- Applications
FASTEX® FGLT2 is primarily designed for low temperature applications and is suitable for use on all anti-friction and plain bearings, including high speed applications where the high dN factor is important. Its wide operating temperature range makes FASTEX® FGLT2 suitable for single product, all-season applications. Has excellent pumpability at low temperatures. Extensively used in the automotive industry in winding and central locking systems and electric motors.
- Methodology
FASTEX® FGLT2 can be applied by hand or by high-pressure / hand operated grease gun or via a central lubricating system capable of pumping NLGI #2 grease. Bearings should be purged of the previous grease before applying FASTEX® FGLT2 unless full compatibility can be shown.
