PRODUCT DATA

SBX 2 GREASE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Castrol SBX 2 Grease is a smooth black lithium complex grease of a No. 2 consistency containing
molybdenum disulphide and graphite solids. Castrol SBX 2 Grease is a unique blend of extreme
pressure additives, solid lubricants and an effective corrosion inhibitor in a heavy viscosity
synthetically modified base oil. Castrol SBX 2 Grease has a drop point (min) of 230oC and has a
load carrying capacity exceeding 800kg under 4-Ball weld load tests.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
Originally designed to meet SKF requirements for sugar mill roller bearing grease. The extreme load
capability of Castrol SBX 2 Grease makes it ideal for bucket pins, plain bearings and other heavy
duty applications in the mining, sugar milling and general industrial industry. The 5% molybdenum
disulphide in Castrol SBX 2 Grease meets certain minimum requirements of OEMs such as
Caterpillar and Komatsu.
