OPTIMOL® OPTIPIT®

Product Data Sheet


OPTIMOL OPTIPIT-brownish, transparent tacky grease based on lithium-12-hydroxystearate with extremely high oil
viscosity.
MICROFLUX TRANS® (TRANS=Triple Action Non-sacrificial Surface engineering) improves friction surfaces to an
extent not possible with normal machining processes and conventional EP lubricants. In a tribological system, the
polarized MICROFLUX TRANS® additives instantaneously create a passive film on friction surfaces before friction
occurs. At a given load level, the MICROFLUX TRANS® additives release compounds forming a resistant
protective layer on friction surfaces. Under severe load, components of the MICROFLUX TRANS® additive
combination are activated and diffuse into the surfaces initiating an improvement of their friction characteristics
through plastic deformation. The organic reaction products become a component of the tribopolymer system.
Unlike the case with conventional lubricants, the tribopolymers formed by MICROFLUX TRANS® are long-chained
compounds with excellent lubricity and adhesion.
The load carrying area is improved, a hydrodynamic lubrication film is easier to maintain. This unique physio-
chemical reaction is OPTIMOL surface engineering and achieves a non-sacrificial micro-smoothing of the friction
surfaces.
The MICROFLUX TRANS® additive technology provides optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient
of friction even under extremes of pressure, vibration, shock loads, at high or low speeds or varying operational
conditions.
OPTIMOL OPTIPIT builds up a stable grease collar at the bearing edges, supporting the seals to prevent
penetration of dirt, water and other contaminations.
OPTIMOL OPTIPIT enables a hydrodynamic lubricating film even at low speeds.
