Shell Alvania Greases EP(LF) offer the excellent performance
expected of theworld's leading brand of grease.
They are premier quality, multipurpose, extreme-pressure
industrial greasesbased on a blend of high viscosity index mineral
oils and a lithiumhydroxystreate soap thickener and contain lead
free extreme-pressure and
other proven additives.Shell Alvania Greases EP(LF) are designed
for the grease lubrication of rollingelement and plain bearings
such as those found in the steel, paper, mining,quarrying and
construction industries.
Applications
Shell Alvania Greases EP(LF) 0 & 00 arespecifically designed
for:
Steel mill lubrication where a softer greaseis necessary for
specialised dispensingsystems.
Heavy duty plain and rolling elementbearings operating under
severeconditions including shock loading in wetenvironments
Gearbox applications where semi-fluidgreases are required
Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 1 is designed for:
Heavy duty bearings served by centraliseddispensing
equipment
Extreme-pressure gear grease for
applications at normal ambienttemperature
Heavy duty plain and rolling elementbearings operating under
severeconditions including shock loading in wetenvironments
Low temperature greasing applications
Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 2 & 3
are designed for:
Heavy duty bearings and general industriallubrication
Heavy duty plain and rolling elementbearings operating under
severe
conditions including shock loading in wetenvironments
Operation over the temperature range -20C to 100C for bearings
operating at75% of the maximum rated speed (Canwithstand up to 120C
intermittently)
Performance Features
Outstanding load carrying capacityShell Alvania Greases EP(LF)
containspecial extreme-pressure additives whichenable them to
withstand heavy and
shock loads without failure of the lubricantfilm.
Superior mechanical stabilityCompared to 'leaded' Alvania,
theresistance to extended mechanical workingis significantly
improved. This isparticularly important in vibratingenvironments
where poor mechanicalstability can lead to grease softening
withsubsequent loss of lubrication performanceand leakage.

Excellent resistance to water wash-outShell Alvania Greases
EP(LF) have beenformulated to offer much improved levelsof
resistance to water wash-out comparedto the old leaded product.
Oxidation stabilitySpecially selected base oil componentshave
excellent oxidation resistance. Theirconsistency will not alter in
storage andthey withstand high operatingtemperatures without
hardening orforming bearing deposits
Excellent corrosion protectionShell Alvania Greases EP(LF) have
astrong affinity with metal and have theability to protect bearing
surfaces againstcorrosion, even when the grease iscontaminated with
water.
Performance SpecificationsMeet the British Timken specification
for SteelMill applications
Re-greasing Intervals
For bearings operating near their maximumrecommended
temperatures, re-greasingintervals should be reviewed
Health & SafetyShell Alvania Greases EP(LF) are unlikely
topresent any significant health or safety hazardwhen properly used
in the recommendedapplication, and good standards of industrialand
personal hygiene are maintained.
