EPC Greases are multipurpose, extreme pressure, industrial and automotive greases made from lithium soap, sulphur-phosphorus extreme pressure additives, a high quality base oil and rust and oxidation inhibitors. EPC Greases have excellent load carrying capacity and good resistance to water washing. They are stable in storage and do not soften excessively under severe working, or harden in high temperature service. They are manufactured in NLGI grades 000, 00, 0 1, 2 and 3.
EPC Greases are recommended as multipurpose automotive and industrial greases for general applications on passenger cars, trucks, buses, trailers, farm tractors and industrial equipment. These include wheel bearings, ball joints, all chassis points, universal joints, splines, linkages, water pumps and steering gears.
They are also recommended for general industrial and agricultural use, including needle and plain bearings, cranes, pumps, winches and other equipment, particularly where heavy or shock loads require the use of extreme pressure greases with good retention properties. They are generally recommended for constant operating temperatures up to 120°C.
EPC Greases are used in prepacked and sealed for life bearings. EPC2 is a general multipurpose, bearing grease for automotive and industrial equipment and EPC3 for larger bearings subject to vibration (trucks and tractors). EPC 000, 00 and 0 are popular in centralised systems on underground coal mining machinery, as track roller lubricants and in rotary slasher gearboxes.
Useable temperature range in continuous service is:-
EPC 000: -30 to 60°C
EPC 00: -30 to 70°C
EPC 0: -30 to 100°C
EPC 1: -30 to 130°C
EPC 2: -30 to 130°C
EPC 3: -20 to 130°C
Maximum temperature for short term exposure is:
EPC 1: 175°C
EPC 2: 175°C
EPC 3: 175°C
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Simplifies inventory since the one product can be used for all automotive and many industrial grease application points.
Increases bearing and ball joint life by ensuring low wear rates under severe service conditions.
Good oxidation stability provides long service life, expecially where extended relubrication intervals are followed.
Effectively lubricates and protects even under overload or shock load conditions frequently encountered in automotive service.
Resists water washing to provide satisfactory lubrication under the most adverse conditions.
Users should consult the MSDS, follow the precautions outlined and comply with all laws and regulations concerning its use and disposal. Used packaging material should not be incinerated or exposed to flame. After use, protect your environment. Do not pollute drains, soil or water with used product.
