New Grease Additive Announced

A new highly concentrated liquid grease additive, FUNCTIONAL V-4033, has been developed to improve water spray-off in greases. The liquid additive contains a grafted polymer that will react with the soap to improve adhesion to metal surfaces. The concentrated liquid reduces treat rates compared to other liquid additives and increases the consistency of the blending results when compared to solid additives.

The product can be blended into the grease at the beginning of the reaction or added with the cooling oil. The liquid additive flows at room temperature and can be heated to facilitate handling.

Saw Guide Oil Additive Package Announced

A new saw guide oil additive package has been introduced for the lumber industry. While FUNCTIONAL SGP-567 is designed for both bio derived and mineral oil base stocks, performance data encourages the use of biodegradable, environmentally-friendly vegetable oil base stocks for optimum performance in this application.

FUNCTIONAL SGP-567 is a robust, non-hazardous, multifunctional additive that provides antiwear, mild EP, rust protection and enhanced lubricity. FUNCTIONAL SGP-567 is recommended for multi-blade, gang saws and trimmers commonly used in lumber production.

New industrial gear oil additive packages announced

Three new light color gear oil packages have been introduced.  These products offer excellent EP performance with a Timkin weld load of >60 lbs with low scarring, an EP weld point of 250 kg and an ASTM D130 copper strip rating of 1b. GA-502 is intended for vegetable oil and synthetic ester formulations and GA-602 and GA-604 are intended for Groups I – III mineral oils and PAOs.

FUNCTIONAL GA-502 is a high-performance open gear oil additive package having EP/antiwear, copper/steel corrosion inhibition, water demulsification, tackiness properties, pour point depressant and oxidation inhibition especially suited for biobased open gear lubricants.  Gear oils formulated with FUNCTIONAL GA-502 and vegetable oil base stocks can be considered to be readily biodegradable.

 

FUNCTIONAL GA-602 is a high-performance open gear oil additive package having EP/antiwear, copper/ steel corrosion inhibition, tackiness properties and oxidation inhibition especially suited for mineral oil based open gear lubricants.  FUNCTIONAL GA-602 is formulated with a tackifier which allows the lubricant to adhere to gear surfaces further reducing corrosion and wear.

 

FUNCTIONAL GA-604 is a high-performance oil additive package having EP/antiwear, copper/steel corrosion inhibition, pour point depressant and oxidation inhibition especially suited for mineral oil based enclosed gear lubricants.
