Starplex EP 2
High performance long-service multi-purpose grease
Starplex EP 2 is a high performance long-service grease, for multi-purpose use in ball and roller bearings operating under high temperature conditions, and for long-term lubrication under extreme operating conditions.
Applications
- Automotive wheel bearings
- Chassis lubrication
- Highway and off-highway applications
- Construction equipment
- Agricultural tractors
- Heavy-duty transport
- General industrial greasing
- Marine applications
Although Starplex has a very high dropping point, which enables it to provide effective lubrication at temperatures well beyond those possible for conventional lithium soap greases, extended service at such elevated temperatures requires frequent relubrication to prevent oxidative degradation of the mineral base oil occurring.
Not recommended for constant-velocity joints on front wheel drive vehicles.
Customer benefits
- Advanced EP additives and corrosion inhibitors help protect bearings and metal surfaces.
- High dropping point helps minimise leakage and maintenance requirements.
- Designed for good oxidation resistance to offer long grease life.
- Formulated with lithium complex thickener and tackiness additive to offer effective protection in wet conditions.
- Multipurpose capability helps reduce inventory costs and misapplications.
