CASTROL SPHEEROL AP 3
Bearing Grease
Application CASTROL SPHEEROL AP 3
Spheerol AP 2 and AP 3 are primarily intended for use in plain and anti-friction , ball and roller bearings besides other machinery applications. They are recommended for use under normal load conditions, within an operating temperature range of -20°C to +120°C. Due to the low viscosity used in these products, they are particularly suitable for high speed bearings. Spheerol AP 3 is suitable for severe vibaration conditions.
