Industrial Gear Oils (H3)
Industrial gear oils are categorized by their base oil (mineral, synthetic, semi-synthetic) and performance additives, such as those engineered for heavy-duty gearboxes, these oils provide exceptional protection under high load and shock conditions. They reduce friction, wear, and noise in industrial gears and drives. Perfect for steel mills, cement plants, and marine propulsion systems.
Types: (H4)
- Mineral-based oils
- Synthetic oils
- Semi-synthetic oil:
- Extreme Pressure (EP) oils
- Rust and Oxidation (R&O) inhibited oils
Key Features: (H4)
- Extreme Pressure (EP) additives: Protect gears under high load by forming a protective film on the gear surfaces, often sulfur-phosphorus compounds.
- Anti-wear additives: Minimize wear, especially in boundary lubrication conditions.
- Rust and corrosion inhibitors: Prevent rust and corrosion from forming on metal parts.
- Anti-foam agents: Reduce foam formation, which can impair lubrication effectiveness.
- Demulsifiers: Help water separate from the oil to prevent emulsions that can degrade performance.
- Viscosity Index Improvers: Polymers that help the oil's viscosity remain stable across a range of temperatures.
- Antioxidants: Increase the oil's resistance to oxidation, which helps extend its service life.
