Extremely high melting point, lithium complex grease, designed for use in anti-friction bearings operating in high temperature conditions. Ideally suited for competition wheel bearing applications and chassis lubrication.
Which grease is best for bearings?
Lithium based greases are very popular as bearing grease due to their water resistance and performance characteristics in both high and low temperatures. Greases comprised of synthetic lubricating fluids perform well in extreme low and high temperature ranges.
What is EP grease used for?
EP grease is a grease designed for extreme pressure. Putting AP or MP grease in situations where the grease will be put under such high pressures may cause more wear to the machinery in the long run. However, EP grease can be used almost anywhere that AP or MP grease would be needed.
