MOLY UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANT

BLENDED FROM QUALITY BASE OILS EXTREME PRESSURE APPROVED DRY FILM ADDITIVE ADHESIVE AND COHESIVE FOAM INHIBITORS PROTECTS AGAINST MOISTURE CORROSION

MOLY UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANT coats metal parts protecting against wear, rust and corrosion.

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.

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.

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.

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, itwill completely coat all metal parts, protecting against wear, rust, and corrosion.

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.

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 charactertistics of MOLY UNIVERSAL. The results of the test indicated itprovided excellent protection against moisture corrosion.
