Atlantic Marine Grease EP 2
ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 is a high performance, general-purpose industrial-type grease. This lithium hydroxystearate based grease is formulated to provide extra protection against wear, rusting and water washout. It is NLGI Grade 2 with a base oil viscosity of ISO VG 150.
ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 grease is recommended for most types of marine and industrial applications including heavy-duty applications where high unit pressures or shock loads are present. This grease provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion and resists water wash-out which makes it particularly suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common. ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 is general-purpose grease and is not normally recommended for use in centralised grease systems.
The recommended operating temperature range is from -20ºC to 130ºC, but it may be used at higher temperatures if the lubrication frequency is increased accordingly.
Applications
ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 is recommended for multipurpose use in normal to heavy-duty marine applications, including the lubrication of anti-friction and plain bearings, bushings and pins under normal operating conditions. It is particularly recommended where loads are high, shock loads are present, or where severe vibration is a problem. ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 is suitable for the lubrication of flexible couplings. It is capable of lubricating bearings at ambient temperatures ranging from -20ºC to 130ºC. For continuous service at temperatures above 95ºC, proper purging and relubrication frequencies are critical for maintenance of correct bearing protection.
The good water tolerance and rust and corrosion protection of ATLANTIC MARINE GREASE EP 2 make it particularly suited for wet applications commonly found in marine environments.
