How
does the chemistry of Super Lube differ from conventional petroleum-based
greases and mineral oils?
Super
Lube Grease and Oils are exceptionally pure lubricants because they are
synthetic. This gives Super Lube very stable and predictable chemical
properties.
Petroleum-based
machine and gear oils are made from refined crude oil and contain impurities
which cannot be removed. These impurities interfere with film strength and
wear protection. They also form deposits at high temperatures and solidify
at low temperatures. Petroleum-based greases are formulated by adding
lithium, calcium, or sodium thickeners to petroleum-based oil.
What
is special about SYNCOLON® (PTFE)?
Super Lube Grease and Super Lube Oil with SYNCOLON® (PTFE) contain SYNCOLON®
(PTFE). SYNCOLON® (PTFE) is the most slippery surface (lowest coefficient
of friction) known to man. The SYNCOLON® (PTFE) particles in Super Lube
fill surface irregularities by compacting like snowflakes in a snowball to
form a smooth, lubricated surface.
SYNCOLON® (PTFE) provides improved anti-wear properties, is waterproof, not washed away by acids or alkalies, and resists temperatures to 750°F. The SYNCOLON® (PTFE) particles in Super Lube's unique patented formula are held in constant suspension ensuring they will always be evenly applied to the lubricated surface.
Super Lube Lightweight Oil does not contain SYNCOLON® (PTFE) because it is not thick enough to hold the particles in suspension. It is important to keep in mind that the synthetic chemistry of Super Lube Lightweight Oil still offers advantages over lightweight petroleum-based oils including improved wear resistance and the ability to withstand high temperatures and remain free-flowing in low temperatures. It is an excellent lubricant for dripping and misting applications and as a food-grade chain lubricant.
