Paragon Gold is a “eutectic” type gear oil formulated for use in all gearboxes, but especially where excessive wear and short component life drive up operating costs.
Inadequately lubricated gears and bearings can experience scuffing under high load. Scuffing occurs when the tips of opposing asperities momentarily weld. The extreme pressure and anti-wear additives used in Paragon Gold stops scuffing by forming a protective chemical layer in the area of contact. The surfaces continue to experience high load, but rather than micro welding, they are made smoother by the pressure.
The eutectic smoothing effect of Paragon Gold will also partially flatten pre-existing wear damage, usually within a few hundred hours of operation. Condemned equipment can stay in service indefinitely, or until a scheduled shutdown.
Pitting is also stopped by the use of Paragon Gold. Pitting is caused by metal fatigue and metal fatigue is minimized when the load is carried by a smoother surface. Some “initial pitting” may still occur when Paragon Gold is used, especially where there is misalignment.
All viscosity grades of Paragon Gold meet the requirements of DIN 51517-3.
BENEFITS:
- WEAR PROTECTION – stops wear under a wide variety of operating conditions, including the most severe load.
- SMOOTHING OF SURFACES – smoothes contact surfaces of bearings and gears under load.
- LONG COMPONENT LIFE – lab testing has revealed extremely low wear and friction levels using Paragon Gold. Field-testing has verified outstanding wear protection.
- LONG OIL LIFE – Highly resistant to oxidation, a major cause of reduced lubricant life.
- RUST PROTECTION – leaves a film on gears that remains in place during long shutdown periods. This coating prevents rust and ensures a lubricating film at startup.
- CLEAN – low-sludge additive system ensures components remain clean and free of deposits for years of operation.
APPLICATIONS:
Use Paragon Gold where conventional gear oils fail, where long component life is essential, or where long intervals between oil changes are unavoidable.
Suitable applications can be found in almost any industry
