New blend of gear oil lasts four times longer

NCH Europe has launched Top Blend, multi-viscosity and multi-purpose gear oil for use in the industrial, food and beverage, packaging, processing and automotive industries. Designed for virtually all types of enclosed gear systems, Top Blend is available in several grades including types 80W-90 and 85W-140, meeting the requirements for grades ranging from 80 to 140W.

With proper maintenance, and when used in combination with NCH's Flush and Clean product to perform a flushing procedure before changing, it is claimed that Top Blend can last up to four times longer than ordinary gear oils. This means it can work for up to 320,000km in automotive gear boxes or around 8,000 hours in stationary equipment.

Top Blend's formula incorporates adhesive polymers, tackifiers, anti-foam, anti-corrosive and anti-friction agents, emulsifiers, detergents, pour depressants, shock-load reducers and leak inhibitors.

This combination is said to significantly improve component life, reducing downtime, labour costs and the frequency of parts replacement. Providing a high thermal stability, Top Blend is also claimed to ensure fewer oil changes and improves seal quality, which results in less oil needing to be replaced due to leaks.

Top Blend meets or exceeds industry standards including API, AGMA, SAE, US Milspec, and numerous automobile, truck and OEM standards.
