Anderol 86 EP-2 18 kg universal industrial NLGI 2 calcium sulfonate complex grease, high water and EP load resistance

Anderol 86 EP-2 18 kg is a universal industrial NLGI 2 grease based on calcium sulfonate complex technology, designed for operation under severe load, elevated temperature and water exposure. Thanks to its exceptional mechanical stability and very high resistance to water washout, it is an excellent choice for high-speed bearings, automotive wheel bearings and chassis components, as well as demanding industrial applications.

Advantages and unique features

• Very good mechanical stability, even at elevated temperatures and in the presence of water.
• Formulated to resist separation under centrifugal forces – ideal for high-speed bearings.
• Outstanding rust and corrosion protection and excellent performance in salt fog testing.
• High load carrying capability and effective wear protection under EP conditions.
• Minimal grease loss in water washout and spray-off tests, even at elevated temperature.
• Exceeds NLGI GC/LB requirements – suitable for automotive and truck wheel bearings and chassis components.
• Recommended for electric motor bearings and heavy-duty industrial applications, such as steel mill equipment.

Properties and applications

• Scope of use: rolling and plain bearings, wheel bearings and chassis components, electric motor bearings and heavy-duty industrial applications where high loads and water exposure are present.
• Calcium sulfonate complex technology: provides high load carrying performance, wear protection, excellent corrosion resistance and outstanding structural stability of the grease.
• Operation in harsh environments: very good resistance to water washout and spray-off, including at 80 °C, enables use in humid and wet conditions.
• High-temperature continuous service: long-term lubrication in the temperature range of approximately -20 °C to +160 °C, with short-term peak temperatures up to +200 °C.
• Stability in high-speed bearings: low bearing leakage, small consistency change and very good results in high-temperature bearing life tests.
• Plant-wide versatility: one grease for many lubrication points in the plant, simplifying lubricant management and reducing the risk of misapplication.

Technical data

Storage recommendations

Store Anderol 86 EP-2 in original, tightly closed containers in a dry and clean area, preferably under cover to minimise the risk of contamination. Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight and contact with open flames – greases are not highly flammable but will burn. Do not transfer the grease into dirty containers and do not reuse empty drums; they should be flushed and sent to a reconditioner in accordance with local regulations.

FAQ

1) What applications is Anderol 86 EP-2 18 kg suitable for?
The grease is intended for rolling and plain bearings, wheel bearings and chassis components, electric motor bearings and heavy-duty industrial applications such as steel mill equipment.

2) What is the operating temperature range of Anderol 86 EP-2?
For long-term lubrication, the recommended range is approximately -20 °C to +160 °C, with short-term peak temperatures up to +200 °C.

3) Can Anderol 86 EP-2 replace lithium complex greases?
The calcium sulfonate complex technology used in Anderol 86 EP-2 matches or outperforms lithium complex greases in terms of mechanical stability, load carrying capability, water resistance and high-temperature performance, so it can be used as a replacement for many premium greases.

4) Is Anderol 86 EP-2 suitable for high-speed bearings?
Yes, the grease is formulated to resist separation under centrifugal forces and exceeds NLGI GC/LB requirements, making it suitable for high-speed applications including automotive and truck wheel bearings.

5) How should leftover grease and empty containers be handled?
Residual grease should be removed mechanically and empty containers should be sent for recycling or disposal in accordance with local regulations – do not dispose of them with household waste or burn them in uncontrolled conditions.
