Wind Turbine Gearbox Shield™ is the ultimate protection for the moving metal parts in gearboxes. Utilizing the most Advanced Boundary Film (ABF) Technology, it is carried to the contacting metal surfaces by the oil that is used in gearboxes. ABF reacts chemically with the contacting metal surfaces while improving lubricity and load carrying capacity on the metal surfaces to form a complex film of protection. ABF protects moving metal parts from heat, friction and wear in abrasion, extreme pressure torque, dry startup and shutdown. Increased performance and greatly reduced maintenance and downtime are the results. These performance goals are achieved through ABF Technology by lowering the operating temperatures, extending the life of component parts and increasing gearbox reliability.

Technical Details & Test Data
- ABF Technology
Steel Shield Technologies' mechanism of operation is based upon advanced methods of Tribology that improve lubricity and load carrying capacity. This, in turn, improves surface characteristics while simultaneously creating a stable chemical Advanced Boundary Film on the contacting metal surfaces of whatever equipment in which it is added. The process of Advanced Boundary Film formation is achieved through a unique combination of long-chain halogenated hydrocarbons and other proprietary additives that are highly stable and noncorrosive to the equipment's metal parts, and pose no threat to the environment or waste oil recovery systems. Steel Shield reacts chemically, under thermal conditions with the contacting metal surfaces, to form a complex surfaceattaching film of protection. Steel Shield's characteristics are "electro-negative", which causes it to seek out and affix itself to the metallic surface areas. During this process, surface smoothing is accomplished, resulting in improved spread characteristics of the surfaces themselves. The final state of the opposing metal surfaces increases the fluid film strength even more, resulting in greatly reduced wear while imparting extreme pressure (EP) properties to the opposing metal surfaces. The result is a virtual elimination of frictional wear and significant cooling of the entire lubricated area yielding higher energy savings and reduced metallic debris and acids in the oil. This is extensively proven through elemental oil analysis and Ferrography of the used oil, before and after the use of Steel Shield's Advanced Boundary Film Technology
