BIOGREASE EP0 is a Lithium/Calcium thickened lubricating grease based on fully saturated synthetic esters. It offers improved operation and lower environmental risk leading to overall cost savings.
BIOGREASE EP0 meets the detailed ecological definitions and requirements laid down in the 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) published by the US EPA in March 2013.
BIOGREASE EP0 is designed for use in sensitive marine environments and can be used in a variety of marine applications which demand a semi-fluid NLGI 0 grease, primarily for rudder stocks (centralized lubrication systems) and propeller hubs and caps.
BIOGREASE EP0 may be applied manually or via a centralized lubrication system using suitable pumps. The grease also has a wide operating temperature with a lower working temperature of -25°C and an upper temperature of +140°C.
BIOGREASE EP0 achieves a biodegradability of greater than 60% in the 28 day OECD 301B test. These products are considered non-toxic in the marine environment based on the following results:
| FEATURE | BENEFITS |
| Wider operating temperature | Protects equipment from -25ºC to +140ºC |
| Good adhesion | Resists the washing action of rain and seawater |
| Good corrosion protection | Provides rust resistance to steel and copper |
| Reduces wear and friction | Protects and extends equipment life |
| Good elastomer compatibility | Compatible with most sealing materials including Nitrile and Viton |
| Biodegradable and minimally toxic | Lower environmental risk |
BIOGREASE EP0 has been awarded the European Ecolabel for lubricants and therefore
meets the VGP definition of an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant.
The EU Ecolabel is a label of environmental excellence that is awarded to products and services meeting high environmental standards throughout their life-cycle: from raw material extraction, to production, distribution and disposal.
