Armor Plate with Moly-D is a complete departure from the old form of open gear lubrication.  Most compounds are asphaltic or tar-like residues and extremely messy.  They either are extremely difficult to apply because heating is required, or they contain a high percentage of highly volatile solvent cut-back which is not only dangerous but is material paid for which merely evaporates, leaving a hardened material which is not really a lubricant.

Armor Plate with Moly-D EP Open Gear Lubricant is carefully compounded with an exclusive process utilizing a completely synthetic non-metallic thickener which is chemically treated to make it hydrophobic, or totally waterproof.  This property is permanent and stable up to 930ºF.  This thickener imparts superior mechanical stability to the grease because it gives the grease “structural viscosity” rather than a stratified lattice structure.  This means other greases or chemical contaminants will not cause Armor Plate with Moly-D EP Open Gear Lubricant to break down.

The base fluid of Armor Plate with Moly-D EP Open Gear Lubricant is a highly viscous, shear-stable, high molecular weight polymer and a highly refined mineral oil for superior lubricating qualities and high film strength.

This base fluid and thickener is compounded with Moly-D, our special molybdenum compound for superior extreme-pressure protection and anti-wear qualities, as well as additional additives for exceptional rust and corrosion protection, oxidation inhibition, and tenacious adherence to metal surfaces.
 

The highest degree of extreme pressure protection is attained in Armor Plate.  The use of  chemical EP additives combined with Moly-D offers the ultimate in protection against wear for metal surfaces.  A plating action is actually formed which is a practically impenetrable barrier against metal-to-metal contact.

Armor Plate with Moly-D with its superior adhesive properties also provides a perfect seal of protection against all elements in exposed applications.  This grease is completely waterproof, even against salt water, and cannot be washed off.  In addition, its powerful rust and corrosion inhibitors resist all types of chemical attack including acids and alkalies, and it resists the penetrating effect of solvents.  Very importantly, it is compatible with all other greases.  A true hi-temp lubricant, it is non-melt and uses an extremely high viscosity index base fluid that thins out very little at temperatures compared to asphalts and conventional greases.  It is a heavy grease, but it remains very pliable at low temperatures, unlike other products which completely harden.  It will not pound out, sling off, or wash out, and its tremendous affinity for metal surfaces makes it highly adhesive, yet it is not so stringy that it pulls off or is difficult to work with.
