Product Description
KATMOTO GREASE EP00 / EP0 is a semi-fluid extreme-pressure grease designed for centralised (automatic) lubrication systems on construction and mining equipment. Its low consistency ensures reliable pumpability and flow through central lube lines in cold and warm conditions, while delivering strong EP and anti-wear protection, water resistance and corrosion control at lubrication points.
Key Performance Features
| Excellent pumpability
semi-fluid consistency flows reliably through centralised lube systems. |
Cold-weather flow
maintains pumpability in low-temperature operation. |
| Extreme-pressure protection
protects bearings and joints under heavy and shock load. |
Water & corrosion resistance
protects lubrication points against water and corrosion. |
| Mechanical stability
resists shearing and oil separation in lube lines. |
Central-system suitability
ideal for single-line and dual-line automatic lubrication systems. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Centralised (automatic) lubrication systems supplying bearings, pins and joints on construction and mining equipment where an NLGI 00/0 semi-fluid EP grease is specified. |
| Specification | NLGI 00 / 0 (semi-fluid EP) — semi-fluid extreme-pressure grease classification for central lube. DIN 51502 GP00/0K-25 — semi-fluid EP grease designation. Central-lube pumpability — formulated for single- and dual-line automatic systems. EP & anti-wear — load-carrying protection at lubrication points. Water-resistant — good water washout resistance. |
| OEM Suitability | Construction and mining equipment with centralised automatic lubrication systems specifying an NLGI 00/0 semi-fluid EP grease. Follow the OEM manual and central-system requirements. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the equipment manufacturer specifies this grade/type and a matching performance level. ”Suitable for” does not mean official approval unless separately certified. Always follow the OEM manual. |
