What is EP 0 grease used for?
Eurol Lithium EP 0 grease is a high performance EP lubricant providing protection against vibrations and high (shock) loads, without losing its capabilities. Developed for trucks and buses, equipped with a central lubrication system, in engine reductors and gearboxes for which an NLGI-0 grease is advised.
What is EP grease best used for?
EP grease is a grease designed for extreme pressure. Putting AP or MP grease in situations where the grease will be put under such high pressures may cause more wear to the machinery in the long run. However, EP grease can be used almost anywhere that AP or MP grease would be needed.
What does EP grease stand for?
Extreme Pressure
‘EP’ stands for ‘Extreme Pressure’ and is a term used to describe lubricant applications that are subjected to high load conditions. Additives, both physical and chemical, are used in grease formulations to give a product its high load capabilities or ‘EP’ performance.
What is the difference between EP 1 and ep2 grease?
Mobilux EP 0 and 1 are suitable for centralised systems. Mobilux EP 2 are general-purpose greases. The recommended operating temperature range is from -20ºC to 130ºC, but they may be used at higher temperatures if the lubrication frequency is increased accordingly.
What is the difference between ep2 and ep3 grease?
Mobilux EP 2 is recommended for multipurpose applications in antifriction and plain bearings, bushings and pins under normal operating conditions. Mobilux EP 3 is a stiffer NLGI grade 3 grease recommended for applications where maximum protection against penetration of water or solid contaminants is required.
Is ep2 grease waterproof?
Applications. Unirex EP 2 is an excellent multipurpose grease for heavy-duty service in both Automotive and Industrial applications. Its excellent water resistance and extreme-pressure protection exceed the performance levels of conventional multi-purpose light-to-medium-duty greases.
Is EP grease good for wheel bearings?
It is also great for the wheel bearings of conventional and disc brakes where conventional grease can and will usually melt. Below are other common applications where EP2 lithium grease can be used: Disc brakes.
What does EP2 mean?

| EP2 | Ectopic Pregnancy 2 |
Is EP2 grease the same as NLGI 2?
We are all familiar with “EP 2” grease. This tells us two things, EP 2 grease is a NLGI Grade 2 and it is fortified with Extreme Pressure (EP) additives. This tells us nothing else about the thickener type, base oil type or viscosity of the base oil.
