Balmerol® Multigrease LL 3
Multifunctional Long Life Grease Technical Data Sheet
Product Description:
Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 is a lithium base grease formulated with especially developed synergistic
additives and selected raw materials for optimum lubrication under normal as well as adverse
mechanical conditions. Special additives incorporated in the grease rapidly reduce friction and wear,
thus enhancing component life and extending re-lubrication intervals. Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 has
excellent shear stability and good surface adhesion. It is non-ageing and is highly resistant to cold
and hot water, heat, rust, corrosion and oxidation.
Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 conforms to RDSO Specification No. WD-17-Misc-92 (Effective January
’93) / AAR 942-91. It is approved by RDSO for lubrication of cylindrical, spherical roller bearings of
Coaches, Locomotives & Wagons.
Features & Benefits:
Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 provides the following benefits:
• Excellent performance under heavy loads
• Excellent protection from friction & wear
• Reliable corrosion protection which extends component life
• Resistance to water wash-out
• Re-lubrication intervals can be enhanced by 4 to 5 times under proper care
Applications / Recommendations:
Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 is suitable for long term lubrication of all types of heavy and medium duty
automotive wheel bearings - particularly trucks, transport vehicles, tractors, earth-movers, etc.
operating under heavy loads.
It is also recommended for all types of industrial ball and roller bearings of heavily loaded equipment
such as construction machinery, cranes, industrial blowers, motors, fans, etc.
Balmerol Multigrease LL 3 is not compatible with sodium base wheel bearing greases and all types of
differential oils. Hence, bearings should be thoroughly cleaned and oil seal should be changed before
filling new grease. Only two-thirds of the bearings need to be filled for optimum lubrication.
