Castrol Spheerol EPL 1 Grease Cartridge 400g

Spheerol™ EPL Range

Description

Castrol Spheerol™ EPL is a range of greases which comprises lithium based products, containing highly
refined mineral oils, fortified with extreme pressure (EP) additives as well as corrosion and oxidation
inhibitors.These greases have been formulated with additives that provide good film strength under
medium to high loads.

Application

The Spheerol EPL range comprises general purpose greases designed for plant wide lubrication. The
range extends from a NLGI 3 for general purpose bearing lubrication to a NLGI 00 (see separate data
sheet) semi-fluid grease suitable for centralised lubrication systems and grease filled gearboxes. These
greases provide good protection against rust and corrosion as well as resistance to water wash-out;
which makes them particularly suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.
The stiffer consistency afforded by an NLGI 3 grade makes this product particularly suitable for the
lubrication of bearings that are vertically mounted, or components exposed to a high degree of
vibration. The good levels of resistance to both corrosion and water wash-out, which makes this
product suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.

Advantages

• High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long lubricant life
• Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as film stays between
  lubricated surfaces
• Good water resistance – the grease film remains on the surface even in the presence of water
• Resistant to copper and steel corrosion – helps prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces
• Excellent EP and anti-wear properties – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps
  minimise bearing component wear
