These greases thickened with a barium complex soap are characterized by their long-fibred and highly tenacious nature. Formulated using the HT Purity process Petro-Canada uses to produce 99.9% pure base oils and special oxidation inhibitors. Depending on the product selected, they have operating temperature ranges between -20°C/-4°F and +150°C/302°F.
Features and Benefits: Superior high temperature stability
Permits operation at elevated temperatures without lubricant loss or excessive hardening
Good low temperature properties
Easily dispensed at low temperatures
Allow start-up with minimum frictional resistance
Outstanding adhesive and cohesive properties
Withstands being squeezed out from between metal surfaces
Resists being thrown off rotating equipment
Effectively seals out dirt from bearing surfaces
Extremely water repellant
Protects metal surfaces against rust and corrosion
Prolongs equipment life
Applications: This grease is recommended for use on the diamond drill rods used in rock drilling. Here, the grease reduces the friction between the rod and the rock strata where the drill has penetrated.
Drill Rod Heavy Grease has lubricated successfully to more than 2000 foot drill depths without wash off or wipe off.
