Product Description
Mobil Mist Lube Series are extra high performance oils designed for the oil-fog or mist-lubrication of machine components such as slideways, bearings, gears, chains etc. They are formulated from high quality, solvent refined base stocks and a unique additive system designed for optimum reclassifying properties. They have a high resistance to oxidation and good extreme pressure and anti-wear properties. The products have enhanced surface wetting capabilities and they reclassify (or agglomerate) readily from a mist to a liquid when the mist is subjected to extreme turbulence or is impinged onto a surface at high velocity. This allows a lubricating film to form on bearings and gears and prevents stray mist from escaping through narrow apertures into the atmosphere.
The available viscosity grades in the Mobil Mist Lube Series are ISO VG 32 and 100.
Features and Benefits
The Mobil Mist Lube Series of products is an important member of the Mobil brand of lubricants and enjoy recognition among equipment operators for their superb performance capabilities in misting applications. Mobil Mist Series oils were developed specifically for mist applications and have undergone an arduous protocol of testing, including misting performance, in their development.
Mobil Mist Lube Series offer the following features and potential benefits:
Features |
Advantages and Potential Benefits |
| Superior mist forming and reclassifying properties | Ensures even distribution of lubricant on machine parts with control of stray mist for reliable lubrication and problem-free operation, reduced leakage and lower oil consumption |
| Excellent EP and anti-wear performance | Prevents machine element wear with resulting savings in maintenance and parts replacement |
| High quality base oil and additive components | Avoids reclassifier plugging problems which can result in catastrophic bearing and gear failure, with accompanying downtime and replacement costs |
| Excellent resistance to oxidation | Long product life, reduced product and maintenance costs |
| Very good rust protection including sea water | Excellent equipment protection |
Applications
Mobil Mist Lube Series oils are designed for use in all oil mist lubrication systems. Such systems work by dispersing very small droplets of oil in smoothly flowing air, distributing the oil mist to the points of application and mechanically condensing the mist, causing the oil to impinge on and wet the surfaces to be lubricated. The higher viscosity Mobil Mist Lube grades may require thermal misting devices to form proper dispersions when ambient temperatures are moderate or low. Mobil Mist Lube 24 is suitable for oil / air delivery systems such as airline oilers. Specific applications include:
- Industrial gearing such as cooling tower gearboxes
- Slow-speed, heavily-loaded bearings (higher viscosity grades)
- High-speed bearings (lower viscosity grades)
- Machine tools, ways and screws
- Process pumps, electric motors and blowers
- Steam turbines and electric motors
