Alithex EP Grease
Lithium Complex Grease
Alithex EP Grease
Veedol Alithex EP Grease is a range of superior quality multipurpose extreme pressure greases formulated to provide extra protection against wear, rusting and water wash out. These lithium soap greases manufactured using highly refined base oil, rust and oxidation inhibitors, are suitable for moderate to high load application. Veedol Alithex EP range of multipurpose extreme pressure grease are suitable for use in many industrial grease applications. Veedol Alithex EP 0, 00 and 000 are suitable for lubrication of enclosed gears, chain cases and bearings of poorly sealed gear cases where conventional gear oils cannot be retained.
Features/Benefits:
- Excellent oxidation stability helps reduce base oil degradation, promoting long service life.
- High extreme pressure capacity protects moving parts from excessive load, helps lower maintenance cost.
- Very good water wash-out resistance helps stay-in-place performance of grease in wet operating conditions.
- Excellent rust and anti-wear properties ensure component protection in wet and hostile conditions.
Application:
- Alithex EP 3, 2 and 1 are recommended for various industries.
- Suitable for moderate to heavy duty applications.
- Lubrication of general machinery antifriction, roller, plain and needle bearings, bushing and pins
working under normal operating conditions. - Construction and mining equipment.
- Alithex EP 0 and 1 are suitable for centralized lubrication systems for lubricating plain and rolling bearings.
- Alithex EP 0, 00 and 000 can be used for lubrication of gear cases, chains etc. where softer greases are required.
- Operating temperature range -20°C to +130°C
