Cleaner, more cost-effective lubricants
The Mobil SHC line of synthetic lubricants is designed to protect equipment operating under severe conditions.
Staff Reporter - Many truck fleet companies, mines and other industrial players are very price-conscience when it comes to oils and lubricants for their trucks, ships, plants or machinery, and rightly so.
These are tough times, with the world economic downturn affecting all these industries, especially in Namibia. Hence, companies, industries and mines often opt for more affordable lubricants.
Although this reduces the overheads pressure slightly, the decision to buy cheaper often comes back to bite later on, with unforeseen breakdowns or more frequent maintenance costs.
In line with the need for more environmentally friendly lubricants, there is a shift to using more synthetic ones, as opposed to mineral-based oils.
It was reported that between 2009 and 2016, Mobil SHC synthetic lubricants delivered more than US$62 million in documented customer savings, due to switching to synthetics.
The Mobil SHC line of synthetic lubricants is designed to protect equipment operating under severe conditions, including loads and pressures, frequent starts and stops, wide operating temperature ranges and contamination.
Advantages
These synthetic lubricants provide distinct advantages that far exceed the capabilities of conventional oils.
Mobil SHC synthetic lubricants offer long oil life and can extend equipment life, creating less waste and potential energy savings, while helping to increase worker safety by minimising potentially hazardous maintenance.
Other advantages of Mobil SHC synthetic lubricants include high-temperature capability, excellent resistance to oxidation, low-temperature flow properties and protection against wear.
