  AMSOIL has developed a new line of heavy duty greases designed to excel in the extreme environments seen in heavy duty off road equipment.  New AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease combines an over based calcium sulfonate complex thickener and a proprietary synthetic polymeric system to provide outstanding performance in heavy duty off road applications.

  AMSOIL developed an exclusive synthetic polymeric system custom-built to provide performance benefits specific to off road equipment.  This synthetic technology helps give AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease tenacious cling ability and maximum pound out resistance over extended service intervals, even in wet conditions.

  Greased components in heavy equipment are subjected to serious abuse.  For example, when the operator of a front-end loader slams the machine’s bucket up and down to shake out debris and dirt, all the strain of that action is placed on the grease.  Virtually all heavy-duty off-road equipment operates under similar heavy load conditions.  The extreme impact created in this environment forces all of that heavy strain onto places where the equipment pivots, relying on the grease to prevent metal to metal contact.  Lesser quality greases cannot stand the load and are pounded out of the impact area.  When pound out happens, heavily loaded components are left non-lubricated, which can result in metal to metal contact and serious wear.  Also, one of a grease’s main function is to seal around the perimeter of the greased component, preventing contaminants such as dirt and water from entering the component causing more wear.  Pound out leaves equipment exposed to potentially heavy damaging amounts of contaminants.

  AMSOIL Off-Road Grease’s exclusive synthetic polymeric technology provides exceptional adhesion and cohesion properties.  It has been engineered to resist pound out better than other greases in heavy-load bearing, extreme pressure applications and stay in place longer, providing exceptional lubrication over extended service intervals and reducing the damaging effects of missed grease points.

  AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease features a calcium-sulfonate complex thickener for enchanced extreme pressure performance.  Calcium-sulfonate complex is the ideal thickener for off-road grease.  Its inherent extreme pressure benefits deliver excellent impact resistance.

  AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is 5% moly-fortified and meets Caterpillar’s requirement for pin and bushing applications.  Its high Timken OK load and excellent four-ball weld test results are proof of its exceptional load bearing abilities.

  Greased components on heavy equipment are frequently exposed to wet conditions.  AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease resists water washout to maintain the external seal on greased components and help prevent water and other contaminants from entering the component’s wear prone areas.

  AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease provides serious severe duty performance over extended service intervals.  Field testing has proven that Off-Road Grease can lengthen lubrication intervals by 50% over competitive products, reducing servicing frequency and associated labor costs.  AMSOIL Off-Road Grease maximizes equipment uptime and reduces grease usage while providing exceptional protection.

  AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is ideal for heavy-duty bearing applications operating in tough conditions, including power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers and other heavy-duty equipment.  It excels at protecting heavily loaded points such as pivot pins, king pins and bushings.

  AMSOIL Off-Road Grease is compatible with most other greases on the market.  It is not compatible with greases formulated with calcium complex, conventional polyurea and clay thickeners.

  There is no ASTM-certified test that measures pound-out resistance.  AMSOIL identified pound-out resistance as a critical requirement for grease used in off-road equipment and defined a new performance parameter and test to define the grease’s pound-out resistance capabilities.

  The device uses compressed air to generate a controlled amount of force delivered from a metal rod.  The sample grease is placed on a metal stand, enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve and placed in the impact zone.  The operator simply pushes a button and the metal rod slams down into the grease.  The Impact Simulator can be calibrated to deliver a specified amount of force, making it a safe, accurate demonstration of pound-out resistance properties.

  This impressive demonstration dramatically proves that, under heavy loads, AMSOIL Off-Road Grease stays in place to provide excellent protection and maintains its seal to prevent contaminants from penetrating wear prone areas.  Similar to the regular extreme impact faced by greased components of heavy-duty equipment, the Impact Demonstrator puts AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease’s superior adhesion and cohesion properties clearly on display.  While competitive greases explode from the impact zone after one shot, AMSOIL Off-Road Grease remains intact after several shots.
