5182, 5180 & 5100 SYNTHETIC OPEN GEAR GREASE LUBRICANT

---

Heavy-Duty Synthetic Grease Provides Extreme Protection

Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease is a heavy-duty synthetic lubricant developed for large unshrouded open gears in the mining, mineral processing and cement industries, and for other severe service applications that require a lubricant with superior wear protection, exceptional load-carrying ability, outstanding tackiness and ease of application at various temperatures. It also works well for applications in which gears experience high point-of-contact temperatures of 327°C (620°F) and above.

A product of advanced lubricant technology providing boundary lubrication, unmatched performance and versatility, Pyroshield® Syn Open Gear Grease is formulated with high-viscosity 100 percent synthetic base oil, a non-melting thickening system and LE’s proprietary heat stable additives. It contains a synergistic mix of Almasol®, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive, and a unique combination of extreme pressure additives.

Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.

Beneficial Qualities

5180 5182 Pyroshield Synthetic Open Gear Grease Lubricant

• Increases uptime
• Lengthens equipment life
• Lowers lubricant consumption
• Reduces maintenance

Superior Performance

• Outperforms similar products in wear protection and load-carrying ability
• Carries 90-lb Timken OK load
• Resists shock loading
• Provides excellent oxidation resistance and rust protection
• Reduces noise in large open gears

Outstanding Tackiness

• Clings tenaciously to surfaces
• Resists removal by water, heat and other severe conditions

Wide Temperature Range

• Does not thin or run at high temperatures
• Has no dropping point (will not melt)
• 5180 remains pumpable at low temperatures

Versatility

• Works for open gears and heavily loaded sliding applications
• Comes in grades 0 and 2 to meet the needs of manual and automatic systems
• Also available in aerosol (5100)

Typical Applications:

• Centralized automatic lubrication systems
• Use where pumpable medium-EP grease is required
• Especially good for low-temperature grease applications

Recommendation

• For best results when switching to Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease, first clean the area of application with LE’s Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil (1609)

Available Grade

• NLGI 2 applied, 2 in use (5182)
• NLGI 0 applied, 2 in use (5180)
• Aerosol as applied, 2 in use (5100)

Using Pyroshield 5100 & 5180

• Use adequate ventilation if used indoors. These lubricants contain a safe, non-chlorinated solvent for improved pumpability and ease of application at low temperatures
• After application, the solvent evaporates. The resulting lubricant is an NLGI grade 2 grease.
• 5180 should not be further diluted with solvent, even if partial evaporation has occurred, as the functional characteristics could be altered

Performance Requirements Met or Exceeded

• 5180: Metso Mineral Grinding

Typical Applications:

• Various applications in the mining and mineral processing industry
• Open gears and slides
• Ball mill open gears
• Kiln open gears
• Bar screens
• Dipper sticks
• Circle rails
