Beneficial Qualities

• Provides long oil service life under high heat conditions
• Extends oil drains by four to six times vs ordinary oils
• Reduces maintenance costs
• Makes it easier to trace leaks due to red color
• Prolongs equipment life

Provides Long-Lasting Protection

• Outperforms similar products in wear protection and load-carrying ability (see test results on pages 2 and 3)
• Carries 90-lb Timken OK load
• Resists shock loading
• Provides excellent oxidation resistance and rust protection
• Reduces noise in large open gears

Reduces Wear, Operating Temps & Energy Use

• Possesses exceptional film strength, protecting moving parts from wear and scuffing
• Minimizes viscosity changes as temps vary, resulting in better separation of metal surfaces
• Maintains uniform lubricant layer due to highly effective foam suppressant that breaks up air bubbles as they form
• Eliminates overheating and automatic shutdowns
• Reduces frictional drag, lowering power consumption

Protects Against Water, Rust & Corrosion

• Separates rapidly from water, allowing excess water to accumulate for easy drain-off
• Provide exceptional resistance to moisture, particularly effective during periods of shutdown when cooling may cause condensation
• Protects metal surfaces against rust and corrosion, even in sensitive silver, copper and copper-lead bearings

Minimizes Carbon, Varnish & Sludge

• Inhibits carbon formation and deposits
• Reduces acids and insoluble products caused by oil oxidation
• Prevents sludging during service
• Keeps systems clean and operating smoothly

Oxidation Resistance

The Oxidation by RPVOT test (ASTM D2272) illustrates the superior oxidation resistance of Multilec as compared to various other compressor and industrial oils. In this test, a sample of the oil is placed in a sealed container with water and a copper catalyst. It is pressurized with 90 psi of oxygen and heated to 150°C (302°F). The time is measured to a 25 psi drop in pressure. This signifies a significant reaction has occurred between the lubricant and the oxygen – oxidation.

Result: Multilec Industrial Oil had a longer oxidation life and lower insoluble levels than any other oil tested – petroleum or synthetic.

Confirming data for the superior oxidation resistance of Multilec Industrial Oil comes from the PDSC test. This computer-operated thermal analysis can accurately detect any exothermic (heat-releasing) or endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical or physical changes that occur in the sample under evaluation. The graph above illustrates the time to the onset of oxidation for a number of oils at a temperature of 195°C (383°F) and an oxygen pressure of 500 psi.

Result: Multilec Industrial Oil had a longer oxidation life than any other oil tested – petroleum or synthetic.
