Description
Castrol Spheerol™ EPL is a range of greases which comprises lithium based products, containing highly refined  mineral oils, fortified with extreme pressure (EP) additives as well as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.These greases  have been formulated with additives that provide good film strength under medium to high loads.

Application
The Spheerol EPL range comprises general purpose greases designed for plant wide lubrication. The range extends  from a NLGI 3 for general purpose bearing lubrication to a NLGI 00 (see separate data sheet) semi-fluid grease suitable  for centralised lubrication systems and grease filled gearboxes. These greases provide good protection against rust  and corrosion as well as resistance to water wash-out; which makes them particularly suitable for equipment where  moist or wet conditions are common.
The stiffer consistency afforded by an NLGI 3 grade makes this product particularly suitable for the lubrication of  bearings that are vertically mounted, or components exposed to a high degree of vibration. The good levels of resistance  to both corrosion and water wash-out, which makes this product suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions  are common.
The operating temperature range for this grease lies between - 25 °C and + 120 °C for Spheerol EPL 0,1 &2 and  between - 20 °C and + 120 °C for Spheerol EPL 3.

Advantages

• High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long lubricant life
• Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces
• Good water resistance – the grease film remains on the surface even in the presence of water
• Resistant to copper and steel corrosion – helps prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces
• Excellent EP and anti-wear properties – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps minimise bearing component wear
