CASTROL SPHEEROL LMM (MULTI -PURPOSE MOLY GREASE)

GZ Industrial Supplies is the distributor and supplier of Castrol Lubricant in Nigeria. Castrol Spheerol LMM is a multi-purpose lithium grease containing molybdenum disulphide solid lubricant to enhance its load carrying properties under conditions of high or shock loading or to prevent scuffing or fretting. It contains oxidation and corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear additives, has good mechanical stability and can be used in the presence of moisture.

Application

The incorporation of solid lubricant in Spheerol LMM greases makes this grease particularly suited for the lubrication of reciprocating and sliding motion elements, where the prevention of scuffing and fretting is desirable. Typical applications include pivot pins, cams, screws, splined shafts, slides, flexible joints (ball, universal, CV joints etc.). It is also useful for the lubrication of chains, swivels and shackles to prevent scuffing.

Features and Benefits

• Good load carrying capacity – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps prevents damage caused by shock loading and excessive vibration 
• Resistance to scuffing and fretting – provides protection against fretting that can occur on splined shafts, pivot pins and other parts subject to reciprocating and sliding motion
• 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
• High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long term protection
• Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surface
