While the initial cost per liter may exceed standard oils, the total cost of ownership (TCO) typically decreases due to:
The primary job of Flexislip 68 is to create a durable microfilm between moving metal parts. Its advanced anti-wear additives react under pressure to form a protective layer, significantly reducing friction. This leads to a longer lifespan for pumps, valves, and cylinders. 2. High Thermal and Oxidation Stability flexislip 68 extra quality
: Includes active agents to prevent air entrainment and foaming, which ensures smooth power transfer and precise control. Common Applications This oil is highly versatile and is a go-to choice for: While the initial cost per liter may exceed
| Property | Standard ISO VG 68 | Flexislip 68 Extra Quality | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Viscosity Index (VI) | ~95 | ~105+ | | Oxidation Life (RBOT, min) | 150 | 250+ | | Four-Ball Wear Scar (mm) | 0.60 | <0.40 | | Demulsibility (min) | 30+ | <15 | | FZG Load Stage (fail) | 10 | 12+ | This thickness allows it to support high loads
. This thickness allows it to support high loads and operate effectively under high temperatures.
| System Type | Why It Fits | |---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | | Good viscosity for moderate temperature ranges, protects pumps (vane, piston, gear). | | Bearings (circulating) | Oxidation stability prevents deposits on rolling elements. | | Light gearboxes | EP/anti-wear properties handle moderate loads. | | Machine tool lubrication | Low foaming, good air release for precision. | | Paper mill & press lubrication | Water separation critical in wet environments. |
