| Outside gears, often referred to as
exposed or uncased gears, present a lubrication challenge. Due to the unshielded
operation, they are easily contaminated by dust and moisture, with frequent
re-lubrication required. To successfully lubricate outside gears, the lubricant
must stay on the gear face. It must not slip, sling, or drip off. And this
is where TAKILUBE meets the challenge! |
TAKILUBEAdhesive
and Cohesive
As a specialist in heavy-duty lubrication,
Texas Refinery Corp. continually searches for new answers to old problems.
TAKILUBE,
a result of such research, is the answer to problems presented by lubrication
of outside gears. Two characteristics of TAKILUBE
cause
it to have the "stickability" necessary for successful lubrication. One
characteristic is adhesion — the ability of TAKILUBE
to
adhere tightly to the metal surfaces. The other characteristic is cohesion
— the ability of TAKILUBE to stay on outside
gears, providing continuous lubrication.
TAKILUBEEconomical
Frequent relubrication with TAKILUBE
is
not necessary because it sticks to the face of the gears and sticks to
itself. It doesn't "pressure out" at that point of the gear face where
pressure is the greatest. Use TAKILUBE to
protect your equipment against dust, moisture, and the ravages of wear.
TAKILUBEDust
Resistant Protection
Another requirement for thorough protection
of outside gears is for the lubricant to be resistant to dust contamination.
TAKILUBE
forms
a heavy cushion on the gear face leaving a film of lubricant to shield
the gear surfaces. Unconventional thickening agents, different types of
cushioning agents, and tackiness agents are combined to keep TAKILUBE
on
the job — instead of squeezing out. Because of this elastic recoverability,
TAKILUBE
resists
accumulating as a mess on the edge of the outside gears. Pressure, created
by meshing of gears, tends to force TAKILUBE
to
the edges; but the cohesive ability of this outstanding material helps
to pull it back into the center of the gear face, assuring a constant film
of lubricant protection against dust.
TAKILUBEProtects
Against Moisture
Heavy-duty equipment is exposed to the
weather, year in and year out. Rain, dew, sleet, snow, even the hosing
down of equipment with water, means excessive moisture is present. Materials
used in TAKILUBE are highly resistant to moisture.
TAKILUBE's
superior bonding quality protects metal against damage from moisture. It
forms a shield of water-resistant protection.
TAKILUBEAvailable
In Two Weights
TAKILUBE is
available in two weights to handle a wide variety of applications. TAKILUBE
summer
weight is approximately the consistency of a Number 1 weight grease. It
provides an immediate heavy gear tooth lubricant film at the instant application
is made. TAKILUBE winter weight is the same
product with some solvent added which gives it the consistency of approximately
Number 0 weight grease. Within a short period of time after application
of winter weight, the solvent evaporates leaving behind a pliable and "tacky"
gear tooth lubricating film.
TAKILUBEVersatile
TAKILUBE,
in its two weights, is an excellent lubricant for outside gears but it
also has several other applications. For instance, both weights are used
to lubricate dipper sticks, racks, slides, and fifth wheels. |
