Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0 is a high-performance synthetic grease specifically developed for use in environmentally sensitive applications. It is readily biodegradable and virtually non-toxic, meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) and EU Ecolabel requirements. The formulation is based on biodegradable saturated ester base oils combined with a lithium/calcium soap thickener to deliver reliable lubrication while reducing environmental impact.
One of the key benefits of Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0 is its excellent water resistance. The grease resists washout and maintains adhesion to metal surfaces even in wet or saltwater environments. This helps maintain lubrication film integrity, reduce re-greasing frequency and improve equipment reliability in marine and exposed operating conditions.
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0 also provides strong rust and corrosion protection. The formulation helps protect bearings, sliding surfaces and exposed components from moisture-related damage. This makes the product particularly suitable for equipment operating in harsh marine environments where water ingress and corrosion risks are common.
Another important advantage is its excellent adhesion and mechanical stability. The grease remains in place under load and resists softening or leakage, ensuring consistent lubrication performance. Its balanced formulation provides reliable extreme pressure performance and effective protection for components operating under moderate to heavy loads. The recommended working temperature range is approximately −25°C to +125°C, supporting reliable performance across varying environmental conditions.
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0 is recommended for a wide range of marine applications including rudder stocks, deck equipment, cranes, winches, wire ropes, open gears and general grease points. It is particularly suitable for applications where environmentally acceptable lubricants are required and where exposure to water, salt spray or wet operating conditions is expected.
Physical characteristics include NLGI 0 consistency with a base oil viscosity of approximately 320 mm²/s at 40°C. Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 0 has a dropping point of approximately 150°C and provides strong corrosion protection with excellent water washout resistance. The grease also delivers a four-ball weld load of approximately 160 kgf and reliable performance in wet operating conditions, supporting long service life in environmentally sensitive applications.
