Texclad®- GREASES
Texclad grease is a blackish, smooth water-stabilized calcium grease containing selected graphite and molybdenum disulfide additives.
Texclad Grease is recommended for use on open gears, wire ropes, and general grease points of deck equipment. Texclad can be used in cases where the use of bitumen is an environmental problem. It is formulated with a high-viscosity base oil and solid lubricants to provide excellent lubrication in heavy-duty operations. Texclad grease is classified according to DIN 52512 classification as KF 2 E.”
Product description:
Texclad Grease is a proven performance heavy-duty calcium grease. It is smooth, buttery and water stabilized, providing reliable, highly adhesive water wash-out protection. Texclad 2 contains a high viscosity base oil and solid graphite and molybdenum disulfide additives providing a tough, durable oil film and extreme heavy-duty wear protection. Texclad 2 is bitumen-free, reducing environmental impact.
Customer benefits:
- Extreme high load-carrying performance
- Highly adhesive – stays in place in open gears
- Water wash-out resistant
- No flaking or lumping down to 0°C
Applications:
Texclad 2 is generally recommended for use on fifth wheels and open gears in construction machinery, ball mill gears and large enclosed spur gears where oil leakage is a problem.
Other specific applications are:
- Forklift rails and wheel-drive gears
- Slipper drives (steel mils)
- Rigs (back-up legs), Dredging (cutting heads)
- Traveling water screens
- Exposed gears in construction, mining, and industrial equipment
- Dipper sticks on excavating shovels
- Automotive fifth wheels (tractor-trailer turntables)
- Steel girth gears (girth tires) on rotary kilns and crushing mills
- Sugar mill plain bearings, when fluid lubricants have shown a tendency to leak
- Underwater dredging buckets
- Jacking legs on offshore drilling rigs
- Marine wire ropes
Texclad 2 can be used at higher temperatures than +60°C, in special cases where the carrier grease is thermally decomposed leaving the solid mineral additives to provide lubrication. About 22% graphite and 3% MoS2 will remain.
Texclad Grease Performance Benefits:
- Effective Water Resistance
Good adhesive properties and effective resistance to water washout minimize loss of lubricant in service.
- Protect Metal Surfaces
High load-carrying capacity and anti-wear additives extend gear tooth life in heavy-duty service. Resistance to flaking at low temperatures maintains surface protection.
- Solid Film Protection
Graphite and molybdenum disulfide provides solid-film protection in event of loss or degradation of the fluid lubricant.
