Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease

Premium Tacky Lithium Complex EP Grease for Heavy-Duty Bearings, Chassis, Pins and Bushes

Product Overview

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease is a premium heavy-duty, lithium complex, extreme pressure grease developed for demanding automotive, transport, agricultural, construction and industrial applications. Designed with strong adhesion, high mechanical stability and excellent load-carrying capacity, this grease is suitable for equipment operating under heavy pressure, shock loading, vibration, water exposure and elevated temperature conditions.

This product is formulated for users who need a dependable multi-purpose grease capable of staying in place under harsh service conditions. Its tacky consistency helps resist squeeze-out, fling-off and water wash-off, making it ideal for applications where ordinary greases may not provide adequate protection. The NLGI 2 consistency provides excellent pumpability through manual grease guns and many centralised lubrication systems while still maintaining strong film strength on working surfaces.

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease is suitable for rolling element bearings, plain bearings, chassis points, pins, bushes, universal joints, ball joints, steering linkages, wheel bearings, kingpins, pivots and general lubrication points exposed to high loads or environmental contamination. It is especially useful for machinery operating in wet, dusty or high-impact conditions where grease retention and component protection are essential.

For workshops, fleet operators, farmers, contractors and industrial maintenance teams, Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease provides a practical, high-performance solution that reduces re-greasing frequency, improves equipment reliability and helps extend component life.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Tacky Adhesive Performance

The tacky formulation helps the grease cling strongly to metal surfaces, reducing the risk of fling-off, squeeze-out or wash-off during operation. This is especially important in exposed components such as pins, bushes, suspension parts, trailer fittings, farm machinery joints and construction equipment linkages.

2. Extreme Pressure Protection

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease contains extreme pressure additives that help protect components under heavy loading and shock impact. This makes it ideal for machinery exposed to high unit pressure, slow movement, oscillation or impact loading.

3. High Temperature Stability

The lithium complex thickener system provides a higher dropping point and improved temperature resistance compared with standard lithium greases. This helps maintain grease consistency and lubrication performance in hot operating environments such as wheel bearings, heavy equipment joints and industrial machinery.

4. Excellent Water Resistance

This grease resists water wash-off and provides continued protection in damp, wet and outdoor operating conditions. It is suitable for machinery exposed to rain, mud, washdown, irrigation, road spray or general moisture contamination.

5. Rust and Corrosion Protection

The corrosion-inhibiting additive system helps protect metal surfaces from rust caused by water, humidity and condensation. This is valuable for equipment stored outdoors or used intermittently, including trailers, farm machinery and construction plant.

6. Mechanical Stability Under Load

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease maintains its structure under mechanical stress, vibration and repeated movement. This helps prevent softening, oil separation and premature loss of lubrication in heavily worked components.

7. Multi-Purpose Workshop Use

Because of its broad application range, this grease can help reduce the need for multiple grease types in workshops and maintenance depots. It is suitable for many everyday grease points where EP performance, water resistance and tackiness are required.

8. Reduced Maintenance Frequency

Strong adhesion, water resistance and mechanical stability help extend re-lubrication intervals, reducing downtime and labour costs while improving equipment reliability.

Applications

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease is suitable for a wide range of applications including:

• Wheel bearings where NLGI 2 lithium complex grease is specified
• Chassis lubrication points
• Trailer bearings and suspension points
• Universal joints and ball joints
• Pins and bushes on excavators, loaders, graders and tractors
• Agricultural implements exposed to dust, mud and water
• Construction and earthmoving equipment
• Industrial bearings and general plant lubrication
• Conveyors, rollers, hinges and pivot points
• Mining, quarry and transport equipment requiring tacky EP grease

This product is particularly useful in applications where grease needs to remain in position despite vibration, impact, water exposure or heavy load.

Handling & Storage Advice

• Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent contamination from dust, dirt and moisture.
• Use clean grease guns, pumps or dispensing equipment to maintain product cleanliness.
• Avoid mixing with other grease types unless compatibility has been confirmed.
• Clean old grease and contaminants from lubrication points where practical before application.
• Wear suitable gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact during handling.
• Dispose of used grease, contaminated rags and empty containers according to local environmental regulations.
• Keep away from food, drink and animal feed storage areas.
• Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet for complete safety and first-aid information.

Advantages for Workshops, Fleets and Maintenance Teams

Hi-Tec Lithplex TAC EP-2 Grease is a strong choice for professional users who need a reliable grease for mixed fleets and general heavy-duty lubrication. Its combination of tackiness, EP performance, water resistance and high temperature stability makes it suitable for a broad range of applications in transport, farming, construction and industrial maintenance.

For workshops, it simplifies grease inventory by covering many standard lubrication requirements. For fleet operators, it helps reduce downtime through longer service intervals and improved component protection. For farmers and contractors, it provides dependable performance in exposed environments where dust, mud, water and vibration are constant challenges.
