Description
SKF LGNL 3 is a premium, general-purpose NLGI 3 mineral oil-based grease with a calcium complex soap. Designed for a wide range of operating conditions, LGNL 3 provides optimal performance in many applications, including vertical shafts and those subject to high vibration, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.
This general purpose, wide application grease is an effective alternative to traditional lithium based general purpose greases.
