Synlube® WS

Ultra high performance synthetic industrial

gear lubricant Product Data Sheet

Product description Product highlights:

Synlube WS in an ultra high performance synthetic industrial gear lubricant specially • Designed for very
designed for very severe applications where exceptional extreme pressure severe applications
performance is required. Synlube WS is extremely resistant to wear and micro-pitting
• Extremely resistant to
and provides very high-level protection over a long service life. It has a particularly
wear and micro-pitting
high tolerance to water.
• Highly tolerant to water
Synlube WS is designed with a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) synthetic base fluid and
advanced technology additives, formulated to provide outstanding EP anti-wear, • Long lubricant service life
corrosion and oxidation protection under severe, high-load conditions.
• Selected specification
Customer benefits standards include:

- German Standard
• Advanced technology EP anti-wear additives provide an extremely tough oil film
DIN 51517 Part 3 CLP
for high load wear protection
- David Brown
• Excellent thermal stability and inherent polyalkylene glycol solvency performance
keeps bearings and gears clean - SKF
• Natural high lubricity of ultra high performance synthetic base fluid lowers
- FAG
friction and resists wear
- Flender
• Very high viscosity index maximises in-grade performance and protection across
a wide temperature range

• Outstanding oxidation resistance prevents corrosion, harmful oil thickening,

varnish, gum and sludge deposits

• Very long lubricant service life

Applications

• All types of gears and bearings where use of conventional mineral oil based
product is restricted by the severity of operating conditions

• Enclosed industrial gearboxes containing spur, bevel and especially worm gears,
including filled-for-life units

 • Typical gear applications include rolling and grinding mills, papermaking and
mining machines, calenders, stirrer units, rubber kneaders, furnace doors,
conveyors, chains, winches, dredges and cranes

• Ball, roller and plain bearings exposed to very heavy-duty conditions

Approvals and performance specifications

Performance specifications
• German Standard DIN 51517 Part 3 CLP
• David Brown (Textron) performance requirements
• SKF and FAG bearing performance requirements

Approvals
• Flender-approved for use in helical, bevel-helical, planetary and worm gear units

Service considerations

Synlube WS is generally compatible with other PAG-type lubricants, however

mixing by top-up should be avoided since the premium properties of Synlube WS
can be compromised by another lubricants.

Mixing Synlube WS and Synlube CLP could result in a change in appearance. Please
note that possible haziness has no influence on the performance of Synlube WS.
Gear systems should be drained warm and filters replaced before filling with
Synlube WS.
