Manufacturer's description

Mobilgrease XHP 223 is an extended-service lithium complex grease from the Mobilgrease XHP 220 series, built on ExxonMobil's proprietary lithium complex manufacturing technology and designed to outperform conventional greases across a wide range of applications and severe operating conditions. It combines excellent high-temperature performance with superb adhesion, structural stability, resistance to water contamination, rust and corrosion protection and a maximum recommended operating temperature of 140°C. It is the stiffest grade of the series, NLGI 3, built on an ISO VG 220 base oil, with a dropping point of 290°C, a worked penetration of 235 (0.1 mm) and a water washout loss of 5% at 79°C. ExxonMobil recommends it where good high-temperature and anti-leakage properties are required, particularly for severe truck wheel-bearing applications and for rolling-element bearings subject to vibration or higher speeds that need a higher-consistency grease for channelling characteristics.

Applications

• Mobilgrease XHP 220 greases are used across a wide range of equipment, including industrial, automotive, construction and marine applications; their blue colour allows easy verification of application.
• Mobilgrease XHP 005 and 220 are softer, high-temperature greases recommended for centralised grease application systems, gear lubrication, and where extreme-cold-temperature pumpability is important.
• Mobilgrease XHP 221 is recommended for industrial and marine applications, chassis components and farm equipment, and provides excellent low-temperature performance.
• Mobilgrease XHP 222 is recommended for industrial and marine applications, chassis components and farm equipment; its sticky formulation stays in place longer.
• Mobilgrease XHP 223 is recommended where good high-temperature and anti-leakage properties are required — particularly for severe truck wheel-bearing applications, or rolling-element bearings subject to vibration or higher speeds that need a higher-consistency grease for channelling characteristics.
• Mobilgrease XHP 222 Special contains 0.75% molybdenum disulfide, is grey in colour, and is recommended for moderate-duty service in industrial applications, chassis components and farm equipment, including king pins, U-joints, fifth wheels and bucket pins.

Performance & benefits

• Uses specially selected additives to provide excellent oxidation stability, rust and corrosion control, resistance to water contamination, and anti-wear and EP protection.
• Superb resistance to water washout and spray-off, with a highly adhesive and cohesive structure: helps ensure proper lubrication and protection even in the most severe water-exposure conditions, with excellent grease tenacity that helps reduce leakage and extend relubrication intervals.
• Excellent rust and corrosion resistance: protects lubricated parts even in hostile aqueous environments.
• Very good resistance to thermal, oxidative and structural degradation at high temperature: helps extend grease life and enhance bearing protection in high-temperature applications, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
• Very good anti-wear and EP performance: reliable protection of lubricated equipment, even under high-sliding conditions, extending equipment life and reducing unanticipated downtime.
• Broad multipurpose application: potential for inventory rationalisation and reduced inventory costs.
