GEARGARD
HIGH PERFORMANCE OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT
GEARGARD™ is a high performance, semi synthetic lubricant designed for use on open gears in grinding mills (Rod, Ball and SAG mills). GEARGARD is formulated with a high flash point non-chlorinated diluent to facilitate dispensing through typical mill auto-greasing systems. After application, the solvent is designed to evaporate, leaving an adhesive and cohesive high-viscosity lubricating film. GEARGARD contains additives that provide potent extreme-pressure (EP) protection and excellent rust and corrosion prevention characteristics.
