Features and Potential Benefits
Unirex S 2 grease is specially developed for high temperature applications where mineral oil based greases may not provide adequate protection. The ester base fluid has a low volatility at the working temperatures involved, this can lead to long grease life when compared to a conventional mineral oil product. Unirex S 2 is suitable for high temperature operations where frequent relubrication is not practical.
This product offers the following performance features:
Applications
Application notes: The ester base oil of Unirex S 2 is not compatible with many common elastomer seal materials. For example, it may cause a softening or swelling of NBR seals. It is recommended that the equipment manufacturer or your ExxonMobil representative be consulted regarding seal compatibility in a specific application.
Unirex S 2 is recommended by ExxonMobil for severe applications including:
Conveyor bearings in kilns and ovens Steel mill ladle bearings Jet aircraft starter clutch assemblies Critical oven bearings in Fiberglas manufacture
