Product Description

LITHEXPLUS EP 850 grease was designed for very heavy-duty service under severe ambient conditions. It is blended and compounded to withstand shock loads as well as heavy loads, conditions commonly found in the steel and construction industries, in mining and forestry .LITHEXPLUS EP 850 grease is made with a blend of high-viscosity mineral oils and polymers which produce a tough lubricating film capable of withstanding shock loads and vibrations. The shear-stable thickener provides an excellent sealing effect against contamination from the atmosphere, even if mechanical seals are damaged or missing (grease collar in the bearing). The lubricating grease contains solid lubricants whose structure is best suited for the rugged conditions in heavy industry. The solids are treated to increase their natural affinity to metal surfaces. Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors maximize the corrosion protection and aging stability of the base oil. LITHEXPLUS EP 850 grease is free of antimony, lead, zinc and other heavy metals

Performance Benefits

• The LITHEXPLUS EP-850 solid lubricants achieve reduced friction in the boundary and mixed friction areas
• Due to their good adhesion these greases provide an optimum sealing effect. This is most evident during frequent start-ups, low speeds and/or high loads as well as shock loads

Applications

Typical applications are in all types of rolling and sliding bearings, spindles, joint couplings (except for high speed precision couplings), running gears, cams and general grease lubricating points, especially where heavy loads and low speeds prevail. LITHEXPLUS EP 850 greases are especially suited for the lubrication of heavy machines e.g. forging presses or hauling machines. Due to the extremely stable lubricating film, supported by the solid lubricant combination in the mixed friction area as well as the excellent sealing effect, a quantity reduction and an improved lubricating condition can be ensured.

Health & Safety

These grease are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.
