SHELL ALVANIA RL - Lithium Hydroxystearate Multi-purpose Greases


DESCRIPTION Shell Alvania RL is a range of high performance multi-purpose industrial greases based on a new Lithium Hydroxystearate soap thickener fortified with anti-oxidant, anti-wear & anti-rust additives. Alvania RL greases offer very significant advantages over conventional Lithium greases at high temperature or in the presence of water. FEATURES Reliable high temperature performance, longer bearing life Excellent resistance to moisture & oxidisation with good mechanical stability - NO LEAKAGE KEY INDUSTRIAL SECTORS & APPLICATIONS Shell Alvania RL1 - A soft consistency grease suitable for centrally lubricated equipment & lightly loaded gearbox applications operating at normal ambient temperatures. Shell Alvania RL2 - A medium consistency grease designed mainly for industrial lubrication. Ideal for centrally lubricated systems operating at normal ambient temperatures. Shell Alvania RL3 - A medium/hard high performance industrial grease, particularly recommended for the lubrication of electric motor bearings.
