Unirex™ S 2 is a lithium complex thickened high-temperature grease, based on a low volatility, synthetic polyol ester fluid, fortified with performance-enhancing additives. It is uniquely suited for high temperature applications, with an upper operating temperature recommendation of 200º C / 392°F based upon ASTM D3336 performance. Additionally this grease possesses good oxidation stability, and rust preventive characteristics.

Features and Benefits

Unirex S 2 grease is specially developed for high temperature applications where mineral oil based greases may not provide adequate protection. The ester base fluid has a low volatility at the working temperatures involved, this can lead to long grease life when compared to a conventional mineral oil product. Unirex S 2 is suitable for high temperature operations where frequent relubrication is not practical.

This product offers the following performance features:

•  Outstanding high-temperature performance with better lubricity and wear protection than conventional grease

•  Low base stock volatility helping to provide long lubricant life and potentially extend re-lubrication intervals.

•  An upper operating temperature of 200º C /392°F based upon ASTM D3336 High Temperature Life performance

 

Applications

Application notes: The ester base oil of Unirex S 2 is not compatible with many common elastomer seal materials. For example, it may cause a softening or swelling of NBR seals. It is recommended that the equipment manufacturer or your ExxonMobil representative be consulted regarding seal compatibility in a specific application.

 

Unirex S 2 is recommended by ExxonMobil for severe applications including:

     •  Conveyor bearings in kilns and ovens

     •  Steel mill ladle bearings

     •  Jet aircraft starter clutch assemblies

     •  Critical oven bearings in Fiberglas manufacture
