Duolec

Lubrication Engineers’ exclusive dual action additive that provides elasto-hydro-dynamic (EHD) antiwear (AW) film strength enhancement & boundary lubrication extreme pressure (EP) surface protection.

What is DUOLEC™?

• DUOLEC™ is the newest Lubrication Engineers proprietary additive incorporating revolutionary technology designed specifically for use in Lubrication Engineers gear lubricants.
• It is a temperature activated, dual acting, liquid additive that imparts special properties and synergies to the Lubrication Engineers Products in which it is used.

What does DUOLEC™ do?

• DUOLEC™ increases lubricant film strength and protects metal surfaces outperforming at greater temperatures and loads.

How does DUOLEC™ work?

• DUOLEC™ incorporates revolutionary new technology which is thermally activated to provide a dual layer of antiwear and extreme pressure protection that forms a solid-like protective layer on the metal surface.
• This layer fills surface asperities, effectively smoothing the surface and minimizing the effects of any metal to metal contact thereby reducing friction and preventing welding and surface wear.
• DUOLEC™ also greatly enhances the film strength of the oil to prevent rupture of the oil film, and thus minimize asperity contact and prolong the time before asperity contact occurs.
• The technology in DUOLEC™ is designed to be thermally activated in stages. When the loads are increasing, the EHD and mixed film antiwear components of DUOLEC™ kick in.
• After loads become even greater, then the boundary lubrication extreme pressure performance of DUOLEC™ is activated.

How does DUOLEC™ perform?

• DUOLEC™ acts synergistically to improve performance qualities of other components in the lubricants.
• DUOLEC™ reduces wear by reducing friction, improving oil film strength and providing surface protection when extreme pressures cause metal to metal contact.
• DUOLEC™ is a liquid additive which does not build up or fall out of solution.
• DUOLEC™ is designed especially for use in gear lubricants and under the conditions and loads typical to gear service.
