Agip GREASE SM 2

Description

1.Agip GREASE SM 2: Durable, High-Performance EP Grease for Extreme Conditions

Agip GREASE SM 2 is a durable, extreme-pressure (EP) lubrication grease formulated by Eni for demanding industrial applications. Made of a quality mineral base oil and lithium soap thickener, enriched with finely dividing molybdenum disulfide, this smooth-textured, black grease excels in specific use cases—particularly bearings subjected to heavy mechanical, thermal, or vibrational stress

Designed to resolve common greasing challenges—such as inaccessible points, high washout, and lengthy relubrication cycles—Agip GREASE SM 2 forms a resilient film over metal surfaces, reducing friction and extending equipment lifespan.

2. Performance of Agip GREASE SM 2

• Extreme Pressure Protection: Timken OK load up to 45 lb; Four-ball weld load ~280 daN (ASTM D2596)

• Thermal Stability: NLGI Grade 2; works effectively from –20 °C to +120 °C running temps

• Water Washout Resistance: <1% loss at 38 °C (ASTM D1264); ideal for humid and wet environments

• Corrosion Protection: EMCOR 0/0 in distilled water; copper corrosion 1b

• Long Relubrication Intervals: Thanks to MoS₂, it protects even when grease is displaced

Compatibility Advice: Avoid mixing with incompatible greases; ideal for standalone use or with lithium-compatible products only.

3. Features

• Lithium Soap Thickener: Offers excellent structural strength at high temperatures

• Mineral Base Oil (160 mm²/s @40 °C): Balances fluidity and load-bearing capability

• Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂): A solid lubricating component that fills surface voids for extended service

• Smooth Black Paste: Ensures even application and high adhesion

• Water Resistance & Corrosion Blockade: Protects against moisture and electrolytes

• NLGI 2 Consistency: Suitable for manual and centralized greasing systems

4. Benefits

• Cost‑Effective: Reduces team hours and maintenance expenses

• Extended Equipment Life: Reduces friction under tough loads

• Water Durability: Maintains performance in wet environments

• Operational Reliability: Ensures bearings keep running even during lubrication delays

• Application Flexibility: Ideal for inaccessible spots or vibration-heavy machinery

8. Color

A rich, dark grey‑black hue that helps diagnose displacement or contamination quickly on application surfaces

9. API Classification

Not API-rated—classified by industrial grease standards (DIN/ISO). Not intended for engine or food-grade use.

10. Operating Temperatures

Effective use from −25 °C to +120 °C; dropping point 190 °C ensures stand-by lubrication well beyond.

11. Container Sizes

Available in 400 g cartridges, 1 kg tubs, 18 kg pails, and 180 kg drums. Contact us today for bulk deals, On Sale offers, and Best Price for industrial users.

12. Base Oil

Refined mineral paraffinic base oil, offering reliable viscosity and blending well with thickener and MoS₂ additive.

13. Recommendations

• Use in roller bearings, pins, tapered bearings, and vibrating equipment

• Ideal where relubrication is infrequent—start of shifts or inaccessible locations

• Suitable with centralized greasing systems—confirm component seal compatibility before mixing

14. Maintenance Conditions

• Storage: Room temperature (5–30 °C), sealed containers

• Application: Use clean grease guns to avoid contamination

• Performance in extremes: Stays stay in cold; remains tacky at high-load temps

• Disposal: Combustible, must be managed by licensed waste collectors

15. Applications

• Heavy machinery, earth-moving/mining equipment

• Construction cranes, vibration-heavy pumps

• Marine deck bearings, container handling

• Food & beverage (non-food contact zones needing durable grease)

• Wind turbines, conveyor sheaves, hammer mills—where moisture and load are factors

17. Price & Value

Agip GREASE SM 2 is affordable, especially when packaged in 18 kg or 180 kg containers. Contact us today for the best price and check for On Sale or Online Deals with volume discounts.

Comparison: Stands out over basic lithium greases with added MoS₂ and improved water/corrosion resistance—offering best value for heavy duty EP grease.

18. Reapplication Frequency

Depending on load, relubrication cycles may extend up to 6–8 weeks, especially in intermittent-use machinery—thanks to MoS₂ standby lubrication.

19. Drop Point

190 °C (ASTM D566)—indicates grease won’t melt prematurely, ensuring lubrication at elevated temperatures.

20. Viscosity

Base oil viscosity ~160 mm²/s @40 °C ensures excellent film thickness under pressure, while lithium thickener maintains structure.

21. Flash Point

While exact flash point isn’t published, combustibility guidelines apply; standard handling rules for combustible oils should be followed.
