Synthplex 2 (Synthetic Grease)
Balmerol Synthplex 2 is a premium quality synthetic grease for extra heavy duty applications. It is based on highly shear stable Li-Complex soap thickener and a blend of high quality synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks. The unique physical properties of the synthetic base fluid attribute an excellent low and high temperature performance to the grease. The Li-complex soap thickener offers outstanding high temperature capabilities and high degree of mechanical stability for prolonged usage. The selected additive combination protects the bearing components from rust, wear, corrosion and improves the oxidation stability of the lubricant for long life performance.
Available Size:
500ml 1L 0.35l
Features & Benefits:
- Fully synthetic hydrocarbon base oil provides excellent low and high temperature properties, enhanced oxidation protection, increases the life of the grease and extends the re-lubrication intervals
- Lithium complex soap thickener attributes higher operating temperature (up to 180°C)
- Highly shear stable Li - complex soap thickener offers superior mechanical stability
- Selected additive combination provides protection against wear, rust and oxidation
- It possesses good water resistance property
- Operating temperature range – 50°C to + 180°C
Applications / Recommendations:
- It is recommended for automotive wheel hub bearing and chassis applications for long life performance.
- It is recommended for heavy duty industrial applications requiring long life performance for extended lubrication.
- It is a versatile product for both low and high temperature applications which cannot be met by mineral oil based greases.
