Product Description
FUCHS RENOLIT GT-PLEX 2 is a high-performance NLGI 2 lithium complex tacky multi-purpose grease designed for high-temperature bearings, wheel bearings, fifth wheels, driveshafts, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, construction machinery, mining equipment, and heavy-duty applications requiring excellent adhesion, water resistance, and long grease life. This premium orange lithium complex grease provides outstanding wear protection, corrosion resistance, contamination sealing, and resistance to grease squeeze-out under severe operating conditions.
RENOLIT GT-PLEX 2 is formulated with a lithium complex thickener, high-quality mineral base oil, tackifying polymers, anti-wear additives, oxidation inhibitors, and corrosion protection additives. The advanced tacky formulation allows the grease to remain in place under vibration, shock loading, and water exposure while creating an effective barrier against dust, dirt, and moisture contamination. This helps reduce grease consumption and extends component service life.
