide rust protection for bearings if water is present. The softer grades are particularly suitable for use in centralized lubrication systems. Can be used for both automotive and industrial applications.


BENEFITS

• Superior lubrication under heavy and shock loading.

• Excellent load carrying ability.

• Excellent resistance to water washing.

• Effective rust protection and corrosion resistance.
