Texando FO 20 EP LF
Categories: Grease

Texando FO 20 EP LF is a premium, heavy duty industrial bearing grease suitable for use over a wide temperature range It is based on a calcium complex thickener, ISO 100 mineral oil, an extreme pressure additive, high temperature anti oxidants and corrosion inhibitors and is yellow brown in colour with a smooth, tacky texture.


RECOMMENDED FOR

Plain and anti friction bearings in high temperature industrial applications.

Rolling and casting machinery in steel and other metals manufacturing.

Rotary cement kiln shafts.

Extrusion presses, calenders and other rolling equipment in rubber, plastics and paper manufacturing.

Other industrial applications where equipment may be subject to high temperatures, heavy loads and/or water wash out.

Washing and pressing machines in commercial laundries.

Suitable for centralised lubrication systems.

Usable temperature range in continuous service is -30 to 145°C.
Maximum temperature for short term exposure is 250°C.


PRODUCT BENEFITS

Minimises downtime: Very high dropping point reduces leakage from bearings at elevated temperatures. Tacky calcium complex thickener resists wash out even under conditions of mildly acidic or alkaline boiling water.

Reduces running costs: Superior thermal and oxidative stability extends grease service life.

Saves on maintenance: EP additive protects against bearing wear in heavily loaded conditions. Effective rust and corrosion inhibitors protect bearing surfaces, even in conditions of severe water exposure.

Simplifies inventory: Multipurpose suitability over wide temperature range permits use in many industrial applications, reducing the number of different greases required.
