ELKALUB VP 873 is a grease for heavily loaded roller bearings (especially tapered and spherical roller bearings, cam rollers).
Due to the high load-bearing capacity and the high wear protection, ELKALUB VP 873 is also used as a lubricant in open gears. The lubrication points benefit from the adhesive formulation, which is also responsible for a high level of corrosion protection and water resistance.
The addition of solid lubricants supports sliding pairings and ensures emergency running properties.

ELKALUB VP 873 is suitable for metal-plastic combinations. Due to the diversity of plastic materials, a previous resistance test is recommended.

A special application of ELKALUB VP 873 is as an assembly paste for stainless steel screw connections in the food industry. The grease prevents cold welding.
