Envirolube TCLP-Safe Open Gear Lubricant

In almost every category of product, one brand stands out as the market leader in performance or quality. When it comes to protecting heavily loaded open gears, Whitmore’s Envirolube has been recognized by OEMs and end-users alike as that product.

No other open gear lubricant offers the protection from wear that is available from Envirolube. The combination of a dense protective film, plus special chemical Extreme Pressure additives ensures smooth operation, even on gears that operate under the most severe load conditions.

By using Envirolube on heavily loaded gears, existing wear damage such as pitting or spalling is smoothed, restoring a smooth operating surface. This process is called “Planishing”.

Envirolube creates an effective layer of chemical and physical protection that prevents scuffing and pitting. The opposing asperities experience extreme load, but are prevented from welding to each other. The pressure causes the high points to yield, and they are pushed down into the “valleys”. The end result is radical improvement in surface smoothness to both new and previously damaged gears. A separate running-in lubricant is unnecessary.

Ideally, Envirolube should be sprayed intermittently onto the gears. This allows for partial evaporation of the solvent, resulting in a dramatic increase in the viscosity of the lubricant on the gears. For large, heavily loaded Ball Mill gears a lubrication frequency of 15 to 20 minutes is normal.

Benefits of Envirolube TCLP-Safe Open Gear Lubricant

• WEAR PROTECTION, SURFACE SMOOTHING – extends gear life and reduces operating expenses. The need for special running-in compounds is eliminated.
• SURFACE SMOOTHING – Smoother surfaces spread the load, thus preventing wear.
• RUST PROTECTION – protects against rust and corrosion.
• TCLP-Safe – passes the EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The spent product is not considered a “characteristic hazardous waste”.

Applications of Envirolube TCLP-Safe Open Gear Lubricant

Envirolube meets or exceeds the requirements of major OEM’s for open gear lubricants. Use Medium grade on unheated mills in weather conditions between 0°F (-18°C) and 110°F (43°C). Use Heavy grade on heated mills up
to 220°F (105°C) or where gears are badly worn.

All grades are suitable for use in airless spray systems. Do not use with NBR rubber seals. Viton is recommended.
