allow easier application.
Easily and safely applied
High flash point, chlorine-free solvent allows product to be sprayed through automatic
spray nozzle equipment, or applied by dipping, brushing or swabbing, leaving a
viscous adhesive oil film after evaporation of the solvent.
Applications
Can include:
• Wire ropes
• Open gears (e.g., mining, quarrying, construction and dredging equipment)
• Chains and sprockets
• Flexible couplings
• Sliding surfaces (e.g., drag lines and shovels)
Suitable for application by brushing, swabbing, dipping, spraying, drip cup or spout
type can. Spray application may be by conventional drum pump and spray nozzle
equipment designed for fluid lubricants and greases.
Grade Selection
Selection of the appropriate grade depends on the severity of the application and the
operating temperature. Grade H has the higher film strength for severe-duty service
or where operating temperatures are high.

Service considerations
Crater Fluids M and H were developed to provide the benefit of heavy oil lubricants,
but with easier application characteristics. They are viscous materials thinned by a
high flash point, chlorine-free solvent to permit application by brushing, swabbing,
dipping, spraying, drip cup or spout type can. The high flash point solvent evaporates
after application, leaving a very viscous, tenacious oil film. However, caution should be
exercised when considering these products for applications exposed to open flame or
spark sources (kilns, etc.).
Crater Fluids M and H are sprayable using conventional drum pump and spray nozzle
equipment designed for fluid lubricant and grease. If changing from a residual oil based
product which contained a chlorinated solvent, check spray equipment pipe and nozzle
sizes. Crater Fluids M and H may have a different viscosity compared to “equivalent”
residual oil based lubricants which contained chlorinated solvents.
Application frequency, duration, spray nozzle pattern and gear tooth coverage must be
determined by the equipment operator in order to minimize wear. Large open gear tooth
wear is not only affected by the lubricant but is also strongly dependent upon proper
gear tooth alignment. Proper alignment must be maintained in order to realize maximum
gear life.
It is preferable to have gears clean before Crater Fluid is applied for the first time. If
this is not possible, then several applications may be necessary to clean off the former
lubricant and provide a proper film of Crater.
