SKF LUBRICANT - LGHB2/180

SKF LGHB 2 grease is designed for applications subjected to heavy loads and extreme temperatures. Thanks to its formulation based on mineral oil and a complex calcium sulfonate thickener, it ensures optimal protection even in the most demanding environments, such as the cement, mining, and metallurgy industries, where reliability and durability are essential.

Features:
SKF LGHB 2 grease is designed to meet the needs of equipment operating under severe thermal and mechanical stresses. Free of additives, its soap-thickened structure provides excellent performance under extreme pressure. It ensures excellent mechanical stability, even at high temperatures, and effectively resists water ingress, oxidation, and corrosion. It also stands out for its reliable pumpability, even in single-point lubrication systems, and for its extended service life in bearings exposed to severe conditions.
