LGLT 2
Low temperature, extremely high speed grease
SKF LGLT 2 is a fully synthetic oil based grease using lithium soap. Its thickener technology and low viscosity oil (PAO) provide excellent lubrication performances. Suitable for low temperatures to –50 °C (–60 °F) and extremely high speeds (n dm values of 1,6 x 106 can be reached).
