PAG Polyglycol Industrial Gear Oils
Compared to mineral oils, these products are particularly suitable for high-temperature lubrication of gears and bearings, e.g. in calenders. In worm gears that are operated with mineral oils at low speed and high torque in the boundary lubrication range, pitting often occurs and, as a result, the worm gears wear quickly. Two-component machine paints that are compatible with PAG are available on the market. (Avoid phenolic paints). Natural rubber, cork and leather seals are not compatible. Rinsing well when changing products with low mineral oils ensures safety. Water entry with water-soluble PAG reduces the viscosity. The water content has no significant influence on bearing corrosion. Depending on the application, the total cost of ownership can be low. Not recommended for aluminum / steel tribological contact surfaces (chemical wear)
