Castrol Spheerol SBX2 – High-Performance Lithium Complex Grease | 20Kg Pail

Overview

Castrol Spheerol SBX2 is a premium lithium complex grease with NLGI 2 consistency. It’s formulated with extreme-pressure (EP) additives, 5% molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂), and graphite solids, in a heavy-viscosity, synthetically modified base oil. Engineered for severe-duty applications, this grease excels in demanding environments such as mining, sugar milling, and general heavy industry, providing outstanding protection for bucket pins, plain bearings, open gears, and other heavily loaded components.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extraordinarily High Load-Carrying Capacity
  Certified to exceed 800 kg in 4-ball weld load tests, this grease offers exceptional protection in applications involving extreme pressures and shock loads.

• Solid Lubricant Enhancement
  Contains 5% molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) and graphite that form a durable low-friction film, significantly reducing wear on gear teeth and bearing surfaces under heavy loading.

• Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives
  The advanced EP package ensures superior performance under severe loading and low-speed conditions, shielding critical components from damage caused by metal-to-metal contact.

• Strong Corrosion Protection
  Integrated inhibitors protect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from rust and corrosion—even in the presence of moisture or washdown exposure.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range with Excellent Pumpability
  Remains effective at low temperatures for continuous lubrication during cold starts, while its high drop point (minimum 250°C) ensures performance under elevated heat conditions.

• Water Resistance
  Repels moisture effectively, helping reduce grease dilution and consumption in wet operating environments, such as sugar mills or outdoor mining sites.

• Reliable Consistency and Reduced Grease Consumption
  Its NLGI 2 structure maintains form under high speeds and heavy load without hardening, ensuring consistent lubrication and minimizing grease usage.

Applications

Ideal for:

• Bucket pins and pivot joints in heavy machinery

• Plain bearings in high-pressure systems

• Open gears and slow-speed gear drives

• Heavy industrial equipment in mining, sugar refining, steel plants, and earthmoving

• OEM-spec applications from Caterpillar and Komatsu requiring MoS₂-enriched grease formulations

Originally designed to meet SKF lubrication requirements for sugar mill roller bearings, Castrol Spheerol SBX2 has proven its capability in numerous rugged industrial settings.

Typical Physical Properties

Handling & Storage Advice

• Store sealed in a cool, dry place at ambient temperature.

• Protect from contamination by dust, dirt, and moisture.

• For colder environments, allow units to warm slightly before application to ensure pumpability.

• Dispose of used grease in accordance with local environmental regulations.

• Use gloves when handling to prevent skin contact.

• Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and safety guidelines.
