Product Description
Overview
• CITGO CITGEAR Synthetic HT Gear Lubricants are fully synthetic products designed for gear applications operating at high temperatures and/or very low temperatures, severe conditions not requiring extreme pressure (EP) load protection.
Features & Benefits
- Compared to conventional mineral oil based products, CITGEAR Synthetic HT lubricants offer exceptionally low pour points and high viscosity indexes.
- High viscosity index provides higher viscosities and protective film thickness at high operating temperatures.
- Excellent low temperature properties for easy fluid pumping and equipment start-up in extreme cold environments.
- High resistant to oxidation, provides rust and corrosion protection and low foaming tendencies.
- Lower coefficients of friction than conventional mineral oils as determined in steel on steel measurements, which provides energy savings potential.
- Higher heat transfer properties than conventional mineral oils often results in cooler running machinery.
- Compatible with most conventional mineral oils.
- Compatible with essentially all elastomers, gaskets, seals such as nitrile, Buna N, Viton®, Teflon®, polyethylene, flourocarbon, polyacrylate, epoxy, and PVC. They will not deteriorate acrylic paints or lacquers.
Applications
- CITGO CITGEAR Synthetic HT Lubricants are recommended for lubrication of industrial blowers such as those manufactured by GE Energy (Roots), Gardner Denver, etc., and air and natural gas compressors.
- Note: CITGO CITGEAR Synthetic EP Gear Lubricants are recommended for gears requiring extreme pressure protection
