Castrol Optitemp LG 2 Low-Temperature Greases, Compatible with Plastics
OPTITEMP LG are fully synthetic lithium greases on a polyalphaolefin base. They are specially designed for applications at low temperatures and for bearings running at high speeds in the normal temperature range.
Good compatibility with plastics and elastomers.
OPTITEMP® LG 2 is approved according to: VW/AUDI – TL-VW 778 A; BMW – GKM No.0127 403, 0127 473; DBL – 6827.40; Brose – 002-563501-104 group 3; Opel – B 040 0060 for LG 0
- Door lock cylinders and door locks in vehicle construction.
- Rolling and sliding bearings, clutch bearings and wheel hubs for long-term and lifetime lubrication at low temperatures.
- Bearings running at high speeds (n x dm – factor up to 1 mio.).
- Grease-lubricated sliding surfaces at temperatures from – 50°C/- 58°F to + 100°C/+ 212°F or + 120°C/+ 248°F
- OPTITEMP LG 0 – due to its soft, semi-fluid grease structure it is especially suited for friction points in precision mechanics.
- Wide temperature application range:
- OPTITEMP® LG 0: – 50°C/- 58°F to +100°C/+ 212°F
- OPTITEMP® LG 2: – 50°C/- 58°F to +120°C/+ 248°F

Grease Application:
- Fill bearing housing is only about half-full with OPTITEMP LG.
- Follow the specifications of the bearing manufacturers.
- Thoroughly clean the bearing before introducing the initial fill.
- Do not mix with other greases. In case of doubt please consult the Technical Service of Castrol Industry GmbH as to the compatibility with competitive products.
- OPTITEMP LG 2 is also available as spray (Art.-no. 09512)
Storage:
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
