PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic
Polymeric Off-Road Grease (GPOR1,
GPOR2) combines an
over-based calcium-sulfonate complex thickener
and proprietary synthetic polymeric technology
to provide outstanding performance in heavy duty
off-road applications.
AMSOIL developed an exclusive synthetic
polymeric system custom-built to provide
performance benefits specific to off-road
equipment. This synthetic technology helps give
AMSOIL Off-Road Grease tenacious cling ability
and maximum pound-out resistance over extended
service intervals, even in wet environments.
EXTREME
IMPACT RESISTANCE
Greased components in heavy equipment are
subjected to serious abuse. Virtually all
heavy-duty off-road equipment operates under
heavy-load conditions. The extreme impact common
to off-road equipment forces all of that heavy
load (pressure) onto places where the equipment
pivots, relying on the grease to prevent
metal-to-metal contact. Lesser quality greases
cannot withstand the load and are pounded out of
the impact area. When pound-out occurs, heavily
loaded components are left unlubricated, which
can result in metal-to-metal contact and extreme
amounts of wear.
AMSOIL Off-Road Grease’s
exclusive synthetic polymeric technology
provides exceptional adhesion (ability to cling
to components) and cohesion (ability to cling to
itself) properties. It is engineered to resist
pound-out better than other greases in
heavily-loaded, extreme-pressure applications
and stay in place longer, providing outstanding
lubrication over extended service intervals and
reducing the detrimental effects of missed
grease points.
5% Moly-Fortified
to Meet CAT Requirements
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is
heavily fortified with moly for maximum wear
protection to meet Caterpillar’s requirement for
pin and bushing applications. Its high Timken OK
load and excellent four-ball wear and four-ball
weld test results are proof of its exceptional
load-bearing capacity.
Extended
Service Life, Excellent Value
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease
provides serious severe-duty performance over
extended service intervals. It resists pound-out
and significantly reduces the amount of grease
ejected during repetitive pounding action. Field
test results show that AMSOIL Synthetic
Polymeric Off-Road Grease reduces grease
consumption by up to 50 percent. That allows
operators to either maintain their current
maintenance schedule and use up to 50 percent
less grease per application, or extend the
length of time between re-greasing intervals.
Its superior pound-out resistance combined with
extended service intervals and superior
protection result in reduced lubricant, labor
and equipment-replacement costs.
Excellent
Water Washout Resistance
Greased components on heavy equipment are
frequently exposed to water. AMSOIL Synthetic
Polymeric Off-Road Grease resists water washout
to maintain the external seal on greased
components and help prevent water and other
contaminants from entering wear-prone areas.
Calcium-Sulfonate Complex Thickener
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease
features a calcium-sulfonate complex thickener
for enhanced extreme-pressure performance.
Calcium-sulfonate complex is the ideal thickener
for off-road grease. Its inherent
extreme-pressure benefits deliver excellent
impact resistance.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is
ideal for heavy-duty, heavy-load-bearing
applications operating in the adverse conditions
found in agricultural, construction,
landscaping, logging and mining environments.
Applications include power shovels, drag lines,
wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers,
skid steers, dump trucks and other heavy-duty
equipment with heavily-loaded pivot pins, king
pins, bucket pins and bushings. AMSOIL Synthetic
Polymeric Off-Road Grease is a perfect choice
for Caterpillar equipment requiring 5 percent
moly for pin and bushing applications. AMSOIL
Off-Road Grease provides superior performance,
protection and longevity in heavy-duty, off-road
applications.
