Description
BP Energrease™ LC are multi-purpose high-performance greases based on mineral oil and a lithium-complex soap; they are formulated to provide excellent high-temperature lubrication performance. They possess EP loadcarrying properties, and contain additives selected to enhance oxidation, corrosion and wear resistance.
Application
Energrease LC greases are formulated for use in grease-lubricated plain or rolling bearings operating at temperatures from -30 to 150°C. They may also be used for short periods at temperatures of up to 180°C 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.
Energrease LC 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 Energrease LC at temperatures over 100°C makes it ideally suited to machines in which poor accessibility makes frequent regreasing difficult
Advantages
• High operating temperature capability
• Suitable for highly loaded and vibratory working conditions
• Maximum equipment protection
• Long service life
• Excellent anti-corrosion properties
• Very adhesive to surfaces
Additional Information
In order to minimise potential incompatibilities when converting to new grease, all previous lubricant should be removed as much as possible prior to operation. During initial operation, re-lubrication intervals should be monitored closely to ensure all previous lubricant is purged.
