FAQs
What does EP2 refer to?
EP2 refers to 'Extreme Pressure' and the NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) consistency number '2'. This indicates a grease formulated to withstand high loads and having a semi-fluid consistency suitable for most general-purpose applications.
Can this grease be used in food processing equipment?
This product is not specified as food-grade. For food processing applications, a specific food-grade lubricant must be used.
What is the shelf life of the grease cartridge?
While not explicitly stated, standard practice is to use within 2-3 years of purchase when stored correctly. Always check for signs of oil separation or hardening, which may indicate degradation.
How often should I re-apply the grease?
Re-application frequency depends on the specific application, operating conditions, and load. Consult your equipment manufacturer's lubrication schedule for recommended intervals.
Is this grease suitable for high-speed bearings?
While it offers good general performance, extremely high-speed applications might benefit from a grease with a different thickener or base oil. Consult the specific requirements for your high-speed bearing.
Can I mix this with other types of grease?
It is generally recommended to avoid mixing different types of greases. If switching from another grease, it is best to thoroughly clean the component before applying the EP2 Lithium Grease Cartridge.
Troubleshooting
Grease is difficult to dispense.
Ensure the grease gun is properly primed and the cartridge is correctly seated. Check for any blockages in the grease gun or the nozzle.
Lubrication seems inadequate.
Verify that the correct amount of grease is being applied and that the application point is clean. Ensure the grease gun is functioning correctly and the cartridge has not expired.
Contamination observed in dispensed grease.
Ensure the nozzle and surrounding areas are clean before dispensing. Store the cartridge with its cap on and in a clean environment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent protection against extreme pressure and wear.
- Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.
- Offers good mechanical stability and water resistance.
- Versatile for numerous automotive and engineering tasks.
- Easy to use with standard greasing equipment.
Cons
- Requires a compatible grease gun for application.
- Specific viscosity (EP2) may not be ideal for all applications.
- Mineral oil base may have limitations in extremely high-temperature synthetic applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This grease is provided in a 400g cartridge designed to fit standard manual or pneumatic grease guns. Simply remove the plastic cap, insert the cartridge into the grease gun barrel, and prime the gun according to its manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: This EP2 grease is compatible with most standard industrial and automotive grease guns. It is generally compatible with systems previously lubricated with similar EP2 lithium greases, but a full flush is recommended when switching between significantly different grease types.
Care: Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the dispensing nozzle clean and covered when not in use to prevent contamination.
