Composition & Function
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Base Composition | High molecular weight polymer dissolved in a refined mineral oil |
| Primary Function | Acts as a tackifier to increase the adhesion of lubricants to surfaces and enhance film persistence |
Key Performance Benefits
- Improved Lubricant Retention: Maintains a stable lubricant film even during periods of machine shutdown, reduces lubricant drain-off from vertical or moving surfaces, and lowers reapplication frequency due to improved in-place longevity.
- Enhanced Film Thickness: Promotes robust hydrodynamic lubrication, provides better corrosion protection in moisture-prone or high-stress environments, and ensures consistency of lubrication under variable load conditions.
- Superior Surface Adhesion: Minimizes washout due to water, steam, or vibration, reduces lubricant spillage, and is essential for high-motion or outdoor systems such as chains or wire ropes.
- Mist Coalescence in Misting Applications: Reduces mist dispersion and fog formation, ensures controlled coalescence of lubricant particles, and improves lubricant delivery and minimizes loss in mist-based systems.
Typical Applications
- Lubricating Oils: Bar & Chain Oils, Slideway Oils, Open Gear Lubes, Rock Drill Oils, Wire Rope Lubricants, Textile & Metalworking Equipment Oils.
- Greases: Compatible with all soap types (lithium, calcium, aluminum complex), reduces water spray-off, and improves film stability in high-speed or high-moisture conditions.
- Specialty Products: Preservative Oils, Sealants & Mastics, Paints & Coatings.
