All UNIREX grades have wide operating anddispensing temperature ranges with specificgrades available for either extremely hot or coldconditions.
UNIREX greases provide superior protectionagainst rust and metal corrosion as determinedusing ASTM D1743 and a 24-hour CopperCorrosion test at 100°C.
UNIREX greases have good high temperaturestability. This feature significantly extendsgreasing interval requirements.
All UNIREX EP greases contain additivescombining extreme pressure resistance and wearprotection under severe shock loadingconditions. See the Timken Load and 4-BallWear/EP data on the Typical Properties table.
UNIREX EP 1 and UNIREX EP 2 have highLoad Wear Index and Weld Point characteristicsas determined by ASTM D 2596 and areespecially recommended for the lubrication ofheavy duty ball and roller bearings in shovels,drag lines, and drills for open pit mine service.
Applications: The UNIREX EP* brand represents a line ofextremely versatile, long-life bearing greases.They are well-proven, superb performerssuitable for use in a variety of industrialapplications. They offer the following featuresand benefits:
Each of the seven grades is formulatedusing an advanced lithium complex soapthickener.
Five grades are formulated using leadingedgepolymer enrichment technology.This enhances the already excellentadhesion tendency and water washoutresistance of the product line.
Unirex brand greases continue to be thebenchmark against which other premiumquality lithium complex greases arecompared.
UNIREX EP 1 grease is a general-purposegrease with a NLGI consistency rating of 1. It isproven as an excellent general purpose greasefor heavy duty service including construction,mining, logging, cement and paper-making; allapplications that can be extremely wet. Polymerenriched UNIREX EP 1 dispenses easily throughgrease guns or in most automatic systems underaverage equipment conditions as low as -15°C.Excellent load-carrying and anti-wear propertiescombine to ensure UNIREX EP 1 grease iscapable of protecting shock loaded bearings tothe limits of the metal's capacity for severevibration and impact loads. UNIREX EP 1 isImperial Oil's first recommendation for greaselubricated double spherical roller bearings. It ishighly recommended for gear-type flexiblecouplings, where grease is specified.
