MOLYKOTE L-2115
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Extreme-Pressure Enclosed-Gear Lubrication
- Micropitting-Focused PAO Protection
- Rapid 10-Minute Water Separation
Product Description
MOLYKOTE L-2115 Synthetic Gear Oil is a fully synthetic ISO VG 150 PAO gear oil for industrial gear units requiring an extreme-pressure lubricant. Typical kinematic viscosity is 162 cSt at 40 deg C and 18.2 cSt at 100 deg C, with a viscosity index of 128. The formulation combines a sulfur-phosphorous EP additive with corrosion inhibition and is designed for spur, helical, bevel, and planetary gears, including severe conditions where micropitting is a concern. Water separation is assessed by ASTM D1401 demulsibility testing, and load performance by FZG load-stage testing, for demanding enclosed-gear service.
Key features
- ISO VG 150 Gear Protection: The PAO grade combines sulfur-phosphorous EP additives with corrosion inhibition.
- Micropitting-Focused Formulation: The synthetic gear oil is designed for severe conditions where micropitting is a concern.
- Load and Water Separation: Typical results include greater than 12 FZG load stage and 40/40/0 demulsibility at 10 minutes.
Applications
Enclosed industrial spur, helical, bevel and planetary gear drives where the specified viscosity grade is required.
