TUNNEL TOP PICK
KAJO CASX 2 is a top pick for the tunnel industry due to its ability to perform reliably in extreme conditions. Its calcium sulphonate complex formulation provides excellent resistance to water, heat, and heavy loads, making it ideal for tunnelling equipment operating in harsh, high-pressure environments.
With superior mechanical stability and strong protection against wear, rust, and contamination, it ensures long-lasting lubrication for critical components such as bearings, pins, and bushings. The grease is also biodegradable, making it a suitable choice for underground worksites where environmental concerns are a factor.
Its wide temperature range (-30°C to +140°C, with a dropping point over 300°C) ensures consistent performance in demanding conditions, helping to minimise downtime and extend equipment life.

Why is lubrication important in the tunnel industry:
- Friction Reduction: KAJO Grease reduces friction between moving parts, helping machinery operate smoothly and efficiently within the tunnel environment.
- Wear Protection: In the harsh conditions of tunnel construction, machinery is subjected to significant wear. Grease forms a protective barrier, reducing wear on critical components and extending their lifespan.
- Corrosion Prevention: Tunnels often have high humidity levels and exposure to water, which can lead to corrosion of metal components. Grease provides a protective layer, shielding machinery from corrosion and rust.
- Extreme Pressure Performance: Tunnelling equipment often operates under high-pressure conditions, exerting immense force on components. Grease with excellent extreme pressure properties helps prevent metal-to-metal contact and withstands heavy loads.
- Temperature Stability: Tunnels can experience wide temperature variations, KAJO has grease with stable thermal properties that ensures consistent lubrication performance across temperature ranges.
- Dust and Debris Protection: Tunnel environments are notorious for dust, dirt, and debris. KAJO Grease helps keep contaminants out, preserving machinery integrity.
- Improves Performance: Proper lubrication with KAJO grease ensures optimal machinery performance, enhancing productivity, efficiency, and safety in tunnel construction projects.
