Product Profile of Fully Synthetic Polyglycol Based Gear Oils
Fuchs Lubrications [India] Pvt. Ltd ensures varieties of specialty products. Fully synthetic polyglycol based gear oils are part of those products. The importance of gear- and general lubrication oils based on polyglycols is still growing. The initial raw materials for producing polyglycol are petroleum and natural gas. Polymers of different chain lengths are produced by the thermal decomposition and subsequent synthesis of the raw materials. Fully synthetic polyglycol based gear oils are suitable for highly-stressed spur gear, planetary gear and worm gear drives. Applications when enhanced gliding performance is requested, transmission oils on polyglycol basis have advantages compared to mineral oils. Key features are as follows:
very good viscosity-temperature behavior
high pressure absorption capacity
high wear protection
very low friction coefficient; because of this reduction in operating temperature is possible
very good oxidation stability, high aging resistance
excellent corrosion protection of steel and non-ferrous metals
low foaming characteristics
high flash point
