Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 is a high-performance synthetic grease developed for use in environmentally sensitive applications where biodegradable and non-toxic lubricants are required. It meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) and EU Ecolabel requirements, making it suitable for marine and offshore equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas. The formulation is based on biodegradable saturated ester base oils combined with a lithium/calcium soap thickener to provide dependable lubrication and reduced environmental impact.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 is its excellent resistance to water washout and strong adhesion to metal surfaces. The grease maintains lubrication film integrity in wet and saltwater environments, helping reduce re-greasing frequency and improving reliability of exposed components. This makes it particularly suitable for marine equipment operating in harsh conditions.
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 also provides excellent rust and corrosion protection. The formulation helps protect bearings, sliding surfaces and exposed components from moisture-related damage, supporting longer equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements. Its strong mechanical stability helps the grease remain in place under load and resist leakage or softening during operation.
Another important benefit is its reliable extreme pressure performance. Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 is designed to protect components operating under moderate to heavy loads while maintaining consistent lubrication. The grease also offers excellent water resistance and saltwater corrosion protection, making it well suited for equipment exposed to marine environments. The recommended working temperature range is approximately −25°C to +125°C, supporting reliable performance across varying operating conditions.
Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 is recommended for a wide range of applications including rudder stocks, cranes, deck winches, wire ropes, open gears and general grease points. It is particularly suitable for marine equipment and applications where environmentally acceptable lubricants are required and where exposure to water, salt spray or wet operating conditions is expected.
Physical characteristics include NLGI 2 consistency with a base oil viscosity of approximately 320 mm²/s at 40°C. Mobil SHC Aware Grease EP 2 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 400 kgf and reliable performance in wet operating conditions, supporting long service life in environmentally sensitive applications.
