Castrol SpheerolTM CV 30K is a lithium soap base automotive grease of NLGI 3 consistency. It is manufactured from superior quality base stock and special lithium soap fortified with anti-oxidant and anti-rust additive. This grease has extremely good storage and service stability.
Spheerol CV 30K grease is suitable for all plain and rolling bearings under normal loads and maintains an effective lubrication film between contacting surfaces for extended periods with an operating temperature range of -20C to 120C
Spheerol CV 30K is specially designed to withstand high speed applications and severe vibrations that is encountered in commercial vehicles operating in Indian road conditions.
Advantages
Corrosion inhibitor additives ensure protection of metal surfaces extending bearing life.
Oxidation inhibitors extend the life of the grease in high temperature conditions.
Water resistance ensures good levels of protection in wet applications.
