Greases
LITHROL EP
These greases are lithium-based products containing highly refined mineral oils and 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. These greases also possess high mechanical stability, maximum structural stability, excellent water resistance properties, high thermal and oxidation stability and superior anti-corrosion properties, good adhesion, and anti-wear properties, thus enhancing component life and increase re-lubrication intervals. Lithrol EP has the ability to work under heavy. loads. 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.
