Technical Details & Test Data

Performance Characteristics
  • Resists thinning.
  • Resists hardening.
  • Protects steel and alloy copper bearings.
  • Great for high speed bearings.
  • Superb water washout characteristics.
  • High and low temperature protection.
  • All weather formula.
  • Great for extreme load applications.

Mechanical Stability - Blue Max 311 resists thinning or hardening in bearings, thereby minimizing leakage and maintaining extended, long life service.

Oxidation And Corrosion Protection - The high level of additive treatment minimizes chemical deterioration over extended periods of storage and service. Protects steel and copper alloy bearings against rust and corrosion.

Extreme Pressure Protection - The EP additives in Blue Max 311 provide effective wear protection for ball and roller bearings at high rpm and under heavy load.

Formulation - Superior quality refined lube stocks are combined with a high quality lithium complex thickener and additives under rigid laboratory and process control. Special compounding supplies beneficial anti-friction properties.

Temperature Stability - Blue Max 311 offers excellent low temperature pumpability and high temperature protection.

Water Resistance - It effectively resists washout and excessive dilution by water, assuring all-weather lubrication.
