Eco-compatible multi-purpose grease for rolling and plain bearings

10 May 2016

Excellent performance even with high temperatures

Munich, 7 April 2016 – Rolling and plain bearings in cranes, fairleads, winches and

rudder systems of ships are often exposed to extremely harsh environmental

conditions. Thus, the requirements to be met by the lubricants used for the bearings

are very high. With Klüberbio BM 32-142, Klüber Lubrication developed a high

performance lubricating grease for such maritime applications. The new multipurpose

grease complies with the requirements of Environmentally Acceptable

Lubricants (EAL) as defined in Appendix A of the 2013 Vessel General Permit and

can therefore also be used for components in contact with sea water.

"Our new high-performance lubricating grease contains special additives which

reduce wear, protect against corrosion and enable smooth operation even at

extremely low temperatures", explains Dirk Fabry, Business Development Manager

Marine at Klüber Lubrication. "Moreover, its readily biodegradable base oil ensures

high environmental compatibility. This makes Klüberbio BM 32-142 a real

multipurpose product for the marine industry."

The new grease can be used in a wide temperature range from minus 40 °C to plus

120 °C. Besides its excellent corrosion and wear protection, the new operational

lubricant offers a very good load-carrying capacity, thus extending the components'

service life and maintenance intervals.
