Castrol Spheerol™ LZ is a long lasting multi-purpose grease with high adhesive strength, high mechanical and thermal stability.
This two-page product technical data sheet (产品技术说明书) from Castrol covers Spheerol LZ, a long lasting multi-purpose grease formerly known as Energrease LZ and renamed in 2015. The document describes the grease as a lithium soap thickened mineral oil grease with high adhesion, mechanical and thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It notes that Spheerol LZ is lead-free and has approval under Mercedes-Benz fuel/specification sheet 267.
Applications listed are general construction and transport equipment, agricultural and forestry machinery including grease-lubricated gearboxes, and highly loaded rolling and sliding bearings in wet and dusty environments such as universal joints, wheel hubs, sprockets and bogies. The sheet gives an operating temperature range of -20 °C to 120 °C with short-term peaks to 130 °C, lists product advantages (ageing resistance, water and corrosion resistance, adhesion, wear protection) and provides a typical data table with test methods and results, plus storage instructions. This manual is written in Chinese.
