MAGNA ™ ALPHA EP GREASE
MAGNA™ ALPHA EP GREASE
MAGNA ™ ALPHA EP GREASE – is a multipurpose, extreme pressure (EP), lithium grease developed for use in a wide variety of industrial and automotive applications. It is a versatile, general-purpose
grease for use in applications where operating temperatures and loads are moderate. MAGNA ALPHA EP GREASE is manufactured with high quality base oils and a lithium 12- hydroxystearate soap thickener. It is fortified with EP and anti-wear additives plus rust and oxidation
inhibitors. It has good load carrying capacity to protect against wear and good oxidation resistance for long service life. It protects metal parts against rust and corrosion, and is resistant to water washout. It has good resistance to shearing and will not soften excessively during high-speed operation in rolling element bearings maintaining a good seal to minimize bearing contamination. MAGNA ALPHA EP GREASE is available in multiple grades for use in a wide variety of applications. It is an excellent grease for use in centralized lube systems. The semi-fluid grades may be used in
enclosed industrial gearboxes where oil leakage is a problem.

Features & Benefits
Good resistance to water washout
Enhanced anti-wear and EP (Extreme Pressure) qualities to resist wiping action
Outstanding structural stability – provides lubrication without softening or hardening
Highly effective in controlling rust, corrosion, and oxidation
Controlled oil bleeding – supplies the right amount of oil to form an EHL (Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication) film
Excellent shear stability and resistance to vibration
Applications
Provides outstanding high and low temperature protection ranging from-18 to 204 C in continuous operation. With its high thermal stability this product withstands high temperature generated during severe braking with disc brakes. It is recommended for use in all types of automotive and industrial bearing, gears and coupling where a general-purpose water-resistant EP grease is applicable.
