Chevron’s Delo brand of technologically
advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants, has announced the latest
member of its product family, Delo® Heavy Duty
EP. Formulated with Chevron ISOSYN® base
stocks, Delo Heavy Duty EP greases are ideal for on- and off-highway
construction and maintenance vehicles, including tri-axle dump trucks
and cement mixers, as well as a wide variety of off-road applications,
including construction, surface and underground mining and agriculture.
Delo Heavy Duty greases display outstanding water washout and spray-off
resistance properties in wet, off-road environments and offer excellent
shock load extreme pressure (EP) protection. These properties make the
product ideal for use with pins and bushings on buckets, loaders,
shovels and continuous miners, shaker screens, crushers, and conveyors.
"With the introduction of our new Delo Heavy
Duty EP, we’ve created a comprehensive Delo
grease offering,” said John Geyer, global
industrial channel specialist, Chevron Products Company. "These
new greases are ideal for the severe service environments found in the
heavy duty off-road construction and mining industries. It is also fully
compatible with our proven Delo Grease EP currently available.
Regardless of the operating environment, our customers will have the
best grease for the job. They will also be able to transition from one
grease to another, when seasonal demands require, without compatibility
issues.” 3% and 5% Moly Versions
Two versions of the new grease – Delo®
Heavy Duty Moly 3% EP and Delo® Heavy Duty
Moly 5% EP – are also available. These
greases will work in a wide range of applications where 3% and 5%
molybdenum content is required to meet OEM warranty specification
requirements.
The unique additive technology of these products makes them tenacious in
adhering to metal surfaces found in these demanding heavy duty
environments while helping to protect the machine’s
vital components from wear, rust and corrosion.
Availability
Delo Heavy Duty EP, Delo Heavy Duty Moly 3% EP and Delo Heavy Duty Moly
5% EP will be available across North American in the second quarter of
2008. Please contact Chevron or your local lubricant marketer for more
information on availability and package styles.
All three Delo Heavy Duty EP greases come in multiple grades:
NLGI 1 for better pumpability at lower ambient temperatures
NLGI 2 for use in normal ambient temperatures
Delo Heavy Duty EP greases meet the requirements of the Mack MG-C grease
specification and also meet Caterpillar recommendations for greases
containing 3% and 5% molybdenum disulfide.
