Chevron Marine Lubricants introduced a new range of gear oils designed for use in industrial and marine clutched gear systems[ds_preview], where extreme load and shock load protection is required. The company declared, developing them was a response to customer and OEM demand for gear box oils designed to ensure optimal performance in Renk and Flender/Siemens, Reintjes and Brunvoll clutched gear boxes. As such, the gear oils carry approvals from those gearbox manufacturers. The formulation is described to be balanced to help provide both extreme pressure protection, while providing defence against yellow metal corrosion. Oils in the range are designed to offer long lubricant life, corrosion protection, good wear protection with high load carrying capacity and robust micro-pitting wear protection. Additionally, the thermal and oxidative stability is supposed to help to minimise deposit formation, prevent varnish and sludge and keep the components clean. They are available in the ISO VG 100/150/220 viscosity range and will be supplied in all Scandinavian ports. Depending on demand, supply areas could be expanded in the near future.
