Almasol® Pure Mineral Gear Lubricant (401)
Product Description
Provides Exceptional Gear Protection without EP Additive
Almasol® Pure Mineral Gear Lubricant (401) is a balanced formulation of base oil, rust and oxidation inhibitors, wear-reducing agents, and other additives that provides the highest level of protection possible without the inclusion of an extreme pressure additive. When transmission and gearbox manufacturers specify a “pure” or “straight” mineral oil gear oil, it should not contain a chemically active EP agent; other additives, however, are still acceptable for inclusion. In addition to other highly desirable additives, the Almasol 401 formulation contains Almasol, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive that protects against premature wear and shields metal against corrosive attack.

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Almasol® Pure Mineral Gear Lubricant contains Almasol.
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-tometal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.
