Protect metal contact surfaces against wear, moisture, and corrosion with grease that fits the exact application
Grease remains longer at an assembly or bearing point than thin oil and can form a protective layer between moving metal parts. The right grease helps reduce friction, wear, and corrosion, but the wrong product can negatively affect seals, bearings, or tightening torques.
In this collection, you will find Xeramic Lithium Complex Grease EP-2 and Xeramic MoS2 EP-2 molybdenum grease. Both products have their own material composition and application. Therefore, select grease based on the maintenance manual and not just on general terms like universal or heavy duty.
Lithium complex grease is used for various bearings, shafts, hinge points, and assembly surfaces for which a water-resistant EP-2 grease is prescribed.
When assembling a shaft or spacer sleeve, often only a very thin layer is needed to limit corrosion and seizing. Too much grease attracts dirt and can end up on brakes, tires, or other unwanted places.
Molybdenum disulfide forms a strong lubricating film on metal contact surfaces and is suitable for selected heavily loaded sliding points and joints with high surface pressure.
Do not automatically use MoS2 grease in every bearing. Some roller bearings, couplings, and other systems require a different lubricant without solid components.
A motorcycle chain requires a lubricant suitable for rollers, bushings, and existing O-, X-, or other sealing rings. A general assembly grease is not automatically suitable for this.
Use a specific chain lubricant for a drive chain, such as a specially developed chain wax, and apply it carefully to a clean chain.
Grease on threads reduces friction and can therefore cause a much higher bolt tension at the same tightening torque. Only lubricate bolts when the manufacturer prescribes it.
Tightening torques for dry threads should not automatically be used on greased bolts or nuts.
Remove old, contaminated grease before applying a new layer. Do not mix different types of grease without knowing whether the thickeners and base oils are compatible.
Avoid any contact with brake discs, brake pads, tires, and friction material. Clean spilled grease immediately with a suitable product.
