Outstanding Grease Life — Specifically Engineered for Electric Motors
Mobil Polyrex EM is a super-premium polyurea grease formulated specifically for electric motor bearings — recommended by many major bearing and electric motor manufacturers for long-life lubrication of ball and roller bearings, particularly in sealed-for-life applications.
The advanced polyurea thickener system was engineered to solve the specific failure mode that conventional lithium-based greases suffer in electric motor applications — thermal degradation and thickener breakdown under sustained motor operating temperatures. For South African manufacturing, processing and facilities operations running electric motors continuously, Mobil Polyrex EM is the correct choice where bearing reliability, low-noise operation and extended re-lubrication intervals are the priority.
Product Overview
Mobil Polyrex™ EM is a super-premium electric motor bearing grease formulated with an advanced polyurea thickener and proprietary manufacturing techniques — delivering improved bearing performance and protection for long electric motor life. NLGI 2 consistency suits the majority of standard electric motor bearing applications across manufacturing, processing and facilities management operations.
The advanced polyurea thickener provides increased durability versus conventional polyurea greases when subjected to mechanical shear forces — maintaining grease structure and bearing protection over the full service interval. Mobil Polyrex EM also delivers excellent corrosion resistance, including additional protection under mild salt-water wash conditions, and low-noise properties suited to ball bearing lubrication in noise-sensitive environments.
Mobil Polyrex EM is compatible with a number of ExxonMobil lithium complex greases and competitive electric motor mineral polyurea products, as determined by ASTM D6185 methodology. Available in 18kg pail and 180kg drum from Orbit Industrial — distributing Mobil lubricants across the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Garden Route.
Why Polyurea Matters in Electric Motor Applications
The case for polyurea grease is stronger in electric motor bearing applications than almost any other lubrication application — because the consequences of using the wrong thickener type are uniquely costly:
Bearing Failure — The Primary Failure Mode
Premature electric motor bearing failure is one of the most common and costly maintenance issues in industrial facilities. Lithium complex greases churn and soften at sustained motor operating speeds and temperatures, causing grease loss and bearing starvation. Polyrex EM's polyurea thickener resists churning and maintains structure throughout the bearing's operating life.
Thickener Incompatibility Risk
Mixing polyurea and lithium complex greases without purging can soften the grease structure and cause it to run out of the bearing — a leading cause of preventable electric motor bearing failure. Always purge bearings fully when switching from a lithium complex grease to Polyrex EM.
Extended Re-Lubrication Intervals
Outstanding grease life of 750+ hours at 177°C allows significantly extended re-lubrication intervals compared to conventional greases — reducing maintenance frequency and labour cost across large electric motor populations in manufacturing facilities.
Low-Noise Performance
Suitable for ball bearing lubrication in noise-sensitive applications such as HVAC systems, hospitals and commercial buildings — where motor bearing noise from grease churning or thickener breakdown is an operational concern.
Full Performance Benefits
Outstanding Grease Life
Outstanding long-life, high-temperature lubrication of ball and roller bearings, particularly in sealed-for-life applications — reducing the need for frequent re-lubrication and unplanned motor maintenance.
Advanced Polyurea Thickener
Increased durability versus conventional polyurea greases when subjected to mechanical shear forces — maintaining grease structure and bearing protection throughout the service interval.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Provides protection against rust and corrosion, including additional protection under mild salt-water wash conditions — suited to humid and coastal industrial environments.
Low-Noise Properties
Suitable for lubrication of ball bearings in many noise-sensitive applications, where bearing noise from grease churning or thickener structure is a design consideration.
Excellent Low-Temperature Performance
Maintains pumpability and bearing protection down to -29°C — ensuring reliable lubrication and motor start-up performance in cold storage, refrigeration and outdoor industrial environments.
Broad OEM Compatibility
Recommended by many major bearing and electric motor manufacturers for long-life lubrication of electric motor ball and roller bearings — simplifying procurement across mixed equipment populations.
Recommended Applications
Important: Polyurea and lithium complex greases are generally incompatible. Purge bearings completely before switching from a lithium complex grease to Mobil Polyrex EM.
Polyrex EM vs Polyrex EM 103 — Grade Selection
Always confirm the correct grade and consistency from your motor OEM service manual before ordering. Contact Orbit Industrial for grease selection assistance.
