MAGNA™ SYN EP INDUSTRIAL GEAR OIL
MAGNA™ SYN EP INDUSTRIAL GEAR OIL
Magna Syncon EP Industrial Gear Oil is a premium quality, synthetic, extreme pressure industrial gear lubricant developed for the lubrication of enclosed gear drives and heavily loaded plain or rolling element bearings operating at extreme temperatures or in severe service. It is suitable for use over a wider temperature range than conventional mineral oil-based gear oils. It meets the performance requirements of major gear drive manufacturers. Syncon EP Industrial Gear Oil is formulated with synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils, a viscosity modifier, and a non chlorinated extreme-pressure additive package. It has outstanding oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures to help minimize deposit formation and provide long service life. It has high load carrying capacity for protection against scuffing and wear, protects against rust and corrosion, and is resistant to excessive foaming that can interfere with proper lubrication. It has a high viscosity index and low pour point for use in equipment operating at extreme temperatures or over a very wide temperature range.
