MATRIX® M
EXTREME-SERVICE GREASE with MOLY
Whitmore® Matrix® M is a calcium sulfonate complex grease with BENEFITS:
molybdenum disulfide that is highly recommended for difficult • LONG LIFE - reduced relubrication frequency.
applications such as extreme pressure, water, heat, or chemical
attack. • WATER RESISTANT - seals out water, even in underwater
applications.
The thickener system itself has a protective effect, but the addition
• WEAR PROTECTION – recommended for slow to medium
of moly creates a powerful layer of protection under conditions of
speed bearings and bushings. Especially useful for very high
extreme load and slow speed.
load applications.
Whitmore Matrix M helps neutralize acids and also resists reacting APPLICATIONS:
with caustic materials. Whitmore Matrix grease has prevented
corrosion despite years of exposure to phosphoric acid fumes. Water / Chemicals: Phosphate processing, suction and wet end
rolls on paper machines, outdoor cranes and ship lifts, boat trailer
A continuous temperature of 400°F (200°C) is within its safe range. wheel bearings and other marine applications.
It can withstand 550°F (288°C) continuously, provided the bearing
is replenished every 30 minutes with normal quantities of grease. Highly Loaded Equipment: Pellet mills, shaker screens, belt
Occasional temperature spikes to 600°F (315°C) can be sustained conveyor pulleys, slewing bearings, pin and bushing, centrifuges,
for 5 to 10-minute periods without melting or carbonizing. hammer mills, bearings of cone crushers,sealed work roll bearings,
fan bearings and many others.
Whitmore Matrix M EP 2 meets the Bucyrus International
specification for multi-purpose grease (SD 4711). Grades 1 and 2 High Temperature Applications: Oven conveyor bearings, plastic
meet standards KP0R -20, KP1R-20 and KP2R-10 per DIN 51502. extruder bearings, rotary unions on roto-molders.
Automotive and Earthmoving Applications: Wheel bearings, U-
joints, ball joints, pin-and-busing pivot points and slewing bearings.
