LE'S R & D GROUP
THE LE R&D GROUP CONTINUALLY INVESTIGATES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO DEVELOP TOMORROW'S LUBRICANTS.
LE's OWN ADDITIVE COMPANY, THE ALMASOL CORPORATION PERFECTED WEAR REDUCING ADDITIVES THAT HAVE BEEN USED ON EVERY MANNED SPACE MISSION.
YOU BENEFIT FROM LE's EXCLUSIVE AND PROPRIETARY ADDITIVES AND THE USE OF SUPERIOR BASE OILS AND TECHNOLOGY.
SUPERIOR PARAFFINIC BASE OILS
LE's PETROLEUM LUBRICANTS CONTAIN 100% MID-CONTINENT, PARAFFINIC BASE OILS.
USING SPECIAL REFINING TECHNIQUES, THESE BASE OILS HAVE A SATURATED MOLECULAR STRUCTURE SIMILAR TO SYNTHETIC PAO's. THUS, THEY OFFER EXCELLENT OXIDATION RESISTANCE, SUPERIOR LUBRICITY, LONG LIFE AND FEWER DEPOSITS / SLUDGE.
WHILE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CRUDE OIL SOURCES AROUND THE WORLD, THE BEST CHOICE FOR LE's LUBRICATING OILS IS U.S. MID-CONTINENT PARAFFIN.
MID-CONTINENT SOURCES INCLUDE:
TEXAS, ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA AND OKLOHOMA.
ALMASOL® IS A PROVEN ADVANCEMENT
IN THE SCIENCE OF LUBRICATION
ALMASOL® IS A SOLID FILM LUBRICANT ADDITIVE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM LE®. THIS SOFT, TAN POWDER IS PROCESSED UNDER EXACT CONDITIONS BY LE's WHOOLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, THE ALMASOL® CORPORATION.
* ALMASOL® PARTICLES ARE SO SMALL THAT IT WOULD TAKE 8,000 OF THEM TO COVER THE PERIOD AT THE END OF THIS SENTENCE.
* ALMASOL® IS ADDED TO LE PRODUCTS TO AMPLIFY THE PROTECTION EVERY USER NEEDS TO RECEIVE FROM A QUALITY HIGH PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT.
INCORPORATED INTO OILS AND GREASES, THESE MICROSCOPIC PARTICLES ARE EVENLY AND PERMANENTLY DISBURSED.
* ALMASOL® IS ALSO PROCESSED INTO DRY AND SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS.
* ALMASOL® HAS BEEN USED ON EVERY MANNED US SPACE FLIGHT, INCLUDING EVERY SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION AND ALL MOON AND MARS ROVERS
* ALMASOL® GREATLY REDUCES FRICTION AND WEAR WHILE WITHSTANDING VERY HIGH LOADS AND TEMPERATURES UP TO 1900°F (1038°C)
MONOLEC® IS A WEAR-REDUCING ADDITIVE
THAT CREATES A MONO-MOLECULAR LUBRICATING FILM ON METAL SURFACES.
EVEN HIGHLY POLISHED METAL SURFACES ARE FAR FROM SMOOTH. VIEWED MICROSCOPICALLY, THEY RESEMBLE A MOUNTAIN RANGE WITH JAGGED PEAKS KNOWN AS ASPERITIES. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PEAKS AND VALLEYS MAY BE AS MUCH AS 15 MICRONS. MONOLEC® WORKS BY FILLING THESE MICROSCOPIC HOLES ON A METAL SURFACE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING FRICTION BETWEEN TWO SLIDING SURFACES.
THE BENEFITS OF MONOLEC® INCLUDE:
* REDUCES WEAR BY REDUCING FRICTION
* REDUCES POWER REQUIREMENTS
* DISPERSES QUICKLY AND UNIFORMLY
* WILL NOT COMPROMISE TOLERANCES BY BUILDING ON ITSELF AND WILL NOT FALL OUT OF SUSPENSION
* ACTS SYNERGISTICALLY TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE QUALITIES OF OTHER COMPONENTS IN OILS AND GREASES
* LOWERS OPERATING TEMPERATURES
* PERFORMS IN BOTH OILS AND GREASES
* HAS NO SIDE-EFFECTS
DUOLEC® IS A UNIQUE AND PROPRIETARY ADDITIVE
IT WAS SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR USE IN GEAR OIL APPLICATIONS.
DUOLEC® IS A DUAL-ACTING LIQUID ADDITIVE THAT SHARES ATTRIBUTES OF BOTH ALMASOL® AND MONOLEC®, OFFERING UNIQUE AND UNBEATABLE WEAR PROTECTION.
THE PRODUCT INCORPORATES A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS THERMALLY ACTIVATED TO PROVIDE DUAL LEVELS OF ANTI-WEAR AND EXTREME PRESSURE (EP) PROTECTION.
