Overview

CASTROL SPHEEROL EPL 3

Bearing grease

Application CASTROL SPHEEROL EPL 3

The Castrol Spheerol EPL 3 comprises general purpose greases designed for plant wide lubrication. The range extends from a Castrol Spheerol EPL 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.

Castrol Spheerol EPL 3 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 a Castrol Spheerol EPL 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.

Details

Performance, Features & Benefits of CASTROL SPHEEROL EPL 3 are:

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

Additional Information

In order to minimise potential incompatibilities when converting to a new grease, all previous lubricant should be removed as much as possible prior to operation. During initial operation, relubrication intervals should be monitored closely to ensure all previous lubricant is purged.

Storage

All packages of Castrol Spheerol EPL 3 should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Castrol Spheerol EPL 3 should not be stored above 60°C, exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
