BIOGREASE EP2

Part no: 25892

Environmentally Acceptable Grease combining corrosion protection with excellent resistance to wash off from rain and seawater

  • Excellent resistance to water wash off
  • Long lasting corrosion protection
  • Good load carrying properties
  • NLGI 2

For deck equipment, wire ropes and rudder stocks

BIOGREASE EP2 is a Lithium/Calcium thickened lubricating grease based on fully saturated synthetic esters. It offers improved operation and lower environmental risk leading to overall cost savings.

BIOGREASE EP2 is designed for use in sensitive marine environments and can be used in a variety of marine applications which demand a NLGI 2 grease.  It is primarily used for the lubrication of bearings and as a protective coating for exposed equipment where there is a potential for loss to occur, for example from wire ropes, winches, rudder stocks or deck equipment.VICKERLUBE BIO LV WRL is designed for use on wire ropes in applications where biodegradability is a concern or a necessity.

BIOGREASE EP2 may be applied manually or by suitable mechanical applicators (e.g. grease compressor).  The grease also has a wide operating temperature with a lower working temperature of -25°C and an upper temperature of +130°C.
