Mobil SHC Polyrex 005
Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 is a high-performance synthetic polyurea grease developed to solve high-temperature lubrication challenges in both general industry and food processing applications. It is formulated using advanced polyurea thickener technology combined with synthetic base oils to provide excellent thermal stability, water resistance and balanced wear protection. The grease is NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact and manufactured in ISO 22000 certified facilities, supporting use in sensitive food and beverage processing environments.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 is its outstanding high-temperature performance. The synthetic formulation resists oxidation and maintains structural stability at temperatures up to approximately 170°C, helping extend relubrication intervals and maintain equipment protection. The grease also provides excellent load-carrying capability, helping reduce bearing wear under heavy operating conditions.
Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 also offers excellent water resistance and corrosion protection. These characteristics help reduce lubricant consumption and protect components in wet or humid environments and applications where washdowns are frequent. The polyurea thickener system helps maintain grease consistency, ensuring reliable lubrication performance even in harsh operating conditions.
Another important benefit is its NLGI 00 consistency, which provides excellent pumpability and mobility. This makes Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 particularly suitable for centralised lubrication systems, including those operating in low ambient temperatures. It is also suitable for enclosed gear lubrication where oil leakage may be a concern. The recommended operating temperature range is approximately −30°C to 170°C.
Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 is recommended for centralised grease systems in food processing equipment, freezer applications and outdoor machinery requiring reliable low-temperature mobility. It can also be used for enclosed gears and other applications requiring semi-fluid grease with high-temperature capability and food-grade registration.
Physical characteristics include NLGI 00 consistency with a polyurea thickener and base oil viscosity of approximately 220 mm²/s at 40°C and 30 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC Polyrex 005 has a dropping point of approximately 260°C and provides excellent corrosion protection, strong load-carrying capability and reliable performance in centralised lubrication systems.
