FAQ's of Ep 1 Grease Lithium Based Grease:
Q: How should EP 1 Grease be applied to industrial machinery or automotive parts?
A: Apply EP 1 Grease directly to clean surfaces of bearings, universal joints, or chassis components using a suitable grease gun or applicator. Ensure the old lubricant is removed for optimal adhesion and performance.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using lithium-based EP 1 Grease in equipment maintenance?
A: EP 1 Grease provides exceptional rust and corrosion protection, high load-carrying capability, and resistance to water washout. Its excellent shear stability helps extend the lifespan of machinery and minimizes downtime.
Q: When is it recommended to reapply EP 1 Grease during equipment servicing?
A: Reapplication intervals depend on operating conditions, but it is advisable to check and replenish grease during scheduled maintenance or if excessive wear, noise, or loss of lubrication is observed.
Q: Where can EP 1 Grease be used within industrial and automotive sectors?
A: This grease is ideal for use in bearings, universal joints, and chassis lubrication on a wide array of industrial machinery and vehicles, especially where high protection against rust and heavy loads is necessary.
Q: What is the proper process for storing EP 1 Grease to maintain its shelf life?
A: Store EP 1 Grease unopened in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage ensures the grease maintains its effectiveness for up to 24 months.
Q: How does EP 1 Grease perform under high temperatures and heavy loads?
A: With a drop point of 190C and a Timken OK load of 20 kg, EP 1 Grease maintains stability and provides reliable lubrication in environments subject to elevated temperatures and high mechanical stress.
