Lubrication Engineers - Pyroshield® Syn Open Gear Grease 5100, 5180 & 5182

Heavy-Duty Synthetic Grease Provides Extreme Protection

Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease is a heavy-duty synthetic lubricant developed for large unshrouded open gears in the mining, mineral processing and cement industries, and for other severe service applications that require a lubricant with superior wear protection, exceptional load-carrying ability, outstanding tackiness and ease of application at various temperatures. It also works well for applications in which gears experience high point-of-contact temperatures of 327ºC (620ºF) and above.

A product of advanced lubricant technology providing boundary lubrication, unmatched performance and versatility, Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease is formulated with high-viscosity 100 percent synthetic base oil, a non-melting thickening system and LE's proprietary heat stable additives. It contains a synergistic mix of Almasol®, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive, and a unique combination of extreme pressure additives.

Available Grades	N/A LE's proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease contains Almasol. Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900ºF (1,038ºC). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.

Recommendations	N/A For best results when switching to Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease, first clean the area of application with LE’s Duolec® Vari-Purpose Gear Lubricant (1609). Using Pyroshield 5100 & 5180 Use adequate ventilation if used indoors. These lubricants contain a safe, non-chlorinated solvent for improved pumpability and ease of application at low temperatures. After application, the solvent evaporates. The resulting lubricant is an NLGI grade 2 grease. 5180 should not be further diluted with solvent, even if partial evaporation has occurred, as the functional characteristics could be altered.
