SKF India announced the launch of its new and indigenous grease LNEP2IN. This is specially formulated to increase the service life of bearings operating in demanding environments.

LNEP 2IN is a ?high-load-extreme-pressure-bearing? grease which provides good mechanical stability with superior water resistance and corrosion protection, according to the company. It is a mineral oil-based lithium soap thickened grease with anti-wear additives that give it a high weld load rating. This makes it suitable for medium and large size bearings running at low to normal speeds. The mechanical stability of LNEP 2IN ensures that the grease is not ejected or does not lose its consistency during machine vibrations. The corrosion inhibiting properties of this grease provide rust protection during water contamination in bearings.

This is suitable for a wide range of applications right from material handling, cement, steel, power, general engineering and sugar industry. This product is ideal for harsh operating conditions like in construction and earthmoving equipment, conveyors, slewing bearings and crane wheels. This product is available through the company?s authorised industrial distribution network and for OE requirements it can be procured from SKF directly.
