Four Ways to Protect Your Equipment

Prevent engine issues caused by deposits and sludge

Effective lubrication prevents the build-up of piston deposits and crankcase sludge, keeping your engine running as smoothly as possible for as long as possible in even the harshest of conditions.

Control engine wear in every environment

Working in wet or dusty environments – as well as high or low temperatures – puts your engine at risk of wear. Avoid this with lubrication that forms a protective film over the key components in your equipment.

Protect against combustion corrosion

Without the right lubrication, simply starting your engine can be a common cause of corrosion. Protect your machinery’s pistons and cylinders from rapid wear to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Extend equipment life and productivity

The daily operation of your machinery exposes it to a range of unwanted contaminants. Effective lubrication helps to fight these off and prevent the issues they cause – meaning a longer equipment life and greater productivity.
