Product Description
Chvetol Multipurpose Grease 2 & 3 are superior quality lithium base greases, having excellent thermal and structural stability along with excellent resistance to water. The combination of high quality basestock with synergistic blend of antioxidants, rust inhibitors, etc. makes the greases suited to a wide range of usage areas. Chevetol Multipurpose Grease No. 2 & No. 3 are available in NLGI 2 & 3 consistency respectively.
Applications / Recommendations
Chevetol Multipurpose greases are recommended for multipurpose automotive applications such as wheel bearings, chassis points, as well as for industrial applications like water pump bearings, machine tools, grease lubricated gears, couplings and universal joints. Chevetol Multipurpose Grease 2 is pumpable and can be dispensed by centralized greasing systems and is recommended for all general grease lubrication areas. Chevetol Multipurpose Grease 3 is recommended for wheel bearings, due to its excellent resistance to shearing
