A lithium complex grease formulated with
high viscosity base oils, EP additives, rust and oxidation
inhibitors and Molybdenum disulfide.
Strong tackiness promotes good adherence. Designed for slow to
medium speed bearings. Suitable for heavy-duty industrial, mining,
construction and agricultural equipment, particularly where high
loads and shock loads are encountered.
APPLICATIONS
• Mining, earthmoving and quarrying
• Construction equipment
• Agricultural equipment
• Centralized lubrication systems
• Heavy-duty industrial greasing
• Industrial plain and rolling element bearings
Usable temperature range in continuous service is -20 to
130°C
Maximum temperature for short term exposure is 220°C.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Meets the requirements of Komatsu Mining Germany GmbH works
standard
BENEFITS
Saves maintenance costs
Effective EP additive, high base fluid viscosity and molybdenum
disulfide solid lubricant film protect against component wear under
severe and shock loading. Rust and corrosion inhibitors protect
metal surfaces, even in conditions of severe water exposure.
Minimises losses
Heavy base oil and tackiness minimises leakage and fling off and
provides superior adhesion on pins and shackle joints. High
dropping point minimizes leakage at elevated temperatures
Minimises downtime
Excellent oxidation resistance ensures long grease life. Natural
water resistance of the lithium complex thickener, very effective
tackiness properties and the additional molybdenum disulfide solid
film lubricant prevent lubricant failure, even under the wettest
conditions.
Ease of Application
Good pumpability characteristics of the lithium complex thickener
provide suitable flow properties for most centralized lubrication
system applications.
Minimizes inventory costs
Multipurpose capability allows use in a wide range of heavy-duty
industrial applications where a higher oil viscosity is
preferred.

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS
The inclusion of molybdenum disulfide provides an extra measure of
protection under shock loading which is very common in
construction, off-highway transport, and agricultural usage.
During heavy shock loading, the lubricant film between metal
surfaces can be temporarily ruptured or squeezed out. When
using Mine Grease Premium, some molybdenum disulfide stays in place
as a solid film lubricant to protect metal surfaces, even under
extreme shock loading conditions, preventing metal-to-metal contact
which could cause component damage. The presence of
molybdenum disulfide is also valuable in dirty environments, or
when proper re-greasing intervals cannot be followed.
Not recommended for constant-velocity joints on front wheel drive
vehicles.
