BATHAN KF 4 / 60 W – Lithium Complex High-Temperature Grease
Bathan KF4 is a synthetic lithium complex high-temperature grease with finely dispersed ceramic and EP additive technology. It was developed for extremely stressed bearing points that are simultaneously exposed to high temperatures, shear forces, as well as moisture or water vapor. The stable structure ensures reliable lubrication and protection even under shock-like loads.
For extreme industrial applications with high temperatures and dynamic loads.
Bathan KF4 is certified:
For safe use in demanding industrial applications.
What applications is Bathan KF4 made for?
Product description
- Heavy-Duty Lithium Complex Grease
- Very well suited for bearings with a high proportion of sliding friction
- Can be used all year round in a wide temperature range
- Reliable in dusty and wet environments
Bathan KF 4 is a universal high-performance ceramic grease specially developed for demanding applications in plain and roller bearings, as well as tapered, cylindrical, and spherical roller bearings. It is water-resistant, extremely durable, and can be easily conveyed even through long lines.
Mode of action
The integrated ceramic particles smooth the metal surfaces, thereby reducing wear. At the same time, the load-bearing capacity of the bearing increases, which significantly reduces grease consumption and extends lubrication intervals. Thanks to the stable structure of the lithium complex grease, emergency lubrication is guaranteed at all times.
Properties/Advantages
- Water-Resistant Performance / reliable use even with moisture, wetness, and cleaning influences.
- Less Wear / High-performance ceramic smooths metal surfaces and permanently protects the bearings.
- Less Maintenance / extended lubrication intervals reduce downtimes and service effort.
- High Operational Reliability / emergency lubrication guarantees protection even under extreme conditions.
- Easy Handling / very easy to pump, even through long lines.
- Cost-Efficient / lower grease consumption reduces operating and maintenance costs.
