Lithium AP3+ GREASE
AP3+ Grease is a lithium soap based premium quality multipurpose grease of NLGI 3 consistency. It is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions using high premium quality base oils & is fortified with rust & oxidation inhibitors. This grease has superior shear stability, surface adhesion and thus resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It is suitable for applications wherein operating temperatures rise to 120 0C under continuous service. This product can be recommended for a service life of 30,000 Km
Applications
· Automotive wheel bearings, chassis, steering components etc.
· Earthmoving, mining and quarrying equipment under moderate loading.
· Farm equipment like tractors, harvesters, implements etc
· Water pumps, generators, universal joints bearings, journal bearings etc
Main Benefits
· Reduces maintenance costs and downtime
· Cleans bearings
· Good water washout characteristics
· Good retention of structure under extreme operating conditions and under storage
· Superior protection against rust and corrosion
Performance standards
Exceeds the performance requirements of
· IS 12203
