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 four viscosity grades in the Mobil Mist
Lube Series, ranging from ISO VG 32 to 460, allow the machine designer to
choose the product most suitable for proper mist lubrication of machine
elements. The heavier grades are used on ways, gears, and slow-speed, heavily
loaded bearings, while the lower viscosity grades are used in high-speed
bearings.
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:

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
