Readily Biodegradable Non-Toxic Grease

Product Description

Mobil SHC Aware™ Grease EP 2 is a high performance synthetic grease designed specifically for applications which are environmentally sensitive and meets the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP). This leading product is readily biodegradable and virtually non-toxic grease and is formulated based on biodegradable saturated ester base oils and a lithium/calcium soap thickener. It does not emulsify and has excellent water wash and salt water corrosion resistance.
