Description
HP Lithon EP 2 is a high, performance extreme pressure (EP) lithium grease of top quality, developed by HP Lubricants specifically for the treatment of parts that are subjected to very high pressures and other severe conditions. This grease, which is a product of HP Lubricants Lube Tradeways, aims at the protection of bearings and other moving parts in places where regular greases would not be sufficiently effective.
The superior lithium soap base that has been combined with EP additives results in a product that can carry very heavy loads, produces less friction, and provides metal surfaces with a higher level of protection against wear. HP Lithon EP 2 is an excellent example of good thermal stability which means that it can be trusted to work well at various temperatures without it decomposing or the oil separating excessively.
Besides, this grease is highly resistant to water washout and it can still be very effective in protecting the metal surfaces against rust and corrosion, thus you can freely use it even if the operating environment is wet or quite harsh. It does not change its texture under mechanical work and therefore it can be trusted to lubricate properly even for longer intervals between relubrications.
The application range of HP Lithon EP 2 is very broad to include such items as rolling and plain bearings, chassis components, construction vehicles, industrial machines, and heavy, duty automotive vehicles. The good track record of the grease in terms of its performance contributes to the reduction of maintenance costs, less downtime, and longer equipment life. This is the reason why it is regarded as a highly reliable product for the most demanding lubrication tasks.
Application areas:
LITHON grades meet the requirements of all industrial grease applications for plain and antifriction bearings in steel mills, paper mills, electric motors & generators, pumps, conveyors, compressors, machine tools, etc. LITHON EP has, in addition, shear stability, high load carrying capacity and is recommended for situations requiring the use of an extreme pressure multipurpose grease. LITHON EP2 is also suitable for ball and roller bearings of railway axle boxes. LITHON M 2 is suitable for applications where fretting corrosion may be a problem, such as lubrication of splined shafts.
Performance benefits:
- Excellent water resistance properties
- Works most satisfactorily even at high loads, wet and dry situations
- Excellent mechanical and oxidation stability
