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

- 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
