Lubrication Oil & Grease Portal of India

LA 8 is a highly viscous special lubricant which at the same time possesses an excellent creeping ability. LA 8 is mainly intended for the lubrication of highly loaded chain transmissions. The very adhesive film with EP and boundary lubrication capabilities, which is formed by LA 8 is extremely resistant against centrifugal forces and pressure. LA 8 is recommended or prescribed by leading printing press manufacturers. LA 8 is used straight for all types of chain transmissions or as an additive (5-20%) for mineral oils for all points of lubrication which need a particularly adhesive type of lubricant. LA 8 has an anti-noise effect.

Examples for application:
Delivery chains, guide rails, eccentrics, gripper opening curves, open gear wheels, chain guideways.
