Biodegradable grease for

total loss applications

LGTE 2

LGTE 2 is grease for total loss applications based on biodegradable esters and
anhydrous calcium thickener. The grease is environmentally acceptable and
certified with Ecolabel, making it the ideal grease for marine applications such
as wire ropes.

• Biodegradable and categorized as “Total loss lubricant (TLL)” as defined by Ecolabel


• Environmentally acceptable lubricant according to “2013 Vessel General Permit”
• Excellent pumpability at low to medium temperatures
• Excellent adhesion to surfaces
• Excellent water resistance
• High load capacity

Typical applications
• Wire ropes
• Marine
• Construction equipment
• Forestry and agricultural equipment
• Heavy duty off-road application
• Plain bearings and bushings

Lubrication management
Just as asset management takes maintenance to a higher level, a lubrication management
approach allows lubrication to be seen from a wider point of view. This approach helps to
effectively increase machine reliability at a lower overall cost.
