Mobil Polyrex EM 103 is the super-premium ExxonMobil polyurea grease in NLGI 3, specially formulated for electric-motor bearings. It has a stiffer consistency than Mobil Polyrex EM and is specifically recommended for vertically mounted bearings or very large motors where the manufacturer may require a stiffer grease. It delivers outstanding high-temperature grease life, particularly in sealed-for-life ball bearings (750+ hours in the ASTM D3336 test at 177 °C), increased durability under mechanical shear, low oil separation, and protection against rust and corrosion. It is recommended by many major bearing and electric-motor manufacturers for electric-motor, fin-fan and high-temperature pump bearings.
