UNIREX N 2 in an NLGI No. 2 grade and is preferred in most cases for application by hand packing or by grease gun.

UNIREX N 3 is an NLGI No. 3 grade often used for special applications such as sealed-for-life electric motor bearings, vertically mounted bearings, and higher-speed applications. UNIREX N greases are not intended to be used under extreme pressure conditions where extra anti-welding properties are required.

UNIREX N 2 meets the requirements of Lubricating Grease DIN 51825 - K2N - 20L and ISO L-XBDHA 2.

UNIREX N 3 meets the requirements of Lubricating Grease DIN 51825 - K3N - 20L and ISO L-XBDHA 3.

Features and Benefits

Unirex N greases exhibit excellent high and low temperature performance, resistance to water and corrosion, and long service life in a range of bearing applications.

• Excellent high-temperature performance

Lithium-complex thickener resists softening / running out of bearings at temperatures up to 190°C

• Outstanding grease life

Laboratory bearing rig tests show outstanding continuous lubrication performance at bearing temperatures of up to 140°C

• Very good low-temperature characteristics

Start-up power requirements are low at temperatures down to at least -20°C. Meets DIN 51825 low temperature torque requirements at -20°C

• Excellent mechanical stability

Exhibits excellent resistance to softening due to mechanical working

• Excellent water and corrosion resistance

Resists water washout and protects bearings against corrosion

• Excellent performance in high-speed applications

Channelling characteristics provide excellent performance in high- speed deep-groove ball bearings. Unirex N3 is recommended where DmN (mean bearing diameter X rpm) exceeds 360,000
