Product Information
Full details
Tygris Lithium EP2 Grease is a versatile, premium-quality lubricant designed for maintenance professionals and mechanics who need reliable performance for anti-friction and plain bearings under heavy loads. It provides superior extreme pressure resistance and long-lasting corrosion protection, ensuring machinery longevity in both industrial and automotive environments. While it excels in high-load applications, users should note that it is not a specialized high-temperature grease and may require a different product for extreme thermal conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this grease in my car?
Yes, it is highly suitable for automotive applications like wheel bearings and chassis lubrication.
Is this grease water-resistant?
Yes, it contains inhibitors that provide good resistance to water and protect against corrosion.
What does the 'EP2' rating mean?
EP stands for Extreme Pressure, indicating it can handle high loads, and 2 refers to the NLGI consistency grade, which is a medium-soft texture.
Can I mix this with other greases?
Only if they are also lithium-based; mixing different thickener types can cause chemical breakdown.
Does this expire?
If stored in a cool, dry environment in its sealed original container, it has a long shelf life, but always check for separation before use.
Troubleshooting
Grease gun will not dispense lubricant
Check for an air lock in the grease gun barrel or ensure the cartridge follower plate is properly seated.
Grease is leaking out of the bearing seal
Reduce the quantity applied; over-greasing can lead to pressure buildup and seal damage.
Increased noise or heat after lubrication
Verify that the new grease is compatible with the old grease; if not, flush the system completely before re-greasing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent load-bearing capabilities
- Provides robust corrosion protection
- High mechanical stability under pressure
- Versatile for industrial and automotive use
Cons
- Not intended for extreme high-temperature environments
- Requires manual application via grease gun
- Cannot be mixed with incompatible grease types
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the 400g cartridge, remove the plastic cap and insert it into a standard hand-operated or pneumatic grease gun. Before the first application, purge the gun to ensure no air pockets remain, which ensures a consistent flow of lubricant.
Regarding compatibility, ensure that previous lubricants are removed if they are not lithium-based, as mixing incompatible greases can lead to soap base breakdown and total loss of lubricating properties. For maintenance, store the cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the base oil and thickener. Regularly inspect grease points and re-lubricate based on the maintenance schedule of your specific equipment to avoid dry-running failures.
