CIBA GREASE EP3 is high quality extreme pressure lithium grease specially formulated with mineral base oils, lithium soap and oxidation inhibitor and EP additives to withstand continuous heavy and shock loads in the automotive and industrial applications.
Characteristics:
Contain special extreme-pressure additives which enable them to withstand heavy and shock loads without failure of the lubricant film. Excellent resistance to water wash-out. Good oxidation and thermal stability help to prolong grease lifespan. Good corrosion inhibitor, anti-rust, protect surface metals.
Applications:
Designed for use where to withstand continuous heavy and shock loads such as heavy duty bearings, heavy duty plain and rolling element bearings, wheel bearings, couplings, automotive chassis… in the automotives, heavy industrials, farm tractors, mobile equipments…
