MULTIFAK® EP
000, 00, 0, 1, 2
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Multifak® EP greases are multipurpose extreme
pressure greases suitable for use in many industrial
grease applications.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Multifak EP greases deliver value through:
• Good water resistance — Resistance to washout
of bearings.
• Good corrosion protection — Inhibited to
protect bearing surfaces.
• Good oxidation stability — Helps to support long
life in storage and in use.
• Simplified lubrication — One grease designed to
satisfy many different industrial grease
requirements.
• Low oil separation tendency — Recommended
for use in typical centralized lubrication systems.
FEATURES
Multifak EP greases are multipurpose extreme pressure
greases suitable for use in many industrial grease
applications.
Multifak EP greases are manufactured using selected
highly refined medium viscosity index base oils, a
lithium 12 hydroxystearate thickener, an extreme
pressure additive, and rust and oxidation inhibitors.
NLGI grade 000 is red in color and stringy in texture.
NLGI grades 00, 0, 1 and 2 are amber in color and
buttery in texture.
Multifak EP greases have high load-carrying capacity
and, therefore, provide good protection of lubricated
parts against wear. They provide good lubrication in
the presence of water, protect bearing surfaces against
corrosion, and have excellent resistance to oxidation,
which supports long life in storage and in use.
Multifak EP greases are work stable. They resist
separation or throw out from antifriction bearings.
They have low oil bleeding tendency under pressure
and are pumpable at low temperatures.
APPLICATIONS
Multifak EP greases are suitable for use in typical
centralized lubrication systems.
Multifak EP greases can satisfy a wide range of
industrial and commercial grease applications.
Typical applications include:
• General Machinery - plain, antifriction, roller, and
needle bearings
• Construction equipment
• Conveyors and run-out rolls
• Crusher, shaker, or classifier screen bearings
• Chassis lubrication
• Non-disc brake wheel bearings
Multifak EP greases are recommended for both plain
and antifriction bearings and particularly for bearings
subjected to shock loading. NLGI grades 1 and 2
comply with Timken’s recommendation for this service.
NLGI grade 000 is a semifluid grease formulated to
meet the lubrication requirements of machinery having
enclosed gear cases where housings and seals have
lost their ability to retain conventional gear oils.
NLGI grades 1 and 2 are approved
for the NLGI Certification Mark LB.
NLGI grades 0, 1 and 2 are
registered by NSF and are acceptable
as a lubricant where there is no
possibility of food contact (H2) in and around food
processing areas. The NSF Nonfood Compounds
Registration Program is a continuation of the USDA
product approval and listing program, which is based

Operating Temperature, °C(°F)
Minimuma
Maximumb
a Minimum operating temperature is the lowest temperature at which a grease, already in place, could be expected to
provide lubrication. Most greases cannot be pumped at these minimum temperatures.
b Maximum operating temperature is the highest temperature at which the grease could be used with frequent (daily)
relubrication.
* Determined on mineral oil extracted by vacuum filtration.
