Applications
  • Enclosed industrial gear systems operating under light to moderate loads.
  • Circulating oil systems for bearings and gearboxes.
  • Machine tools, conveyors, and light-duty reducers requiring ISO VG 68 grade gear oil.
  • Systems working in moderately high temperatures and steady operating conditions.
Features & Benefits
  • Superior Wear Protection
    Minimizes gear tooth wear and protects components even under boundary lubrication conditions.
  • Excellent Oxidation Stability
    Prevents sludge buildup and oil thickening, ensuring cleaner systems and extended oil life.
  • Effective Rust & Corrosion Protection
    Guards against metal surface corrosion even in damp or humid environments.
  • Foam Control and Air Release
    Reduces foam formation for uninterrupted lubrication and improved gear system efficiency.
  • Good Thermal Stability
    Maintains consistent viscosity and protection over a wide temperature range.
Health & Safety:

Avoid prolonged skin contact. Use gloves during handling. In case of contact with skin or eyes, wash immediately with clean water. Dispose of used oil responsibly and consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for further information.
