Product Information
Full details
The Syntol MOLYLITHIUM EP2 Grease Cartridge is designed for industrial and automotive applications requiring robust lubrication under demanding conditions. It offers superior wear reduction and extended component life due to its lithium-thickened mineral oil base fortified with molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). A key benefit is its wide operating temperature range, ensuring performance in extreme environments. However, users must ensure compatibility with existing greases before application to avoid performance issues.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of MoS₂ in this grease?
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is an extreme pressure (EP) additive that significantly reduces friction and wear, especially under heavy loads and shock conditions, by forming a robust lubricating film between moving surfaces.
Can I use this grease in any weather condition?
Yes, this grease has a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +141°C, making it suitable for most common weather conditions encountered in industrial and automotive applications.
How do I ensure compatibility with my existing grease?
It's recommended to check the manufacturer's specifications for both the equipment and the existing grease. If unsure, or if a different grease type was previously used, it's best practice to purge the system thoroughly before applying Syntol MOLYLITHIUM EP2.
What does NLGI No. 2 mean?
NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) No. 2 indicates a standard consistency for grease, meaning it is semi-solid and suitable for a wide range of multi-purpose applications and fits standard grease guns.
How often should I re-lubricate using this grease?
Lubrication intervals depend heavily on the specific application, operating conditions, load, and temperature. Consult your equipment manufacturer's manual or a lubrication specialist for recommended intervals.
Is this grease suitable for high-speed applications?
While it offers excellent EP properties, for very high-speed applications, it's essential to consult the equipment manufacturer's recommendations to ensure this grease is the optimal choice compared to specialized high-speed greases.
Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease
Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated, the ring pull and end cap are removed, and the grease gun is properly primed. Check for any blockages in the nozzle.
Premature wear observed on components
Verify that the correct grease type (EP2) is being used for the application's load conditions. Ensure proper lubrication intervals are maintained and check for any previously incompatible greases that may not have been fully purged.
Grease appears too stiff or too soft
Check the ambient operating temperature. If it is outside the recommended range (-30°C to +141°C), performance may be affected. Ensure the correct NLGI grade (No. 2) is being used for the equipment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent extreme pressure (EP) properties for heavy-duty use
- Molybdenum disulfide additive reduces wear and friction
- Wide operating temperature range for diverse environments
- Good water resistance due to lithium thickener
- Extends component life through enhanced lubrication
Cons
- Requires purging if switching from a different grease type
- Not suitable for food-grade applications
- Over-application can lead to inefficiencies
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the ring pull and end cap from the cartridge.
- Insert the cartridge into a standard 400g grease gun.
- Prime the grease gun according to its specific instructions.
Compatibility:
- When introducing Syntol MOLYLITHIUM EP2 grease for the first time, consult your equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
- It is crucial to ensure compatibility with any grease previously used. If there is uncertainty or a risk of incompatibility, it is recommended to purge the existing grease from the lubrication points or bearings before applying the new grease.
Care:
- Store cartridges in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid over-applying the grease, as this can lead to reduced efficiency and potential component issues.
- Keep the grease gun clean to prevent contamination.
