| MOLY UNIVERSAL
GEAR LUBRICANT from Texas Refinery Corp. is formulated to meet the
stringent requirements demanded by today's equipment. The added protection
of molybdenum disulfide can extend the efficiency and life of equipment.
With the increase in power output to gear systems, the importance of a
superior gear lubricant is essential since there is greater stress on the
bearing and gear teeth. MOLY UNIVERSAL provides
protection from high speed and adverse conditions. In addition, MOLY
UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANTS are authorized by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture as H2 lubricants which have no contact with food. |

UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANTIs
Blended From Quality Base Oils
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.

Extreme Pressure Approved
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 MOLY UNIVERSAL is an exceptional
gear lubricant.

A Dry Film Additive
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.

Adhesive and Cohesive
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,
MOLY
UNIVERSAL will completely coat all metal parts, protecting against
wear, rust, and corrosion.
MOLY
UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANTContains
Foam Inhibitors
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.
MOLY UNIVERSAL
contains
foam inhibitors to keep foaming at a minimum. In the ASTM D-892 Foam Test,
MOLY
UNIVERSAL shows no tendency to foam.
MOLY
UNIVERSAL GEAR LUBRICANTProtects
Against Moisture Corrosion
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 MOLY
UNIVERSAL provided excellent protection against moisture corrosion. |