DUOLEC® FORMS A SOLID LIKE LAYER ON THE METAL SURFACE. THIS LAYER THEN FILLS SURFACE ASPERITIES, EFFECTIVELY CREATING A SMOOTH SURFACE, MINIMIZING THE EFFECT OF METAL TO METAL CONTACT, THEREBY REDUCING FRICTION AND PREVENTING WELDING AND SURFACE WEAR.
QUINPLEX®
A PROPRIETARY LE ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT PROVIDES WATER AND MOISTURE RESISTANCE
QUINPLEX® GETS ITS NAME FROM FIVE PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS IT IMPARTS TO LUBRICANTS:
* WATER RESISTANCE — WHEN DISPERSED IN GREASES AND OILS, AIDS IN FORMING A BARRIEER THAT RESISTS WATER SPRAY-OFF.
* TACKINESS — PROVIDES LE PRODUCTS WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO ADHERE TO THE APPLIED SURFACES.
* LUBRICANTS WITH QUINPLEX® STAY AT THE POINT OF LUBRICATION LONGER AND RESIST “POUND-OUT".
* COHESION — WHEN USED IN GREASES, ENHANCES THE COUPLING OF THE OIL WITH THE THICKENER.
* MECHANICAL STABILITY — IN ITS PURE FORM, QUINPLEX® IS VERY THICK, ALMOST HAVING A SOLID APPEARANCE. THIS CHARACTERISTIC IMPROVES THE OVERALL MECHANICAL STABILITY OF THE GREASE.
* CORROSION — QUINPLEX® FORMS A BARRIER AGAINST CORROSION. LAB TESTS ON PURE QUINPLEX® DEMONSTRATE THAT IT’S RESISTANT TO CONCENTRATIONS OF STRONG ACIDS. IT ALSO SHOWS RESISTANCE TO STRONG BASES AND OXIDIZING AGENTS.
* QUINPLEX® PROVIDES LONGER EQUIPMENT LIFE, LONGER LUBRICANT LIFE, INCREASED LOAD CARRYING CAPABILITIES, LESS EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, UNPRECEDENTED WATER RESISTANCE AND EXTRAORDINARY ADHESIVE PROPERTIES.
PYROSHIELD®
PYROSHIELD® PRODUCTS HAVE SUPERB LOAD CARRYING CAPACITIES AND PROVIDE EXTREME PRESSURE PROTECTION AND HIGH LOAD CARRYING ABILITY.
THESE PRODUCTS ARE VERY VERSATILE AND ARE AVAILABLE IN THREE NLGI GRADES WHILE MEETING THE NEEDS OF MANUAL AND HEAVY-DUTY AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEMS.
HAVING EXCELLENT ADHESIVENESS AND WATER RESISTANCE ALLOWS THE LUBRICANT TO STAY IN PLACE, RESIST SHOCK LOADING AND REDUCES NOISE FACTOR IN LARGE GEARS.
PYROSHIELD® OPERATES OVER A WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE AND WILL NOT DILUTE OR RUN OUT.
THE LUBRICANT REMAINS PUMPABLE AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND WILL NOT HARDEN, FLAKE OFF OR BECOME BRITTLE IN COLD TEMPERATURES.
PYROSHIELD® WILL BENEFIT USERS BY EXTENDING UPTIME AND INCREASE EQUIPMENT LIFE WITH LESS LUBRICANT REQUIRED.
COMBINED WITH ALMASOL®, MONOLEC®, QUINPLEX®, DUOLEC™ AND PYROSHIELD®
ARE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADDITIVES WHICH IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LE LUBRICANTS:
* ANTI-OXIDANTS: RESIST THE FORMATION OF ACIDS, SLUDGE AND VARNISH WHICH CAN INCREASE OIL VISCOSITHY
* EXTREME PRESSURE (EP) AND ANTI-WEAR AGENTS: PROTECT AGAINST SHOCK LOADING, SCUFFING, GALLING, ADHESIVE WEAR AND ABRASIVE WEAR
* CORROSION INHIBITORS: PROTECT AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION
* FOAM INHIBITORS AND AIR RELLEASE AGENTS: REDUCE FOAMING AND AIR ENTRAINMENT
* DEMULSIFYING AGENTS: ENABLE THE LUBRICANT TO SEPARATE FROM WATER FASTER
* VISCOSITY INDEX IMPROVERS: INCREASE THE OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE RANGE OF THE LUBRICANT
* DETERGENTS: KEEP EQUIPMENT PARTS “CLEAN” IN HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATIONS AND PROTECT PARTS FROM RUST FORMATION
* DISPERSNATS: SUSPEND FOREIGN BODIES WITHIN THE LUBRICANT BY PREVENTING THEM FROM COLLECTING ON ENGINE PARTS TO FORM SLUDGE AND VARNISH
* POUR POINT DEPRESSANTS: LOWERS THE SOLIDIFICATION TYEMPERATURE OF THE LUBRICANT.
