Product Description
Mobil Glygoyle Series lubricants are supreme performance gear, bearing and
compressor oils designed to provide outstanding benefits in terms of
efficiency, long oil life, and equipment protection. These fully synthetic,
polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricants were developed for use under operating
conditions beyond the capabilities of other synthetic lubricants and mineral
oils. Their low pour points ensure excellent low-temperature fluidity. The ISO
150 to 1000 grades are approved for USDA/NSF H-1 food-grade use. The unique
formulation is designed to provide:
- Exceptional EP/antiwear protection for critical equipment components
- A high level of micropitting protection for sensitive gear systems
- Protection against rust and corrosion in-service
- Resistance against foam buildup
- Excellent lubricity inherent to this fully synthetic lubricant
- Low traction coefficient resulting in increased energy efficiency and
reduced bulk oil/system temperatures
- Outstanding thermal and oxidative stability to reduce sludge formation and
deposits
Features and Benefits
The Mobil Glygoyle Series of fully synthetic oils are specifically designed to
outperform mineral and PAO synthetic lubricants in gear and hydrocarbon gas
compression applications. In worm gears, the unique properties of these oils
allows for more torque to be put through the reducer while in many cases
lowering the operating oil sump temperature correlating to longer seal, oil,
and gearbox life. Features compared to other mineral, synthetic, and PAG
lubricants:
General: There are various types of PAG base oils. The inherent properties of
these oils can differ depending on the raw materials and processes used in
their manufacture. Features that can differ among various PAG oils include
their traction coefficient (energy efficiency), thermal conductivity, and
solubility with hydrocarbon oils, tendency to attract water, and low
temperature properties.
High Efficiency: ExxonMobil researchers have selected PAG base oils which
provide high levels of energy efficiency relative to mineral, PAOs, and other
PAG oils. This, coupled with an increased thermal conductivity of about 10%
over mineral and PAO oils, leads to lower operating temperatures and longer
component life.
Wide Temperatures: The Mobil Glygoyle Series has very high VIs ranging from
170 for the ISO 68 to 285 for the ISO 1000. This leads to a wide operating
temperature range, beyond that of mineral and PAO lubricants.
Rust Protection: PAG lubricants, which are designed to be immiscible with
hydrocarbon oils, tend to absorb water more than mineral or PAO oils. Because
of the potential for high water-in-oil levels, care must be taken to prevent
the formation of rust on equipment. Mobil Glygoyle Series oils pass major
rust tests such as the ASTM D665A and Bethlehem Steel rust test parts A/B, and
receives 0,0 ratings in the DIN 51802 Emcor rust test with distilled water. In
addition, they show good yellow metal compatibility with a 1B rating in the
ASTM D130 test. Mobil Glygoyle Series is not recommended for use in areas
where saltwater contamination is expected.
Foam Control: Foam control is important, especially in boxes that are "Sealed
for Life". Mobil Glygoyle Series provides excellent results in all three
sequences of ASTM D 892 Foam Test.
EP/antiwear: Having the right blend of EP/AW protection is important,
especially in worm gears that contain bronze and other yellow metals. The
Glygoyle Series of lubricants show excellent EP/antiwear protection with
typical results of 12+ in the DIN 51354-2 FZG scuffing test, very low cage and
roller wear in the DIN 51819-3 FAG FE8 test, and excellent micropitting
protection with a result of ›10-high in the FVA 54 micropitting test (ISO 320).

Applications
As with other polyglycol-based lubricants, Mobil Glygoyle Series lubricants
are not miscible with mineral oils and most PAO synthetic oils. Mobil Glygoyle
Series must not be used as make-up for systems filled with mineral or PAO
synthetic oils, nor should mineral or PAO synthetic oils be used as make-up
for systems filled with Mobil Glygoyle products. Mobil Glygoyle Series are
hygroscopic and do not separate from water. Due to their inherent high
specific gravity, water does not drop to the bottom of reservoirs.
Mobil Glygoyle 460 is specifically designed for the lubrication of worm gears,
especially for heavy-duty, severe service applications, both in food-grade and
non food-grade applications. Additionally, the product family has also proven
to be excellent lubricants for all types of industrial gears and anti-friction
bearing applications under severe service conditions. Due to their unique
chemical make up, these oils do not typically leave deposits behind upon
reaching oxidative or thermal limitations. This, coupled with the fact that
they are not miscible with hydrocarbons (reduced viscosity dilution), makes
the lower viscosity grades especially effective in hydrocarbon gas compression
applications.
The Mobil Glygoyle Series is used for the lubrication of filled for life
gearboxes and heavy-duty worm gears, other industrial gearing in a wide
variety of applications, lubrication of plain and rolling contact bearings,
and most types of compressors.
Specific applications include:
- Filled for life gearboxes, especially high ratio/low-efficiency worm gears
- All worm gear applications such as those used in conveyers, escalators, material handling, press drives, packaging machinery, ski lifts, agitators and mixers.
- Other gear and bearing applications in the cement, metalworking, plastics, food and textile finishing industries.
- Plastic Calendars
- Gas Compression utilizing reciprocation, rotary, screw, and centrifugal type compressors in operating conditions beyond the capabilities of other synthetic lubricants and mineral oils.

Seal and Coating Compatibility

While Mobil Glygoyle Series oils are compatible with many seal and coating
materials, there is the potential for substantial variations in the elastomers
and coatings being used today. For best results, consult your equipment
supplier, seal manufacturer, or your local Mobil representative to verify
compatibility.
