UltraLube – Specialized Lubricant

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is UltraLube?
   UltraLube is a special lubricant, it is a liquid formulation that can be readily brushed, sprayed, rolled, flowed or dipped, it is a two pack formulation, the base and the solvent. It quickly forms a layer of dry solid lubricant, which also protects the bearing surfaces in cases of normal lubrication failures against dust, grit, and corrosive chemicals.
2. How to apply UltraLube film?
   Clean the Bearing surface by a solvent or any other method to remove all grease and oil. Sand blasting of the surface is the most recommended method for the surface preparation. Spray one coat of UltraLube diluted with the solvent, in the ration 1:1 and allow to dry for thirty minutes before applying a second coat. Polish the coated surface with a cloth before fitment.
3. Is conventional lubrication required with UltraLube?
   UltraLube is a complete lubrication system, but conventional lubrication should be continued. The solid film of lubrication plays a vital role when conventional lubrication system fails.
4. What is working temperature range of UltraLube?
   UltraLube can resist high and low temperatures and does not drip off at high temperatures. It lubricates effectively in a wide temperature range of –50 °C to 200 °C.
5. Does the UltraLube film attract dust etc. like conventional lubrications?
   UltraLube resist conditions that cause failure of most lubricants namely dust, grit, high and low temperatures. In short, its solid state does not attract dust, grit, etc.
6. Does UltraLube protect?
   UltraLube not only fights frictions but also protects the surface from corrosion and that too so well that it is used in many applications for that purpose alone. It resists moisture and can withstand weathering, water, rain, acid, alkalies and fumes.
7. Does UltraLube squeeze out like conventional lubricants?
   UltraLube film does not squeeze out as their bonding is perfect and the film is in a solid state, so the bearing surface always stays lubricated even under very heavy pressure.
8. Does UltraLube conduct heat and electricity?
   The UltraLube conducts both heat and electricity effectively.
9. What is the coverage of UltraLube?
   UltraLube, when sprayed to a thickness of 5 mils covers @ 75 Sq. Ft. per litre and dries in @30 minutes.
10. What is the availability of UltraLube?
    UltraLube is available in 20 litres and 50 litres packing.

UltraLube

UltraLube is prepared in liquid formulation that can be readily brushed, sprayed, rolled, flowed or dipped. It bonds quickly on the surface. Proper surface preparation is basic to any coating application, so remove oil, grease, before using UltraLube. The user should be guided by the type of surface to be lubricated, the time and effort required to clean that surface and the ready availability of equipment or products needed to do so. Surface preparation suggestions are provided below.

Sand Blasting

This produces a very fine finish and should be considered if the surface is in very poor condition. It is suggested a coat of UltraLube be applied as soon as possible to prevent new rust formation.

Scraping

A variety of tools can be used to perform this function. In many instances a scarper knife will produce the desired results. All loose scale, rust and dirt should be removed and the surface wiped with a cloth or waste. This cloth could be saturated with a fast-drying non –residual type solvent.

However, where it is not possible or practical to produce an ideally clean surface, a reasonably clean surface will be suitable. In time, oily and greasy surfaces will dry out and the full benefit of UltraLube will be realised.

UltraLube resists conditions that cause failure of most lubricants namely dust, grit, high and low temperatures, pressure and chemical conditions and is formulated to provide efficient and effective lubrication in the most difficult environments.

UltraLube resists high and low temperatures and will not drip off or melt off at high temperature or freeze in sub-zero climates. It lubricates effectively and efficiently in a wide temperature range of –50 °C to 200 °C.

UltraLube not only fights friction but also protects the surface from corrosion and rust and that too 
so well that, it is used as a protective coating in many applications.

UltraLube dries in minutes forming a tough, slippery, durable and flexible coating that will not pick up abrasive dust or grit, and will not squeeze out under heavy load or pressure.

UltraLube resists moisture and can withstand weathering, water, rain, alkalies, and fumes.
