Biodegradable grease
SKF LGGB 2 is a biodegradable, low toxicity, synthetic ester oil based grease, using a lithium-calcium thickener. Its special formulation makes it most suitable for applications where environmental contamination is a concern.
Good performance in applications with steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings, ball bearings and roller bearings
Good low temperature start-up performance
Good corrosion inhibiting properties
Suitable for medium to high loads
Typical applications:
Agricultural and forestry equipment
Construction and earthmoving equipment
Mining and conveying equipment
Water treatment and irrigation
Locks, dams, bridges
Linkages, rod ends
