The Carlube Ep2 Lithium Grease is designed for automotive and industrial ball, roller, and plain bearing applications, offering high melting point lubrication for extreme pressure and shock loading conditions. While it provides excellent protection against oxidation and water washout, users should ensure it's applied correctly to avoid potential issues.

EP stands for Extreme Pressure. EP additives in the grease help to protect components from damage under high load and shock loading conditions.
NLGI stands for the National Lubricating Grease Institute. Grade 2 indicates a medium consistency, which is typical for general-purpose greases like this one, balancing ease of application with staying power.
While primarily designed for bearings, its properties may make it suitable for other applications requiring extreme pressure lubrication, but always check equipment specifications first.
Re-greasing intervals depend heavily on the application, operating conditions, and equipment manufacturer's recommendations. Consult your equipment manual for specific guidance.
When stored correctly in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place, the grease typically has a shelf life of several years. However, actual performance can degrade over extended periods.
The grease is rated for use down to -15°C. Performance may be reduced at temperatures significantly below this point.
This may indicate it is outside its recommended operating temperature range (-15°C to 120°C). Ensure the application environment is within these parameters. If the issue persists, the grease might be contaminated or degraded.
Check for excessive water ingress or contamination at the lubrication point. The grease may need to be cleaned out and reapplied. Ensure regular re-greasing intervals are followed as per equipment manufacturer recommendations.
Ensure the grease gun is compatible with 500g cartridges and is functioning correctly. Check that the cartridge is correctly seated and that no air pockets are preventing smooth flow.
Setup:
This grease is typically supplied in a 500g cartridge, which is designed for use with a standard grease gun. Ensure your grease gun is clean before loading the cartridge to prevent contamination.
Compatibility:
Carlube Lithium EP2 Grease is recommended for highly loaded ball, roller, or plain bearings, particularly where very high or shock loads are encountered. It is suitable for applications requiring an NLGI 2 Lithium Grease. Always consult your equipment manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility.
Care:
Store the grease cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cartridge sealed when not in use to prevent contamination from dirt, water, or other foreign matter. Clean application points before greasing to ensure optimal performance and to avoid introducing contaminants.
