Envirolube XE Extreme TCLP-Safe Non-Asphaltic Open Gear Lubricant

For many years Whitmore’s Envirolube XE has been a proven, robust open gear lubricant used primarily on Ball Mills and Kilns. It is free of heavy metals and asphalt. Instead of asphalt, it contains a blend of high viscosity petroleum distillate, synthetic polymer and resins. The advantage over asphalt is that the spent lubricant does not harden over time. This greatly simplifies cleanup.

Whitmore now introduces a new generation of open gear lubricant, Envirolube XE Extreme. This unique product contains an additive combination that further reduces friction and wear and promotes smoothing of contact surfaces. Here’s how it works.

Scuffing wear occurs when the tips of opposing asperities momentarily weld. Envirolube XE Extreme creates an effective layer of chemical and physical protection that prevents micro-welding and scuffing. With this protective cushion in place, the high load on the gears causes the asperities to be pushed down, thus smoothing them with minimal removal of metal.

Ideally, Envirolube XE Extreme 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 XE Extreme TCLP-Safe Non-Asphaltic Open Gear Lubricant

• WEAR PROTECTION, SURFACE SMOOTHING – extends gear life and reduces operating expenses. The need for special running-in compounds is eliminated.
• GEAR INSPECTION – The brown coating is visible on the gear, but is transparent enough to allow for gear inspection using a strobe light.
• EASY CLEANUP – The non-asphaltic base remains soft. It flows readily from the gear guard and is easily removed.
• TCLP-Safe – passes the EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The spent product is not considered a “characteristic hazardous waste”.

Applications of Envirolube XE Extreme TCLP-Safe Non-Asphaltic Open Gear Lubricant

Use on heavily loaded open gears such as Ball Mills and Kilns. The Medium and Heavy grades meet the specifications of Falk, FL Smidth and Metso Minerals.

All grades are suitable for use in automatic lubrication systems using either drip tubes or spray nozzles. It is also suitable for use in airless spray systems.
