Earthwise EAL Wire Rope Grease (3353) is recommended for use in applications on or near the waterways. It is an EAL and meets the specifications required by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit (VGP). It is readily biodegradable, exhibits minimal aquatic toxicity and will not accumulate in the cells of fish and other aquatic life forms. It is a soft, semifluid formulation designed to coat wire rope as well as moving chain and cable parts to ensure long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its semi-tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere to the application and seal out damaging moisture and protect against rust formation.

Pyroshield Syn Hvy & XHvy Open Gear Lubricants are heavy-duty synthetic fluids designed to provide outstanding protection for high-load, heavy-shock applications, such as large shrouded open gears used in the mining, mineral processing and cement industries. Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Lubricants are non-asphaltic and environmentally friendly, containing no heavy metals. Each lubricant features a synergistic mix of Almasol®, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive, and a unique combination of extreme pressure additives.

Almasol® Syntemp Grease - LE9901

Typical Applications:  Open Gears - Low Speed Plain - Bearings - Cables - Chains - Sliding Surfaces

LE’s ALMASOL® Syntemp Lubricant is a high temperature extreme pressure (EP) lubricant made from a very heavy synthetic fluid and non-melting base. It is specially formulated to provide exceptional protection at temperatures at which petroleum oils would completely oxidize (or carbonize). ALMASOL® Syntemp Lubricant is excellent for use on large open gears exposed to very high temperatures. It is also recommended for use on kiln girth gears, large industrial gearing, oven chains, sliding surfaces, large slow moving (friction) bearings and similar applications. Contains ALMASOL®, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive, which protects against metal-to-metal contact and also serves to reduce friction and heat. ALMASOL® Syntemp Lubricant has exceptional water resistance and thus, remains unaffected by boiling water and steam. It also contains special rust inhibitors that prevent rust and corrosion.

User Benefits

​

Has high oxidation resistance

  • Even at extreme temperatures 9901 Almasol Syntemp Lubricant will not leave undesirable oxidation products such as varnish or gum.

​

High load carrying capacity

  • Ensures protection from wear even under the heaviest of loads. This high film strength of this product serves to cushion gear teeth when heavy or shock loads are encountered

​

Non-melting

  • Is formulated with a non-melting thickener, which ensures that the lubricant will not liquefy and run out of bearings or run off gears, cables or chains.

  • ​

Reduced equipment failures due to superior wear and corrosion protection.

Elimination of deposit build-up; does not form carbon or varnish deposits.

Less lubricant is needed due to superior oxidation resistance.

Recommendations

​

Use where an extremely high temperature, synthetic lubricant is required. This lubricant is typically designed for large bearings operating at very slow speeds.
