MOLY UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANT
from Texas Refinery Corp. is formulated to meet the
stringent requirements demanded by today's equipment.
The added protection of molybdenum disulfide can extend
the efficiency and life of equipment. With the increase
in power output to gear systems, the importance of a
superior gear lubricant is essential since there is
greater stress on the bearing and gear teeth. This
product provides protection from high speed and adverse
conditions. In addition, these lubricants are authorized
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as H2 lubricants
which have no contact with food. |
Blended
From Quality Base Oils
Texas
Refinery Corp. uses only 95 VI paraffinic base oils when
blending MOLY UNIVERSAL.
These are the most temperature stable. When compared to other
base stocks, these oils have less tendency to thin out under
high temperature and less tendency to thicken in cold
temperatures. They're also highly resistant to oxidation. They
act to transfer the heat from the gears to the unit case and to
carry the performance additives that are incorporated, which
makes this an exceptional gear lubricant.
Extreme
Pressure Approved
Designed as an extreme pressure multi-purpose lubricant,
MOLY UNIVERSAL
is designed to carry the heavy loads on bearings and gears in
today's equipment. It's formulated with sulphur phosphorous
additives to provide desirable performance while not being
highly corrosive or toxic. The sulfur and phosphorous compounds
react under heat and pressure with the metal surfaces to form a
coating. This coating is microscopically thin and is an
excellent load bearing surface that acts as a self-perpetuating
lubricant.
Both
bench testing and axle testing have been performed, analyzing
these extreme pressure additives. The axle tests L-37 and L-42
showed excellent protection for gear sets. Bench testing
verified the fact it is an exceptional gear lubricant.
Contains
A Dry Film Additive
To the
blend of quality base oils and additives, an extremely effective
dry lubricant has been added. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)
is a unique compound which provides a very slick film to reduce
friction. It has been tested in various functional test
equipment to determine its performance characteristics.
Measurements with MoS2 have been made with pressures
as high as 500,000 PSI - which is beyond the yield strength of
most metals - without causing galling or seizing. MoS2
has been added to MOLY UNIVERSAL
to provide a definite advantage when loads are high and the
normal lubricating film cannot handle the pressure.
Adhesive
and Cohesive
In most
gear operations, the need for the lubricant to adhere and move
with the gears is essential. MOLY
UNIVERSAL has been formulated to
provide increased adhesion and cohesion. These added qualities
prevent excessive dripping and spattering of the lubricant and
help to retain sufficient tackiness on the gear teeth, thus
resisting the action of centrifugal force.
This
"built-in" protection provides excellent lubrication while the
gears are in motion . . . in addition, equipment sitting idle
for several days or just overnight is still protected upon
start-up. MOLY UNIVERSAL
is still coating the gear teeth, preventing excessive wear. Even
in the presence of moisture, it will completely coat all metal
parts, protecting against wear, rust, and corrosion.
Contains
Foam Inhibitors
Under
normal circumstances, enclosed gears are partially submerged in
gear lubricant. As foam is produced, the level of gear lubricant
drops, causing the gears to actually run dry, defeating the
purpose of a gear lubricant altogether. In addition, foam in an
enclosed gear case tends to trap heat, rather than transfer it
from the gears to the casing. The end result can be distortion
of metals, blown seals, and overall inadequate protection of
gear parts.
Contains foam
inhibitors to keep foaming at a minimum. In the ASTM D-892 Foam
Test, it shows no tendency to foam.
Protects
Against Moisture Corrosion
Even in
a tightly sealed gear case, moisture can be formed by the
constant heating and cooling the equipment undergoes. The normal
day-night cycle can cause excessive moisture build-up simply
through condensation. Moisture on gears cannot only cause
rusting, but can also lead to inadequate protection by not
allowing a gear lubricant to coat all metal surfaces. The seven
day moisture corrosion axle test was run to show the performance
characteristics of MOLY UNIVERSAL.
The results of the test indicated it provided excellent
protection against moisture corrosion. |
