Temperature Range Bearing Grease SKF LGWA 2 is a premium quality mineral oil based, lithium complex grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance. LGWA 2 is recommended for general industrial and automotive applications, when loads or temperatures exceed the range of general purpose greases.
• Excellent lubrication at peak temperatures up to 220 °C (430 °F)
for short periods • Protection of wheel bearings operating under severe conditions • Effective lubrication in wet conditions • Good water and corrosion resistance • Excellent lubrication under high loads and low speeds
Typical applications: • Wheel bearings in cars, trailers and trucks • Washing machines • Fan and electric motors Technical data Designation LGWA 2/(pack size) DIN 51825 code KP2N-30 Water resistance DIN 51 807/1, NLGI consistency class 2 3 hrs at 90 °C 1 max.

SKF lubricants offer major competitive advantages:
• Designed and tested to outperform under real conditions • Product data include specific test results enabling a better selection • Strict quality control of every production batch help ensure consistent performance • Quality control allows SKF to offer a five–year shelf-life* from the date of production
Production processes and raw materials vastly influence grease properties and performance. It is virtually impossible to select or compare greases based only on their composition. Therefore, performance tests are needed to provide crucial information. In over 100 years, SKF has accrued vast knowledge about the interaction of lubricants, materials and surfaces.
This knowledge has led SKF, in many cases, to set industry standards in bearing lubricant testing. Emcor, ROF, ROF+, V2F, R2F and Bequiet are just some of the multiple tests developed by SKF to assess the performance of lubricants under bearing operating conditions. Many of them are widely used by lubricant manufacturers worldwide.
