Critical Operational Benefits

Rymax Lindax EP2 NLGI 2 is a high-quality, general-purpose lubricating grease engineered for demanding industrial and heavy-duty automotive environments. It is formulated using a stable lithium thickener and high-end virgin mineral oil, fortified with robust Extreme Pressure (EP) additives to ensure mechanical durability and operational uptime. This composition allows Lindax EP2 to deliver superior reliability across diverse applications without necessitating specialized, high-cost lubricants.

The following attributes make Lindax EP2 a cost-effective choice for procurement managers seeking verifiable performance:

Extreme Load Resistance: The inclusion of Extreme Pressure additives provides exceptional film strength, enabling the grease to withstand high unit pressures and severe shock loads often encountered in heavy machinery. This protection directly translates to extended component life.

• Universal Compatibility: As an NLGI 2 grade multipurpose grease, Lindax EP2 is suitable for lubricating a wide array of machinery components, specifically plain and rolling bearings, simplifying inventory and reducing the risk of lubricant misapplication.
• ^{Excellent Water Resistance: Excellent Water Resistance: The advanced lithium formula demonstrates good structural stability and high resistance to water wash-out. This characteristic is essential for maintaining bearing integrity and preventing corrosion in applications exposed to moisture or humid operating conditions.}
• ^{Wide Temperature Reliability: Lindax EP2 maintains stable consistency and performance across a broad operating range, officially rated from -30 °C up to 120 °C, with a maximum transient temperature limit of +130 °C. This stability minimizes the need for separate cold-start and high-temperature lubricants in standard operations.}

Detailed Applications and Use Cases (The "Where to Use It" Guide)

Rymax Lindax EP2 is suitable for applications that require a lithium-based, extreme-pressure NLGI 2 grease, particularly where resistance to heavy loading and water ingress is necessary.

• Industrial Applications: This product is ideal for use in heavily loaded antifriction and plain bearings, bushings, and pins within processing plants, manufacturing facilities, steel mills, and conveyor systems where high operational pressures are the norm. Its versatility makes it suitable for general plant-wide standardization efforts.
• Construction and Mining: In heavy-duty, off-highway equipment—including excavators, bulldozers, and loaders—Lindax EP2 is essential for lubricating critical components such as U-joints, tripod CV joints, drive shafts, king pins, and bucket pins, which face extreme dirt contamination and high shock loads.

• ^{Commercial Automotive: The grease is recommended for high-temperature applications within commercial vehicle fleets, including clutch release bearings, chassis joints, and general vehicle lubrication, meeting the heavy-duty requirements for extended road usage.}

Technical Specifications

The load-carrying ability is defined by the product’s Extreme Pressure (EP) rating. Lindax EP2 achieves a high 4-Ball Weld Load rating of 2600 N. This metric is a direct measure of how much pressure the grease film can withstand before component surfaces weld together. A 2600 N rating signifies superior film strength, meaning the grease is exceptionally engineered to protect metallic surfaces under severe shock loads and high sliding pressures. For operations, this translates directly into reduced component wear, fewer catastrophic failures, and significantly lower component replacement costs.

Furthermore, the thermal stability is validated by a high Dropping Point exceeding 180 °C. While the maximum recommended operating temperature is 120 °C, the dropping point confirms that the lithium thickener structure maintains its physical integrity well above typical operating limits, providing a safety margin against temporary heat spikes and preventing premature melting or structural breakdown under standard industrial heat stress.
