SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE
  • ADHERES TO METAL SURFACES
  • CONTAINS TACKINESS AND CUSHIONING AGENTS
  • RESISTS MOISTURE
  • PROVIDES ANTI-WEAR PROTECTION
  • OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE RANGE
  • USED IN MANY APPLICATIONS

SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE helps protect, as well as lubricate, open gears, fifth wheels, guide rails, chains, and cables, to name just a few applications.
For many years asphaltic-type open gear lubricants have been used to lubricate gears on power shovels, rotary kilns, and other heavy industrial machinery. However, there are conditions where these asphaltic open gear lubricants have not been received well by many machinery operators. Poor adhesion to metal surfaces causes high consumption. Asphaltic open gear lubricants are also known to provide less than satisfactory performance at lower temperatures due to difficulty in dispensing and the lubricant not adhering, leaving the gears unlubricated.

Adheres to Metal Surfaces

Texas Refinery Corp. developed SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE to meet the stringent requirements of an open gear lubricant - - to prolong the life of gears operating under exposed environmental conditions. Inherent in an open gear lubricant should be its ability to adhere to metal surfaces between the gear teeth; therefore, it must have good adhesive and cohesive properties. A product which is too cohesive will "ball up" and not adhere, while one which is too adhesive will be difficult to apply. These two properties are balanced in Texas Refinery Corp.'s SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE so that the lubricant will protect the surface from wear.

Contains Tackiness and Cushioning Agents

Contains tackiness agents and cushioning agents to keep the lubricant doing its job, instead of squeezing out. Extreme pressure exerted by the meshing of gears tends to force SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE to the edge, but the cohesive ability helps pull it back into the center of the gear face, assuring a constant film of lubricant protection against dust. Reduces wear by providing a dust-resistant film of protection.

Resists Moisture

Exposed gears are not only subjected to dust and dirt, but also to weather conditions, all year long. Rain, dew, sleet, snow, and even the hosing down of equipment with water mean excessive moisture is present. SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE is formulated to be highly resistant to moisture. Its superior bonding property keeps the grease from washing out in a wet environment.

Provides Anti-Wear Protection

Texas Refinery Corp. builds this greasefrom exceptionally high quality base oils to provide good oiliness properties for the grease. These quality oils contribute to its anti-wear properties, as well as rust and corrosion resistance. Rust may help cause wear on open gears, but since this grease is resistant to moisture, rust is not a problem and wear can be reduced. Italso contains special anti-wear agents - - zinc oxide and a liquid Molybdenum (moly) compound for increased anti-wear properties.

Optimum Temperature Range

Maintains "grease-like" consistency for proper lubrication over a wide temperature range. It can be applied easily from a tube used in a heavy duty caulking gun or from a pail or drum. Can be pumped at approximately 40°F. and has a minimum dropping point of 290°F.

Used In Many Applications

Formulated to be used for many applications. It is excellent for open gear and sliding applications such as guide rails and fifth wheels. Also, it has been found to be a tough, long-lasting lubricant in the almond picking industry. In addition, it's authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an H2 lubricant which has no contact with food. SPECIAL EXPOSED GEAR GREASE will not slip, sling or drip off . . . it's the answer to the challenge of open gears!
