Application

Lithium EP3 can be applied manually, or by using a standard grease gun (400 gms cartridges available), or via a central lubricating system capable of pumping an NLGI No.3 grease. As with all greases used for the first time, check compatibility with the grease applied previously and if necessary purge bearings prior to application. Likewise, as a general rule, take care not to over-lubricate and apply the quantity of grease recommended by the bearing manufacturer.

Benefits

  • Excellent extreme pressure and anti-wear performance
  • High degree of corrosion protection
  • Multi-purpose grease particularly suitable for heavy duty applications
