Shell Alvania Grease EP3

Description

Product Description

Shell Alvania Grease EP3 is a premium-quality, multipurpose extreme-pressure grease designed to provide outstanding lubrication and protection. Formulated with a lithium 12-hydroxystearate soap thickener, this brown-colored grease offers excellent load-carrying properties and corrosion resistance. Whether you’re in the steel, paper, mining, quarrying, or construction industries, Shell Alvania Grease EP3 has you covered.

Performance of Shell Alvania Grease EP3

• Outstanding Load Carrying Capacity: Thanks to special extreme-pressure additives, this grease can withstand heavy and shock loads without compromising the lubricant film.
• Superior Mechanical Stability: Compared to traditional “leaded” Alvania greases, EP3 exhibits improved resistance to extended mechanical working, making it ideal for vibrating environments.
• Excellent Water Wash-Out Resistance: EP3 offers significantly better water wash-out resistance than its predecessors.
• Oxidation Stability: The selected base oil components ensure consistent performance even at high operating temperatures.
• Corrosion Protection: Shell Alvania Grease EP3 has a strong affinity with metal, safeguarding bearing surfaces against corrosion, even when contaminated with water.
