As noted, Black Pearl SRI 2 passes the Static Bearing
Rust Test, ASTM D5969, with 10% synthetic sea water.
These properties help to provide longer bearing life
under high speed and high temperature operation. This
is nearly 10 times the life possible when using
conventional lithium greases. Under normal operating
temperatures and conditions, Black Pearl SRI 2 can be
used as a “Life Pack” lubricant in sealed bearings.

a Minimum operating temperature is the lowest temperature at which a grease, already in place, could be
expected to provide lubrication. Most greases cannot be pumped at these minimum temperatures.
b Maximum operating temperature is the highest temperature at which the grease could be used with fre-
quent (daily) relubrication.
Minor variations in product typical test data are to be expected in normal manufacturing.
Always confirm that the product selected is consistent with the original equipment manufacturer's recommendation for the
equipment operating conditions and customer's maintenance practices.
