Introduction:
he LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL grades consist of a range of ISO VG lubricants formulated to provide the user
ith superior performance under demanding operating conditions. Water soluble polyalkylene glycol base
tocks, known to provide outstanding micropitting and EP characteristics are used to manufacture these
ubricants. With the addition of a high performance, food approved additive package, these products are able to offer excellent thermal stability, high wear reduction rates, high micropitting resistance and load carrying ability as well as good corrosion protection.

Suitable Application Areas:
The LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL ranges have been specially formulated for use as industrial gearbox lubricants
ithin the food manufacturing environment. As such, they have achieved approval within a number of different
ear designs, these include:
Helical
Bevel Helical
Planetary
Worm Gears
Flush Procedure:
When changing from a mineral oil or PAO based product to one of the LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL grades, the
ollowing procedure should be followed:
The system should be run until the old oil is warm, then drain as fully as possible, particular attention being paid
o reservoirs, lines etc., where oil may be trapped. The system should be cleaned of residual sludge.
lush the system with the minimum quantity of LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL by operating under no load and then
rain the system while the fluid is warm. Repeat if necessary.
Seals, etc., should be inspected and if deteriorated, then replaced. Seals previously exposed to other oils may
hrink when exposed to LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL fluids, therefore, it may be advantageous to replace them,
owever, this is not mandatory. Careful inspection of the system for leaks will often suffice.
t is useful to inspect the lubricant after one or two days in use to make sure that it is free of extraneous
aterials. Contamination with significant quantities of other lubricants can, in some cases, lead to sludging,
oaming and other problems.
Materials Compatibility:
olyurethane based elastomers, leather, cork, asbestos, paper and board should be avoided. Common seal and gasket materials are unaffected by LUBRIPLATE PGO-FGL Synthetic Gear Oils. Nitrile Rubber (NBR), Fluoro-
ilicone or Vinyl-Methyl Polysiloxane (Q) are recommended especially where high temperatures are involved.
rdinary industrial paints soften in the presence of these products. Internal gearbox surfaces should ideally be
npainted, or coated with resistant materials, for example a resistant two-pack epoxy formulation.
hese products must never be mixed with mineral or PAO based products.
