Request Bulk QuoteMobilith SHC Series — PAO Synthetic Lithium Complex Grease
Superior performance synthetic greases combining PAO base oils with lithium complex thickener. Dropping point 265°C · Colour red · Wide temperature range performance from -40°C to 150°C. The correct choice for electric motor bearings, McCloskey crusher bearings, marine applications and heavily loaded slow-speed bearings where mineral greases cannot provide adequate service life.
Mobilith SHC 100 — NLGI 2
Antiwear and EP grease specifically recommended for electric motor bearings. ISO VG 100 base oil matched to high-speed bearing requirements — providing adequate film without churning heat. VI 175 · -40°C to 150°C · Extended relubrication intervals.
View Product →Mobilith SHC 220 — NLGI 2
Multi-purpose heavy-duty EP grease for industrial and automotive applications. Recommended for McCloskey crusher bearings, mining equipment bearings, construction machinery and heavy fleet wheel bearings. ISO VG 220 base oil · VI 179 · -40°C to 150°C.
View Product →Mobilith SHC 460 — NLGI 1.5
Tough industrial and marine grease for heavily loaded slow-to-moderate speed bearings where water resistance is critical. Outstanding performance in steel mills, paper mills and marine deck machinery. ISO VG 460 base oil · VI 188 · -30°C to 150°C.
View Product →Mobilgrease XHP & Centaur XHP — Lithium Complex EP
Extended service life lithium complex EP greases for general industrial, mining and marine applications. Outstanding water resistance, oxidation stability and mechanical shear resistance across a wide range of bearing types and operating conditions.
Mobilgrease XHP 222 — NLGI 2
General-purpose NLGI 2 lithium complex EP grease for industrial bearings, pins and bushings across manufacturing, construction and fleet applications. Outstanding water resistance and mechanical stability for general industrial use.
View Product →Mobilgrease XHP 322 Mine — 5% MoS2
High-performance mining grease with 5% molybdenum disulfide for shock-loaded applications. Specifically formulated for crusher pins, bucket pins and heavily loaded mining equipment bearings where shock loading and boundary lubrication conditions prevail.
View Product →Mobil Centaur XHP 462 — Marine NLGI 1.5
Heavy-duty marine EP grease for deck machinery, wire rope, winches and offshore equipment in demanding seawater environments. Outstanding water washout resistance and corrosion protection for marine and coastal industrial applications.
View Product →Specialty Greases — High Temperature & Extended Service
For applications exceeding the performance limits of standard lithium complex EP greases — oven and dryer bearings, extreme high-temperature electric motors and applications requiring specialised synthetic formulations with long relubrication intervals.
Mobil Unirex N2 — Polyurea NLGI 2
High-performance polyurea grease for electric motors and bearings operating at elevated temperatures where lithium complex greases degrade prematurely. Excellent oxidation resistance and long service life at high temperatures. Incompatible with lithium greases — purge bearing before switching.
View Product →Mobiltemp SHC 100 — Extreme Temp
Exceptional performance synthetic grease for extreme high and low temperature applications where standard greases fail. Extended relubrication intervals at extreme temperatures — oven bearings, dryer rolls and high-temperature processing plant applications.
View Product →Mobilux EP3 — NLGI 3
NLGI 3 consistency EP grease for applications requiring a firmer grade — vertical shaft bearings, high-speed bearings prone to grease throw-off and centralised systems designed for NLGI 3. General-purpose lithium EP performance in a firmer consistency.

Grease Selection — What to Consider
Base Oil Viscosity
The base oil viscosity must match the bearing speed and load — not just the NLGI grade. Mobilith SHC 100 (ISO VG 100) is correct for electric motors. Mobilith SHC 460 (ISO VG 460) is correct for slow-speed heavy-load bearings. Using the wrong viscosity causes film failure or churning heat.
Thickener Compatibility
Never mix greases with different thickener types without purging the bearing housing. Lithium complex and polyurea thickeners are incompatible — mixing them causes rapid grease breakdown and bearing failure. When switching grease type, always flush the old grease out completely before refilling.
NLGI Consistency Grade
NLGI 2 is the standard grade for most industrial bearings and is compatible with standard grease guns. NLGI 1.5 provides better pumpability for remote or automatic lubrication systems. NLGI 3 is firmer — used for vertical shafts or high-speed bearings prone to throw-off. Always confirm OEM specification.
