Starplex HM 3
superceded by Starplex EP 2
Starplex® HM 3 is a high performance long-service multipurpose lead-free grease, formulated for long-term service in roller-and ball-bearing applications, operating at high temperatures and under high loads. With a wide operating temperature range, Starplex HM 3 is formulated with mineral base stocks with temperature resistant lithium complex soap thickener, combined with EP additives and wear, corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. Starplex HM 3 offers good mechanical stability and is suited to bearing lubrication under conditions where strong vibrations are present.
Recommended Uses
Starplex HM 3 grease is used for lubricating machines and components which are subjected to high thermal and mechanical loads over a long service life. It has been tested in applications involving extreme pressures, vibrations and impact stress, wet conditions, dust, and in the presence of plastic seals. This product largely covers the applications of conventional lithium, sodium and calcium greases, as well as of aluminum and calcium complex greases.
Starplex HM 3 can be a substitute for various grease types, therefore reducing the number of greases that must be kept in storage.
Operating temperature: -20°C up to 150°C with frequent re-lubrication up to 200°c for a short period of time.

Performance Benefits
1. Wide Temperature Range Application
Formulated to promote long-term lubrication performance in wide temperature conditions and effective thermal performance which contributes to advanced protection under high temperature conditions.
2. Long Bearing Service Life
Mechanical stability helps maintain lubrication performance in bearings which are subject to strong vibrations. High pressure load capacity promotes longterm wear resistance.
3. Protects Metal Surfaces
Assists long-term corrosion protection where moisture, water or aggressive atmospheres are present.
4. Improves Equipment Life
Good sealing characteristics help protect lubrication points from dust, dirt and water. Tough, adhesive oil film performance aids long-term component protection.
