Customer Benefits

• Saves maintenance costs
  Effective EP additive offers protection against bearing wear under severe conditions and shock loading. The effective rust and corrosion inhibitors help protect metal surfaces, even in conditions of severe water exposure.
• Minimizes downtime
  High dropping point helps minimize leakage from bearings at elevated temperatures and excellent oxidation resistance contributes to long grease life. Natural water resistance of the lithium complex thickener, combined with the additional tackiness additive, helps prevent water washout.
• Minimizes inventory costs
  Multipurpose capability allows use in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications, reducing the number of different greases required and eliminating product misapplication.

Approvals, Performance And Recommendations

Performance standards

• NLGI Service Category GC-LB
• Volvo Corporate standard STD 1277.2, lubricating grease 97720

Service Considerations

Although Starplex EP has a very high dropping point, which enables it to provide effective lubrication at temperatures well beyond those possible for conventional lithium soap greases, extended service at such elevated temperatures requires frequent relubrication to prevent oxidative degradation of the mineral base oil occurring.

Not recommended for constant-velocity joints on front wheel drive vehicles.
