Description
The LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL grades consist of a range of ISO VG lubricants formulated to provide the user with superior performance under demanding operating conditions. Water soluble polyalkylene glycol base stocks, known to provide outstanding micropitting and EP characteristics are used to manufacture these lubricants. With the addition of a high performance, food approved additive package, these products are able to offer excellent thermal stability, high wear reduction rates, high micropitting resistance and load carrying ability as well as good corrosion protection. The LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL ranges have been specially formulated for use as industrial gearbox lubricants within the food manufacturing environment. As such, they have achieved approval within a number of different gear designs, these include: Helical; Bevel Helical; Planetary; Worm Gears. Polyurethane based elastomers, leather, cork, asbestos, paper and board should be avoided. Common seal and gasket materials are unaffected by LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL Synthetic Gear Oils. Nitrile Rubber (NBR), FluoroSilicone or Vinyl-Methyl Polysiloxane (Q) are recommended especially where high temperatures are involved. Ordinary industrial paints soften in the presence of these products. Internal gearbox surfaces should ideally be unpainted, or coated with resistant materials, for example a resistant two-pack epoxy formulation. These products must never be mixed with mineral or PAO based products.
