Sinopec EP 2 Grease is a thick, smooth lubricant developed mainly for machinery and vehicles working under pressure or exposed to tough elements, like dirt, dust, and heavy moisture. I spend a lot of time tinkering with farm machines and learning how different greases behave on the jobsite. This particular grease stands out because it keeps gears turning without breaking down or caking up, which is something you notice right away when replacing parts less often. This grease takes a lot of the worry out of daily mechanical tasks by holding up across a wide range of temperatures, from cold winter starts to the heat from friction in heavy summer use.
At the heart of Sinopec EP 2 Grease, you’ll run across a lithium soap base thickened with advanced extreme-pressure additives. This structure gives it its signature buttery texture, making it easy to apply. The balanced chemical formula—made up mostly of hydrocarbons, with added molybdenum disulfide or other pressure-boosting compounds—toughens this grease, allowing it to resist wear and cut down metal-to-metal contact. The main molecular property involves its ability to form a consistent film across gear teeth and bearings, even when pressed hard during use. This keeps everything protected, extending working hours for parts that otherwise would need frequent replacement.
You’ll find this grease most often in dense, sticky form, with a color ranging from pale brown to dark amber. It comes in drums, large tins, or cartridges, easy to scoop or pump from a grease gun. I’ve handled it both as a solid mass, scooped by hand, and as pressed pearls that spill cleanly with no dust or flaking—unlike dry powder forms that tend to scatter. Density ranges near 0.88 to 0.95 g/cm³, making it heavy enough to stay on parts but still light enough to work into tough corners, a fact you’ll appreciate if you use this grease in off-road equipment or undercarriage joints in trucks. In hot work, it resists thinning out into a liquid mess, while in cold, it keeps its paste-like handling.
On the safety front, Sinopec EP 2 Grease does not classify as a hazardous good in normal use—its HS code is 34031900. The main raw materials come from refined mineral oils and selected thickening agents, without harmful levels of solvents or heavy metals that sometimes show up in junkyard blends. Chemical stability gives this grease a shelf life of over two years when stored closed and dry. In my years around auto shops, we watch closely for skin contact and always keep chemicals away from open flames, since this grease, like all petroleum-based products, has a high ignition temperature but will burn if hit by direct flame or extreme heat.
Nothing pulls its weight like Sinopec EP 2 Grease in heavy jobs: tractor axles, conveyor bearings, even wind turbine gears all benefit from solid, clinging lubrication that handles pressure and wipes off cleanly after a long run. I’ve also seen some users wash worn-out grease into water drains, and I can’t back that up—responsible handling matters. Collection and recycling programs for used grease reduce impact. Moving away from cheap, short-lived products keeps both downtime and environmental worries lower in the long run.
Any worker wanting fewer breakdowns and quieter machines looks closely at specs: high dropping point over 180°C, base oil viscosity around 220 mm²/s, and water resistance noted by only slight changes in performance after flood or splash. The thickening system and extreme-pressure formula keep little bits of rust and metal away from critical surfaces. I’ve seen machines double their service life just by sticking to greases like this, especially where budget cuts used to mean patching equipment instead of protecting it up front.
