Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Clarity® Synthetic Machine Oils are designed for use as EP gear oils and as paper machine oils.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS:
Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils deliver value through: • High temperature stability — Exceptional performance in the ASTM D943 Turbine Oil Stability Test. The test ran for >11,000 hours (>1 year) vs. 4000 hours for the mineral oil formulas. • Long lubricant life — The PAO base oils with their high viscosity index, combined with a well-balanced additive package, minimize oil breakdown and maximize oil life. • Excellent wear protection — Helps provide high FZG, Timken, and AGMA EP performance. • Excellent water separability — The lubricants readily separate from water. • Effective foam inhibition — Helps minimize amount of entrained air in the oils, minimizing the possibility of pump cavitation and also helps prevent surface foam. • Pall wet filterability — Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils provide excellent wet filtration with low porosity filters, as determined by the Pall Filterability Test. • Environmental sensitivity — Ashless formulation facilitates reclaiming and recycling circulating oils.
FEATURES:
Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils combine our proprietary ashless formulation with the superior performance properties of polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base oils. This combination provides greatly enhanced thermal and oxidation stability. In addition, the high viscosity index of the PAO base oils offers greater lubricant film thickness than mineral oil-based products at high operating temperatures. Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils also offer excellent EP properties, allowing them to be used as EP gear lubricants. Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils have excellent demulsibility (water separating ability) and wet filterability, as defined by the Pall Filterability Test. Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils can be combined with mineral oil products for recycling purposes. They provide long lubricant life due to exceptional oxidation stability, resulting in minimal lubricant usage and disposal.
FUNCTIONS:
These products are formulated to meet critical demands of industrial equipment exposed to temperatures where mineral oil-based fluids are shortlived. The extraordinary thermal and oxidative stability of PAOs are boosted by the outstanding antioxidant package in the Clarity Synthetic Machine Oil formulas. The oils also contain highly effective antirust and nontraditional EP additives. Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils 150, 220, 320, and 460 may be used as AGMA 4 EP, 5 EP, 6 EP, and 7 EP oils, respectively. Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils provide excellent filtration performance in the Pall Filterability Test using low micron filters. This test defines oils having good filterability as giving 2000 mL filtration. After >10,000 mL, Clarity Synthetic Machine Oils were still filterable.
