Enviro-GearInd 68
(INDUSTRIAL GEAR OIL; ISO VG68)
Description
Enviro-GearInd 68 is eco-friendly, biodegradable extreme pressure industrial gear oil for enclosed gear drives. Higher load carrying and scuffing load capacity protects surfaces under severe operating conditions. The high viscosity index and low pour point enables application for wide temperature range.
Application
Enviro-GearInd 68 is recommended for use in industrial gear drives and bearings where loads and shock loadings are high. The high performance gear oil is ideally suited for lubrication of closed gear drives, roller and sliding bearings at high loads, prevents micro-pitting and pitting and improves running-in behavior.
Performance Benefits
- Protects gear surfaces from micro-pitting and pitting damage.
- High viscosity index and lower pour point makes it good all-season lubricant well suited for high and low temperature extremes.
- Provides gear protection and optimal thermal stability.
- Resists thermal and oxidative breakdown, reducing varnish deposits.
- Is non-carcinogenic and environment friendly.
Performance Standards
Enviro-GearInd 68 meets product specifications as per IS: 8406-1993 (Reaffirmed 2001).
