Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 Bearing Grease

DESCRIPTION

Castrol Spheerol EPL is a range of greases which comprises lithium-based products, containing highly refined mineral oils, fortified with extreme pressure (EP) additives as well as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.

These greases have been formulated with additives that provide good film strength under medium to high loads.

APPLICATIONS

The Spheerol EPL range comprises general-purpose greases designed for plant-wide lubrication. The range extends from an NLGI 3 for general purpose bearing lubrication to an NLGI 00 (see separate data sheet) semi-fluid grease suitable for centralised lubrication systems and grease-filled gearboxes.

These greases provide good protection against rust and corrosion as well as resistance to water wash-out; which makes them particularly suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.

The stiffer consistency afforded by an NLGI 3 grade makes this product particularly suitable for the lubrication of bearings that are vertically mounted, or components exposed to a high degree of vibration. The good levels of resistance to both corrosion and water wash-out, make this product suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.

ADVANTAGES

Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 Bearing Grease Product Advantages:

  • High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long lubricant life
  • Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as the film stays between lubricated surfaces
  • Good water resistance – the grease film remains on the surface even in the presence of water
  • Resistant to copper and steel corrosion – helps prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces
  • Excellent EP and anti-wear properties – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps minimise bearing component wear

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Storage:

All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.

To minimise potential incompatibilities when converting to a new grease, all previous lubricants should be removed as much as possible prior to operation. During the initial operation, relubrication intervals should be monitored closely to ensure all previous lubricant is purged.
