Description
Castrol Spheerol™ EPLX are multi-purpose greases based on mineral oil and a lithium-complex soap; they are
formulated to provide excellent high-temperature lubrication performance. They possess EP load carrying properties, and
contain additives selected to enhance oxidation, corrosion and wear resistance.
Application
Spheerol EPLX greases are formulated for use in grease-lubricated plain or rolling bearings operating at temperatures
from -30 to 150°C/-22°F to 302°F. They may also be used for short periods at temperatures of up to 180°C/356°F in
bearings designed to operate under such conditions. In such cases, the frequency of re-lubrication should be increased;
operators should contact equipment manufacturers for guidance.
Examples of applications include all types of general industrial machinery, electric motors and machine tools, as well as
applications involving higher temperatures – such as papermaking machinery or bearings of ventilation machinery and
oven fans.
Spheerol EPLX greases are also suited for bearing lubrication under highly loaded and vibratory conditions – such as in
steel mills, railway axle-boxes and construction equipment. The long service-life potential of EPLX at temperatures over
100°C/212°F makes it ideally suited to machines in which poor accessibility makes frequent regreasing difficult
