Industrial Oils
LE’s Industrial Oils work for countless applications
Overview
- Monolec® a wear-reducing additive that creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces.
- Duolec® an impact-resistant additive that helps to form a barrier against corrosion.
- Quinplex® a dual-acting additive that imparts synergistic properties to lubricants, providing both wear-reducing and extreme pressure protection.
Comprehensive industrial oil lineup offers many benefits
LE industrial oils encompass 11 major categories, ranging from gear oils, air compressor oils and hydraulic oils to rock drill oils, turbine oils and low-toxicity oils. Because the kinds of industrial oils LE offers are so diverse, the features and benefits are also diverse. These include anti-foam, anti-wear, high-viscosity, thermal stability and high load-carrying ability, as well as many others. Among the oils in the LE line are varieties that are semi-synthetic or fully synthetic, some that meet NSF H1 requirements for incidental food contact and are certified Kosher Pareve by the Orthodox Union, and some that meet USDA H2 criteria for non-food contact areas of food processing plants. Because of these features and benefits, LE’s industrial oils can prevent rust, adhere to metal, combat acid hydrolysis, loosen corroded and frozen parts, and meet or exceed OEM requirements for various types of machinery. LE’s specially designed industrial oils continually outperform conventional oils in numerous applications. Heat exchange systems, hydraulics, centralized lubrication systems, air compressors and construction equipment all benefit from our superior formulations, which contain the right base oils and the right additive packages for each application.Industrial Oils

(9963) Synolec® Lubricant
Chains and conveyors which operate in high temperature environments are extremely difficult to lubricate effectively. Even the very finest petroleum oils oxidize very rapidly as temperatures climb, leaving behind deposits which are detrimental to smooth, efficient chain and conveyor operation.
To meet this severe test of lubricant technology, LE developed 9963 SYNOLEC® Lubricant. As the name implies, this special product is pure synthetic. It leaves no deposits to cause chains to bind, jump the sprocket or break, or conveyor rollers to slide or bind. Since 9963 SYNOLEC is an oil, it can be applied easily with standard equipment… spray, drip applicator, or brush.
Typical Applications:
Originally designed as a high temperature chain and conveyor lubricant; however, it is also appropriate for sealed-for-life bearings and other high temperature applications.
