SH2 Lithium Complex Hydrocarbon Grease

SH2 Lithium Complex Hydrocarbon Grease

TorrLube SH2 is a specialized synthetic hydrocarbon grease, utilizing polyalphaolefin (PAO) oils and lithium complexing agents to deliver stable, high-performance lubrication tailored for demanding engineering applications. Its enhanced water resistance, temperature resilience, and anti-wear features make it ideal for use in environments requiring precise thermal contact and efficiency, from rolling element bearings to aerospace instrumentation

TorrLube SH2 represents the epitome of advances in synthetic hydrocarbon grease technology. Utilizing a proprietary formulation of polyalphaolefin (PAO) oils and cutting-edge lithium complexing agents, SH2 provides a chemically inert, stable grease with superior lubrication performance, specifically designed for demanding tribological applications. The lithium complexing agent contributes significantly to its enhanced water resistance, temperature tolerance, and anti-wear capabilities. In action, SH2 works at the microscopic level, filling the micron-sized irregularities and fissures on the surfaces it coats, enhancing thermal contact and resulting in a smoother and more efficient interface.

 

In terms of stability, SH2 exhibits extraordinary thermo-oxidative resistance, maintaining its functionality even under extremely low temperature conditions. The product does not contain silicone or halogens, which further improves its compatibility across a range of applications. It demonstrates low vapor pressure and remarkable resistance to radiation, extending its use-case to challenging environments. Furthermore, SH2 is characterized by its "gettering" action, absorbing harmful impurities from metal and glass surfaces, and its "stiction" property ensures it stays put, maintaining the coating integrity even under dynamic conditions. 

 

Despite its sophisticated formulation, SH2 remains user-friendly. It can be easily applied and removed when necessary, and with a shelf life of 10 years, its practicality is further reinforced. Common applications include rolling element bearings, aircraft instrumentation, automotive systems, and military hardware. It can be safely removed with standard hydrocarbon solvents like mineral spirits. As with all TorrLube products, SH2 is proudly manufactured in the USA.
