Shell Lubricants has introduced Shell Retinax LX in the United States. A family of premium, lithium complex greases made from a combination of performance additives, Shell Retinax LX was developed primarily for lubrication of high-temperature applications, such as wheel bearings in heavy-duty trucks. It replaces Shell Retinax LC to better align with the global grease brands offered by Shell.
Shell Retinax LX provides excellent EP/load carrying ability, oxidation stability, rust protection. and the ability to adhere to metal surfaces and resist water wash-off. It has a distinct red color that makes it easy to identify in field applications.
Benefits of using Shell Retinax LX include resisting water washout; providing excellent bearing corrosion protection in wet environments; resisting softening, which helps prevent leakage from bearings when subjected to severe working conditions; and providing excellent protection against wear. Shell Retinax LX also provides good pumpability in grease lubrication systems and offers excellent mechanical stability by maintaining consistency over long periods.
