EP2 Grease South Africa
EP2 Grease South Africa — Authorised Mobil Distributor
General-purpose NLGI 2 grease for bearings, pins and bushings across industrial, agricultural and mobile equipment. Authorised Mobil supply across the Western Cape.
Request Bulk PricingEP2 grease refers to a grease with an NLGI 2 consistency — the most commonly used grade for general lubrication. It provides a balance between pumpability and staying in place, making it suitable for a wide range of equipment used across South African industrial, agricultural, and construction environments. It is important to note that EP2 describes consistency rather than performance level. In higher load or more demanding conditions, lithium complex or molybdenum-based greases are typically specified for improved protection.
Available EP2 Greases
Mobilgrease XHP 222
Lithium complex EP2 grease designed for extended service life and improved resistance to water and load. Suitable for a wide range of industrial bearing applications.
View Product →Mobilgrease XHP 462
Higher viscosity EP grease for heavier duty applications requiring improved load-carrying capability where standard EP2 grades may be insufficient.
View Product →Mobilgrease XHP 322 Mine
High-performance EP grease specifically formulated for mining applications involving shock loading, heavy loads and arduous operating conditions where standard EP2 grease is insufficient.
View Product →Typical EP2 Grease Applications
Electric Motors & Pumps
Rolling element bearings in electric motors and pumps operating under moderate load and temperature conditions in manufacturing and processing plants.
Construction & Earthmoving
Pins and bushings in construction and earthmoving equipment subject to general loading conditions where a standard NLGI 2 grease is specified by the OEM.
Agricultural Machinery
General lubrication of agricultural equipment operating in dusty, outdoor environments across South African farming operations.
General Plant & Fleet
Chassis lubrication, general mechanical components and plant equipment requiring a standard multi-purpose grease for routine maintenance programmes.
Understanding EP2 Grease Grades
What EP2 Means
EP2 grease refers to an extreme pressure grease with NLGI 2 consistency. The NLGI grade defines thickness rather than performance level — EP2 is the standard general-purpose grade used in most industrial applications.
EP1 vs EP2 vs EP3
The primary difference between NLGI grades is consistency. EP2 is the most commonly specified grade, balancing pumpability and retention in bearings. EP1 is softer and EP3 is firmer — both suit specific centralised lubrication systems.
When to Upgrade from EP2
More demanding environments such as mining, construction under shock loading, or high-temperature applications typically require lithium complex or molybdenum-based greases for improved protection beyond standard EP2.
Grease Selection Guidance
Selecting the correct grease requires matching the thickener type, base oil viscosity, NLGI grade and additive package to your equipment's operating conditions. Our technical team provides OEM cross-referencing and application-specific guidance.
EP2 Grease Supply — Western Cape, South Africa
Orbit Industrial Supplies is an authorised Mobil distributor supplying EP2 greases including Mobilgrease XHP 222, XHP 462 and XHP 322 Mine to industrial, agricultural, construction and fleet operations across the Western Cape, Northern Cape, Garden Route and Gauteng. As an authorised distributor we stock genuine Mobilgrease products at competitive wholesale pricing — with bulk drum and cartridge supply available for high-volume maintenance operations.
The NLGI 2 consistency used in EP2 grease allows it to remain stable in bearings while still being workable through standard grease guns. In more demanding environments, higher-performance grease types such as lithium complex greases and molybdenum-based greases are typically required.
