BLENDSTOCKS enhance synthetic lubricant performance

Synesstic™ Alkylated Naphthalene (AN) Blendstocks enhance the performance of synthetic lubricants. Now formulators can create more advanced lubricants across the spectrum of performance, stability and cost-effectiveness. For applications ranging from compressor oils and hydraulic fluids to high temperature greases, Synesstic AN Blendstocks low- and high-viscosity configurations offer: step-out hydrolytic stability; outstanding thermal and oxidative stability; excellent additive solubility; compatibility with a wide range of elastomers and non-emulsive properties. They are also high stable, requiring no special equipment for safe handling or storage.

FLUID DISPENSING MACHINE for heavy grease materials

The JB1113 air-controlled bench-mounted fluid dispenser is a compact, foot-pedal-controlled system which includes a timer for accurate deposits from 0.01 seconds through 30 seconds and a "snuff-back" control to assist in the prevention of fluid drooling after a dispense cycle. It is suitable for use with watery liquids and heavy grease materials. Operation is simple, requiring only a standard 80 psi air input and simple "plug in the wall" connection. An accessory kit is included.

FOOD GRADE GREASE AND OIL PRODUCTS withstand repeated washdowns

Tri-Flow® Food Grade Grease and Oil will not emulsify in dead-water washout. With only 1.9% loss per washout, they can withstand 3-4 washouts before re-application. They are both ideal for beverage and food-processing plants, as well as water and waste treatment plants, where daily washouts are required. Tri-Flow® Food Grade Grease prevents friction and wear on virtually any metal-to-metal contact. It is compatible with most rubbers and plastics and is excellent for "O" rings, gaskets, pump bearings, can sealers, valves, conveyors, sterilizer chains, slides, electric motors, water filters and universal joints. Tri-Flow® Food Grade Oil can be used in both food and non-food grade industrial applications as a general purpose lubricant for gear boxes, bearings,  motors, chains and conveyors.

CENTRALIZED LUBE SYSTEM with adjustable injector feeders

The ExactoServe® centralized lubrication system utilizes positive displacement volumetric output injectors to deliver precise amounts of oil or grease to machinery friction points. Four basic injector models covering a broad discharge range are available. Setting injectors to desired output is easy -- a simple screw adjustment locks in output setting -- users can lubricate small, medium or large bearings on machines with a single lube point or hundreds of points. The injectors operate in normal and harsh, wet, dusty environments. Single and manifold versions are offered to service individual lube points or bearing clusters. Injectors can be mounted in any position on machinery.

LUBRICANT ADDITIVES for environmentally sensitive applications

The Durad® 40, Durad® 48 and Durad® 60 trialkyl phosphate anti-wear and extreme-pressure lubricant additives can be used as effective alternatives to aryl phosphate additives for environmentally sensitive applications where the release of phenolic materials is a concern. Durad neutral trialkyl phosphates synergize very effectively with sulfur carriers to provide enhanced extreme-pressure performance for applications such as gear oils and metalworking. They also alleviate the need for additional lubricity additives.

HYGROSCOPIC BREATHERS prevent lubrication system contamination

Sphinx Des-Case™ Hygroscopic Breathers remove moisture and particulates from the wet, dirty air entering industrial equipment reservoirs such as hydraulic tanks and gear boxes, or large storage and process tanks. The units employ a desiccant to extract water vapour from the air and a microglass pleated filter to remove particles down to one micron. Featuring a visual indication of when to change the desiccant, which turns pink when 100% saturated, these self-contained units let only clean, dry air into the lubrication system to prevent contamination.

AQUEOUS GRAPHITE SUSPENSION features high purity

SLIP-COAT® 702A is a high-purity suspension of finely ground graphite and binder in a distilled base. When applied to seal material, it produces a thin, clean adherent layer of binder and lubricating solids to reduce friction and wear and the unraveling of the woven braid when the seal is cut to size. SLIPCOAT® 737 is a high-purity suspension of ground graphite and binder in a water base which stabilizes the woven seal material. When applied to seal material, it produces a thin, clean adherent layer  of binder lubricating solids to reduce friction and wear and the unraveling of the woven braid when the seal is cut to size.
