| Texas Refinery Corp. has a reputation
for constant research . . . for continually looking for new ways to improve
product formulations to meet today's needs. By adding Molybdenum Disulfide
to one of the finest greases on the market, LITHPLEX,
Texas Refinery Corp. has developed an excellent grease for general purpose
lubrication as well as a grease which can withstand the most severe conditions.
In addition, MOLY LITHPLEX is authorized by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an H2 lubricant which has no contact
with food. |
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEHas
A Wide Temperature Range
Demands are placed upon today's equipment
to be able to operate in much higher temperatures than ever before. To
operate properly in these elevated temperatures, equipment must have special
lubrication designed for use at higher temperatures. MOLY
LITHPLEX is specifically designed to provide superior lubrication
and protection for special uses. With a dropping point of 500° F. minimum,
applications for use in Steel Mills, Coke Plants, and Blast Furnace Plants
are examples of a few industries that can benefit from using MOLY
LITHPLEX for their day-to-day lubrication needs.
Traditional lithium greases have a typical
dropping point of 350° F. to 360° F. Extremely high temperatures
can cause these lubricants to actually melt and drip, thus reducing their
lubricating ability. MOLY LITHPLEX stays put
at high temperatures, protecting vital equipment as well as reducing grease
consumption.
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEHas
Extreme Pressure Qualities
With a Timken OK Load rating of 65 pounds
minimum, MOLY LITHPLEX stays put where lesser
greases fail to provide the protection for which they were intended. Some
applications can place enough pressure on the grease to force it from the
metal surfaces, allowing metal-to-metal contact. The extreme pressure qualities
of MOLY LITHPLEX make it an ideal lubricant
for most applications requiring special needs. Also, since it stays put,
grease consumption should be considerably lower.
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEContains
A Dry Film Additive
By combining 3% Molybdenum Disulfide
(Moly) with high temperature qualities and extreme pressure qualities of
LITHPLEX,
Texas Refinery Corp. has formulated a superb lubricant to use in even the
most adverse conditions. Moly can be considered an added "insurance policy"
against lubrication failure and breakdowns.
When viewed under a microscope, metal
surfaces are rough. Even though metal appears smooth, it has "hills" and
"valleys." When a unit starts to move, the "hills" come into contact with
each other. The resulting heat and pressure can actually weld the areas
together. As the motion continues, the welded sections tear apart and the
surface areas become rougher, increasing friction and wear. Galling and
scoring can result from this metal-to-metal contact.
Moly smooths over the "hills" and "valleys"
of a surface, eliminating metal-to-metal contact. The metal surfaces are
held apart by the Moly within the grease.
As temperatures become great enough
to volatilize petroleum grease, Moly is left behind to lubricate. Under
conditions of continuous high temperatures, periodic flushing with MOLY
LITHPLEX helps keep lubrication at its maximum.
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEIs
Adhesive And Cohesive
In order to properly lubricate, a grease
must cling to metal, withstanding movement and centrifugal force, or other
conditions that could splatter and sling the grease. MOLY
LITHPLEX has been specially formulated to be adhesive (cling to
metal) and cohesive (cling to itself, or avoid pulling apart). It provides
an excellent dust barrier . . . and seals out moisture that can cause rust
and corrosion.
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEIs
Compatible With Other Lithium Soap Greases
Lithium soap greases make up a good
percentage of the lubrication in use on today's equipment. MOLY
LITHPLEX will blend and mix with most of these other greases, proving
to be very compatible and providing excellent protection. However, it should
be noted, Lithium greases should not be mixed with other greases with different
soap bases. These two incompatible types of greases can destroy the effectiveness
of both, leaving equipment with inadequate lubrication.
MOLY LITHPLEX GREASEIs
Versatile
MOLY LITHPLEX
has
many superior qualities (i.e. 3% MoS2, 500° F. dropping
point, and 65 lb. Timken OK Load) that make it an extremely versatile grease.
It is recommended for general lubrication of passenger vehicles, trucks,
and in farm, earth moving, mining, construction, marine, logging, and industrial
machinery. MOLY LITHPLEX can replace several
types of grease, thereby reducing inventory and providing economy through
long life and inventory consolidation. |
