Bearing Grease
Description
Castrol Spheerol EP2 is an extreme pressure, lithium-based, general-purpose industrial grease of an NLGI No. 2
consistency.
Application
Castrol Spheerol EP2 is recommended as a general-purpose grease in all heavily loaded or shock-loaded plain and
anti-friction bearings or where an extreme pressure additive is required on industrial plant and earthmoving
equipment. The product is suitable for operating temperatures between -25°C to 120°C.
Advantages
High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long lubricant life
Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as 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
