Phillips 66 Lubricants Announces New Triton OG SS Gear Lubricant
Addition of Semi-Synthetic Open Gear Lubricant Expands Suppliers’ Specialized Products Lineup to More Than 20 Offerings
Phillips 66 Lubricants, has announced the launch of Triton OG SS, a high-performance, semi-synthetic gear lubricant specifically developed to meet the demands of heavily loaded, slow moving gears and bearings. Recommended for the lubrication and cushioning of open and semi-enclosed gear drives found in mills and kilns, this new product features excellent adhesion to metal surfaces, has a high film strength (reduces the tendency for lubricant “squeeze-out”), extreme-pressure protection and resistance to water washout.
“We developed Triton OG SS as a cost-effective crusher lubricant recommended for use in open and semi-enclosed gear drives in rotary kilns and mills found in the cement, limestone and gypsum operations,” said Eric Lancaster, Director of Industrial Products at Phillips 66 Lubricants. “This lubricant is a great option for protecting heavily loaded, low-speed gears and bearings.”
The Triton OG SS gear lubricant is formulated with a carefully selected combination of synthetic base stocks, high-viscosity mineral oils and extreme-pressure additives to minimize wear in large roller and thrust bearings and to protect heavily loaded, low-speed gears under boundary lubrication condition. The use of synthetic base stocks produces a lubricant with high viscosity index that allows for good pump ability at lower temperatures while maintaining excellent film thickness at higher temperatures.
The amber-colored, solvent-free formulation is free of heavy metals, bitumen and solid additives. It is suitable for use in existing lubricant spray systems, allowing for easy conversion from lubricants containing bitumen.
