FAQs of Ep 1 Grease Lithium Based Grease 18 KG:
Q: How is EP 1 Lithium Based Grease typically applied in industrial machinery?
A: EP 1 Grease is generally applied using manual or automatic grease guns, ensuring direct delivery to bearings, chassis, and other lubrication points. Its smooth texture and NLGI Grade 1 consistency allow for easy spread and penetration during maintenance routines.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using EP 1 Grease for industrial applications?
A: This grease offers excellent corrosion resistance, good water washout protection, and high shear stability, resulting in extended component life, reduced maintenance frequency, and reliable performance under variable operating conditions.
Q: Where should EP 1 Grease be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: EP 1 Grease should be kept in a cool, dry, and sealed environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Unopened buckets have a storage life of up to 12 months.
Q: When is it appropriate to use EP 1 Grease based on its temperature specifications?
A: EP 1 Grease is ideal for applications operating in temperatures between -20C and +130C. Avoid usage beyond this range to maintain optimal grease performance and prevent breakdown.
Q: What is the recommended process for replacing old grease with EP 1 Grease?
A: Remove any residual or old grease from lubrication points, clean surfaces if possible, then apply EP 1 Grease until fresh lubricant appears at the outlet. This ensures complete coverage and protection for all moving parts.
Q: Which types of vehicles and machinery are compatible with EP 1 Grease?
A: EP 1 Grease is suitable for commercial vehicles, industrial machinery, bearings, and chassis lubrication. Its mineral oil base and specific formulation make it adaptable to various heavy-duty and general industrial environments.
Q: How does EP 1 Grease enhance the reliability of equipment under water exposure?
A: With its good water washout performance and low water content, EP 1 Grease maintains its lubricating properties and film strength even when exposed to water, protecting equipment from wear and corrosion.
