Subcategory: Fluid; Lubricant

Key Words: CPS Number: 255779; MSDS Number: 6704

Material Notes:
Features

Chevron Sil-X Grease is a silica thickened grease. It is manufactured using high viscosity, high viscosity index base oils and contain effective rust and oxidation inhibitors.

It is transparent red in color, and has a smooth consistency with distinct stringiness.

Chevron Sil-X Grease provides outstanding lubrication in industrial applications where extremely high temperatures are encountered. The dropping points of Chevron Sil-X Grease exceeds 260°C (500°F). Chevron Sil-X Grease has a very high film strength and performs well under shock load conditions. It minimizes wear and prevents scuffing.

Its high viscosity oil and high viscosity additive characteristics enable this lubricant to seal bearings and resist leakage and washout.

Under high temperature operating conditions, the "no melt" silica keeps the lubricant in place long after conventional multipurpose greases would have melted and run out of bearings.

Chevron Sil-X Grease has an excellent pumpability characteristic.

Applications

Chevron Sil-X Grease is recommended for industrial applications subjected to very high temperatures requiring a lubricant which will not melt.

Typical applications are plain or journal bearings, antifriction bearings, gear cases in kiln cars, conveyors in ceramic and paint baking ovens furnace doors, shafts extending through furnaces, etc.
