Heavy-Duty Synthetic Grease Provides Extreme Protection

5100 is the Aerosol version of "Pyroshield 5182 Grease"

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 wellmore

Beneficial Qualities	N/A *Increases uptime* Lengthens equipment life Lowers lubricant consumption Reduces maintenance Superior Performance Outperforms similar products in wear protection and load-carrying ability Carries 90-lb Timken OK load Resists shock loading Provides excellent oxidation resistance and rust protection Reduces noise in large open gears *Outstanding Tackiness* Clings tenaciously to surfaces Resists removal by water, heat and other severe conditions *Wide Temperature Range* Does not thin or run at high temperatures Has no dropping point (will not melt) *Versatility* Works for open gears and heavily loaded sliding applications Comes in grades 0 and 2 to meet the needs of manual and automatic systems Also available in aerosol
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.

LE Modified Timken Test	N/A *Conclusion* The graph clearly shows the outstanding preventive wear performance that Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease provides as compared to competitive products. Load Wear Index (LWI) is a measure of lubricant's ability to carry a load and minimize wear. The higher the value, the better the lubricant does in preventing wear.
Pyroshield vs Competitive Open Gear Lubricants LWI	N/A *Conclusion* The graph clearly shows the outstanding preventive wear performance that Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease provides as compared to competitive products. Load Wear Index (LWI) is a measure of lubricant's ability to carry a load and minimize wear. The higher the value, the better the lubricant does in preventing 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.
Typical Applications	N/A Various applications in the mining and mineral processing industry Open gears and slides Ball mill open gears Kiln open gears Bar screens Dipper sticks Circle rails
