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.

N/A *Conclusion* The results of the comparative product testing demonstrate the outstanding load-carrying capacity of Pyroshield Syn Open Gear Grease. It outperformed every competitive product that was tested. Pyroshield had a narrower wear scar and a lower block temperature than all the other lubricants. The test blocks of the competitive products experienced higher temperatures as a result of friction due to poor lubrication. The difference is easily visible in the amount of discoloration of the test blocks.

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.
