- Technologies
- Product Families
- Proprietary Additive
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Duolec® Industrial Gear Oil contains Duolec. Duolec® dual-acting additive imparts synergistic properties to lubricants, providing both wear-reducing and extreme pressure protection. The result of revolutionary technology designed specifically for use in LE gear lubricants, Duolec increases oil film strength and is temperature activated to provide a protective layer that smooths metal surfaces and minimizes the effects of any contact, thereby reducing friction and preventing surface wear.
Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Beneficial Qualities
Maintains performance in extreme conditions:
- Possesses high film strength.
- Remains stable despite high temps.
- Resists oxidation and sludge formation.
- Provides wear-reducing and EP/antiscuff protection.
Adheres to metal:
- Contains shear-stable tackifier that allows oil to adhere to metal components.
- Remains tacky during high shear use.
Resists moisture:
- Separates readily from water, continuing to provide effective lubrication.
- Ordinary gear oils will emulsify and foam, causing increased friction and poor lubrication.
Filterable:
- Contains no solids that can be removed during filtration.
- Remains within viscosity grade after filtration.
