CITGO-CITGEAR SYNTHETIC EP 220 5/GAL PAIL
Designed for highly loaded gear applications operating at high temperatures and/or very low temperatures, severe conditions, or requiring extreme pressure (EP) protection.
Exceptionally low pour points and high viscosity indexes, as compared to conventional, mineral oil-based products. The high viscosity index provides higher viscosity and greater film thickness at high temperatures, and lower viscosities for easy start-up at low temperatures. EP additives protect gears operating in the boundary lubrication regime and guard against failures associated with heavy loading and severe operation. Exhibit low foaming tendencies, high oxidation resistance, and provide excellent rust and corrosion protection. Lower coefficients of friction than mineral oils, providing reduced energy consumption. Superior heat transfer properties, as compared with conventional oils, often result in machinery operating at cooler temperatures. Compatible with essentially all commonly used elastomers, gaskets, and seals such as nitrile, Buna N, Viton®, Teflon®, polyethylene, flourocarbon, polyacrylate, epoxy, and PVC. Will not deteriorate acrylic paints or lacquers. With proper maintenance, useful service life may be extended beyond that associated with mineral oils.
Recommendated Usage
- Recommended for gears requiring EP protection, for applications which experience a wide range of temperatures, and where a long-lasting fluid is desired for extended drain intervals
- Especially recommended for lubricating industrial enclosed gears, sealed-for-life systems, and heavily loaded plain or roller element bearings
- Recommended for splash lubrication, idler immersion, forced drip, and mechanical spray systems
- No flushing or cleaning is required when converting from mineral oils to these synthetic products
- Refer to equipment owner’s manual for proper lubricant recommendation
