1 Technical Data TUFGEAR Universal Heavy-duty open gear lubricant for demanding applications Product Overview Directions for Storage and Use ROCOL TUFGEAR Universal is a heavy duty open gear grease containing a blend of high load carrying solids designed for the effective lubrication and protection of gears used in extreme environments. TUFGEAR Universal is a highly water resistant, long life grease for the lubrication of all types and sizes of open gears. Also available in aerosol form see ROCOL TUFGEAR Spray. Features and Benefits Apply manually directly to clean and dry gear teeth. Use a stiff brush or the 400 g cartridge in a suitable applicator. Also available as TUFGEAR Spray for application by aerosol. The storage temperature should be controlled between +1 C and +40 C Shelf life is 4 years from date of manufacture. ROCOL TUFGEAR Universal has a wide temperature range -40 C to +120 C. TUFGEAR Universal is a non-melting grease containing a blend of high load carrying solids. Combination of high load carrying solids boosts the heavy duty performance particularly in highly loaded applications. TUFGEAR Universal demonstrates outstanding EP performance with a weld load of 800 kg. TUFGEAR Universal has excellent corrosion resistance to protect in humid, damp and even wet conditions. It is highly tenacious ensuring that the lubricant adheres to the gear teeth and does not fling off. TUFGEAR Universal maintains integrity in extreme conditions and continues to protect over extended lubrication intervals, reducing equipment failure, downtime and lubricant usage. Typical Applications TUFGEAR Universal is designed for open gears, girth gears, rack and pinions etc. which are found in all types of industrial applications. TUFGEAR Universal has been developed to use on all types and sizes of open gears in aggressive environments, including strong underwater currents. TUFGEAR Universal is used for large gears operating under high loads in extreme conditions. Pack Sizes Pack Size Part Code 400g cartridge kg kg 18304
