LE releases latest Duolec lubricant

Lubrication Engineers (LE) has extended its range of industrial lubricants that contain Duolec, the company's dual-acting extreme pressure/anti-wear additive.

LE 1302 Duolec is an ISO 68 high-performance industrial oil designed for use in any industrial gear or bearing application that requires a thermally stable, extreme pressure lubricant.

It also meets the requirements for use in many machine tool ways, journal bearings in blower fans and water pumps.

The 1302 Duolec lubricant has the same performance characteristics of the 1600 series Duolec vari-purpose gear lubricants.

LE 1302 Duolec is formulated using a blend of high-quality paraffinic and synthetic base fluids that, in combination, have been found to provide excellent oxidation resistance, thermal stability and film strength.

It contains a highly shear stable tackiness system that allows it to adhere to metal components, yet remain tacky and within viscosity grade during high shear use or filtration.

This blend of base fluids and thermally stable EP additives enables it to resist sludge formation in high temperature gear and bearing applications.

The industrial lubricant separates readily from water to provide effective lubrication when moisture is present.

In most cases, LE 1302 Duolec will float on top of the cutting fluid and not emulsify.

When used on machine tool ways, this allows easy separation of the LE 1302 Duolec from the cutting fluid.

It also contains non-silicone defoaming additives that will not be removed during oil filtration.

LE 1302 Duolec also meets the performance specifications for the Cincinnatti Machine P-47 amongst several other specifications.
