Applications
? Rolling element and plain grease lubricated bearings
? Electric motor bearings ? Sealed-for-life bearings ? Water pump bearings
Shell Alvania Greases RL may be used under a wide range of operating conditions. They offer very significant advantages over conventional lithium greases at high temperature or in the presence of water.
Shell Alvania Grease RL1
A soft consistency grease suitable for the moderate bearing conditions found in centrally lubricated equipment and for some lightly loaded gearbox applications working at normal ambient temperature.
Excellent performance in low temperature applications.
Shell Alvania Grease RL2
A medium consistency grease designed, mainly, for general industrial lubrication. Ideal for centralised lubrication systems operating at normal temperatures.
Shell Alvania Grease RL3
A medium/hard high performance industrial grease, particularly recommended for the lubrication of electrical motor bearings.
Performance Features
? Reliable high temperature performance Very good performance up to +130°C, resulting in longer bearing life.
? Good oxidation and mechanical stability Resists the formation of deposits caused by oxidation at high operating temperatures. Shell Alvania Greases RL are extremely stable under vibrations and give NO LEAKAGE even in repeated shock-loaded bearings.
? Good corrosion resistance characteristics Effective protection in hostile environments
? Long storage life Does not alter in consistency during prolonged storage
Re-greasing Intervals
For bearings operating near their maximum recommended temperatures, re-greasing intervals should be reviewed.
Health & Safety
Shell Alvania Greases RL are free of any harmful component and are not subjected to labelling. They are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.
