Mobilgrease XHP™ 222
Premium Lithium Complex EP Grease | NLGI 2 | Marine Deck Machinery & Industrial Bearings
Marine-Grade Water Washout Resistance — Distinctive Blue Colour
Mobilgrease XHP 222 is the NLGI 2 grade in ExxonMobil's XHP 220 Series — a premium lithium complex EP grease specifically engineered for marine deck machinery, winches, windlasses and industrial applications where superior water resistance, extreme pressure performance and long relubrication intervals are required.
The XHP 222 outperforms conventional lithium EP greases across all key marine performance dimensions — water resistance, rust and corrosion protection, structural stability, oil control and EP/AW performance. The distinctive dark blue colour allows operators to immediately verify full coverage and detect cross-contamination with other greases — a practical advantage on vessels and offshore installations carrying multiple lubricant grades. Significantly higher performance than conventional lithium EP greases across the full marine operating environment.
Product Overview
Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 is a premium lithium complex grease with extreme pressure (EP) additives, formulated for superior performance in marine deck machinery and a wide range of heavy-duty industrial bearing applications. The NLGI 2 consistency makes it the most widely specified grade in the XHP 220 Series — covering deck winches and windlasses, electrical motor bearings, general deck grease applications and industrial bearings operating under heavy load, high temperature and water exposure.
The lithium complex thickener system delivers a dropping point of 280°C — substantially higher than conventional lithium soap greases — combined with excellent mechanical stability that resists softening and leakage at elevated operating temperatures. The EP additive package provides a four-ball weld point of 315 kg, protecting bearings, pins and bushings under shock loads and sustained heavy loading on marine deck equipment.
Available in 18kg pail and 180kg drum from Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil sales agent, South Africa. Port supply through Cape Town, Saldanha Bay, Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Performance Benefits
Superior Water Washout Resistance
Excellent adhesion and cohesion properties resist water washout and ingress — keeping the grease in the bearing under the continuous water spray and wash conditions of marine deck machinery, winches, windlasses and offshore equipment operating in the marine environment.
Extreme Pressure Protection — 315 kg Weld Point
Four-ball weld point of 315 kg provides outstanding EP protection for heavily loaded bearings, pins and bushings under shock loads — protecting marine deck machinery components under the severe loading conditions of anchor handling, mooring and cargo operations.
High Dropping Point — 280°C
280°C dropping point — far above operating temperatures encountered in marine and industrial bearing applications — ensures the grease maintains its structural integrity at elevated temperatures, preventing the grease run-out that causes rapid bearing failure at high operating speed or load.
Excellent Rust & Corrosion Protection
Passes ASTM D1743 corrosion test — provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion for bearing surfaces and housing components in the salt-laden marine environment. Prevents the accelerated corrosion failure that conventional greases suffer when exposed to seawater ingress.
Extended Relubrication Intervals
Outstanding endurance and leakage control enables extended relubrication intervals — reducing the maintenance frequency and associated cost and downtime on marine deck machinery where relubrication requires crew time and equipment shutdown.
Distinctive Blue Colour — Easy Verification
The distinctive dark blue colour allows operators to immediately verify full bearing and fitting coverage during relubrication — and to identify any cross-contamination with other lubricants. A practical advantage on vessels carrying multiple grease grades where misapplication risk is real.
Recommended Applications
Marine Deck Machinery
Winches, windlasses, mooring equipment, capstans and all deck grease applications — the primary recommended application in the marine environment where water washout resistance, EP performance and corrosion protection are all required simultaneously.
Electric Motor Bearings
Specifically recommended for electric motor bearings in marine and industrial applications — where the lithium complex formulation provides the correct combination of high dropping point, mechanical stability and bearing protection for motor bearing applications.
Offshore & Marine Industrial
Offshore platform deck equipment, FPSO mooring systems, subsea handling equipment and general marine industrial bearings operating in the marine environment where saltwater exposure, heavy loading and extended service intervals are the primary lubrication challenges.
General Industrial Bearings
Plain and rolling element bearings in industrial equipment operating in wet, humid or contaminated environments — mining, processing plant, food production and any application where conventional lithium EP greases are not meeting performance expectations for water resistance.
