SKF has introduced a new biodegradable, low-toxicity “green” grease, LGGB 2. The grease is an environmentally friendly alternative to standard lubricating greases.
Until recently, biodegradable lubricants were considered unsuitable for bearing lubrication. The new LGGB 2 biodegradable grease meets stringent SKF criteria for bearing grease. The new grease has been tested and approved for steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings, ball bearings and roller bearings, and is suitable for a wide range of applications under different conditions.
Applications can be found in, for example, the agricultural forestry, water-treatment and construction areas.
