Protogear EP 460

Protogear EP 460

Balmerol Protogear EP 460 are premium quality all purpose industrial gear oils. Balmerol Protogear EP 460 oils are manufactured from high quality selected paraffinic base stocks fortified with extreme pressure additives and combination of synergistic additives; like antirust, antifoam and antioxidation agent to achieve the required performance level of different standards and to prevent scuffing in heavily loaded application. Having excellent oxidation resistance, thermal stability and good seal compatibility with normal seal materials. Balmerol Protogear EP 460 contains phosphorous and sulfur as extreme pressure agents. These are non-corrosive to copper and copper alloy. Balmerol Protogear EP 460 oils can be filtered or centrifuged without the loss of additives. Balmerol Protogear EP 460 give dependable performance for continuous service at operating temperature upto 110o C.

Balmerol Protogear EP 460 provides the following benefits:
  • Very good EP/ Anti-wear properties: Enhanced protection of gears and bearings leading to more reliable operation.
  • Lower Deposit formation and superior Oxidation & Thermal stability: Clean performance even during high-temperature operation, ensuring higher oil drain intervals.
  • Superior filterability characteristics: No loss of additives during filtration.
  • Compatible with normal seal materials: Less leakage, lower chance of ingress of contaminants in equipment, better equipment protection and housekeeping.
Applications / Recommendations:
  • Recommended for lubrication of all types of circulation, spray, splash, or dip bath lubrication mechanisms.
  • Most suitable for use in all conventional types of gears, sliding mechanisms, chain drives, and flexible couplings.
  • Recommended for use in mechanisms operating under heavy/shock loads and vibrations.
  • Suitable for use in continuous recirculation systems incorporating filters.
