GEAR SHIELD® SYNTHETIC

CHLORINE-FREE, SOLVENT-CUTBACK SYNTHETIC OPEN GEAR LUBRICANT

Phillips 66® Gear Shield Synthetic is a high-performance, adhesive, synthetic-based gear lubricant designed with a low-viscosity sacrificial diluent for easy application. Its transparent formulation makes it ideal for open and semi-enclosed gears on stationary equipment such as ball mills, rod mills, kilns, and paper mills.

Engineered for demanding applications, Gear Shield Synthetic delivers exceptional load-carrying capacity to protect heavily loaded gears from scoring and galling. It forms a durable, tenacious film that adheres firmly to metal surfaces without hardening or flaking at low temperatures. This protective layer resists water washout and shields gears from rust and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.

GEAR SHIELD® SYNTHETIC

Features & Benefits

  • Excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
  • Forms a heavy, tenacious film to lubricate and cushion gear teeth
  • Good extreme-pressure properties for protection under heavy or shock loads
  • Good resistance to water washout
  • Protects against rust and corrosion
  • Will not flake off at low temperatures
  • Drains freely from gear guards
  • Does not contain any chlorine, lead or carcinogens
  • Easy application, by spraying, brushing or dripping
  • Suitable for use with automatic lubrication equipment

Applications

  • Open and semi-enclosed gears, such as those found on mining ball and rod mills, cement mills, drying kilns, and papermaking machinery and presses
  • Mills used to process minerals such as gold, copper, iron, taconite and phosphate
  • Guides and sliding surfaces with large clearances, where asphaltic-type lubricants are specifi ed
  • Cables on draglines, clamshells, shovels, hoists and other cable-operated equipment where cable clamp safety devices are not used
