Description
Customer benefits
Protects metal surfaces
• Effective EP additive, high base fluid viscosity and additional molybdenum disulfide solid film lubricant protect
against component wear under severe conditions and shock loading. Rust and corrosion inhibitors protect
metal surfaces, even in conditions of severe water exposure.
Minimizes downtime
• High dropping point minimizes leakage from bearings at elevated temperatures, and excellent oxidation
resistance ensures long grease life. Natural water resistance of the lithium complex thickener, tackiness
additive, and the additional molybdenum di- sulfide solid film lubricant prevent lubricant failure, even under
the wettest conditions.
Ease of application
• Good pumpability characteristics of the lithium complex thickener provide suitable flow properties for most
centralized lubrication system applications.
Reduces complexity
• Multipurpose capability allows use in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications, reducing the
number of different greases required and eliminating product misapplication.
Product features
• Delo® Starplex Moly 5% EP 2 contains a ISO 460 base oil, lithium complex thickener, extreme pressure
additives, rust and oxidation inhibitors, tackiness additives, and 5% molybdenum disulfide.
Applications

Service considerations
The inclusion of molybdenum disulfide provides an extra measure f protection under shock loading which is very
common in construction, off-highway transport, and agricultural usage. During heavy shock loading, the lubricant
film between metal surfaces can be temporarily ruptured or squeezed out. When using Delo® Starplex Moly 5%
EP 2, some molybdenum disulfide stays in place as a solid film lubricant to protect metal surfaces, even under
extreme shock loading conditions, preventing metal-to-metal contact which could cause component damage. The
presence of molybdenum disulfide is also valuable in dirty environments, or when proper re-greasing intervals
cannot be followed.
Delo® Starplex Moly 5% EP 2 is not recommended for constant-velocity joints on front wheel drive
vehicles.
