Takilube II
Adhesive and Cohesive
As a specialist in heavy-duty lubrication, Texas Refinery Corp. continually searches for new answers to old problems. Takilube II, a result of such research, is the answer to problems presented by lubrication of outside gears. Two characteristics of our exposed gear lubricant cause it to have the “stickability” necessary for successful lubrication. One characteristic is adhesion — the ability of Takilube II to adhere tightly to the metal surfaces. The other characteristic is cohesion — the ability of our lubricant to stay on outside gears, providing continuous lubrication.
Dust Resistant Protection
Another requirement for thorough protection of outside gears is for the lubricant to be resistant to dust contamination. Takilube II forms a heavy cushion on the gear face leaving a film of lubricant to shield the gear surfaces. Unconventional thick- ening agents, different types of cushioning agents, and tackiness agents are combined to keep Takilube II on the job — instead of squeezing out. Because of this elastic recoverability, Takilube II resists accumulating as a mess on the edge of the outside gears. Pressure, created by meshing of gears, tends to force gear lubricant to the edges; but the cohesive ability of this outstanding mate- rial helps to pull it back into the center of the gear face, assuring a constant film of lubricant protection against dust.
Economical
Frequent relubrication with Takilube II is not necessary because it sticks to the face of the gears and sticks to itself. It doesn’t “pressure out” at that point of the gear face where pressure is the greatest. Use Takilube II to protect your equipment against dust, moisture, and the ravages of wear.
Protects Against Moisture
Heavy-duty equipment is exposed to the weather, year in and year out. Rain, dew, sleet, snow, even the hosing down of equipment with Takilube II provides superior protection to open gears, cables, chains, and other areas. water, means excessive moisture is present. Materials used in Takilube II are highly resistant to moisture. Takilube II’s superior bonding quality protects metal against damage from moisture. It forms a shield of water-resistant protection.
Available In Two Weights
Takilube II is available in two weights to handle a wide variety of applications. The summer weight is approximately the consistency of an NLGI #0 weight grease. It provides an immediate heavy gear tooth lubricant film at the instant application is made. Our winter weight is the same product with some solvent added which gives it the consistency of approximately NLGI #00 weight grease. Within a short period of time after application of winter weight, the solvent evaporates leaving behind a pliable and “tacky” gear tooth lubricating film.
Versatile
Takilube II, in its two weights, is an excellent lubricant for outside gears but it also has several other applications. For instance, both weights are used to lubricate dipper sticks, racks, slides, and fifth wheels.
