Product Description
Lithium Complex + 5% MoS₂ Extreme-Pressure Grease. KATMOTO GREASE MOLY EP2 is a lithium-complex grease fortified with 5% molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) for heavily loaded, shock-loaded pins and bushings such as those on excavators and loaders where a moly grease is recommended
Key Performance Features
| Molybdenum (MoS₂) boost
5% MoS₂ provides extra protection for shock-loaded pins and bushings. |
High EP load capacity
high 4-ball weld load for heavy-load pin and bushing applications. |
| CAT-style pin lubrication
suitable where moly grease is recommended for pins and bushings. |
Mechanical & water stability
resists softening, leakage and water washout under load. |
| High dropping point
lithium-complex thickener supports high-temperature operation. |
Anti-wear & anti-seize
MoS₂ reduces wear and prevents seizure under boundary lubrication. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Heavily loaded and shock-loaded pins, bushings and joints in excavators, loaders and mining equipment where an NLGI 2 grease with MoS₂ is specified. |
| Specification | NLGI 2 (Li complex + MoS₂) — extreme-pressure moly grease classification. DIN 51502 KPF2N-20 — EP grease with solid lubricant designation. CAT pin & bushing (moly-type) — suitable where Caterpillar recommends a moly grease for pins. High 4-ball weld — high load-carrying for shock-loaded joints. Anti-seize protection — MoS₂ prevents seizure under boundary conditions. |
| OEM Suitability | Excavator, loader and mining-equipment pins and bushings where an NLGI 2 grease with 5% MoS₂ is specified (e.g. Caterpillar). Follow the OEM manual. |
| 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. |
