Tribological Properties, Qualities, and Features

Proven Leader In Gear Oil Stability

Stability is what defines a premium quality gear oil. Stability is the most notable quality of United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) made from Stabilized2 HOBS1 and Bio Corrosion Inhibitor (BCI™) chemistries.

The overall stability of United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is a function of four main qualities: Oxidation Stability, Mechanical Shear Stability, Hydrolytic Stability, and Combustion Stability.

 

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) made from Stabilized HOBS shows performance improvements over petroleum in nearly all physical properties:

 
Superior Lubricity

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is specially formulated to outperform petroleum based products. The natural oily Fluid Film of this high viscosity fluid has proven in laboratory and field tests to outperform petroleum base oils in terms of Lubricity.

Greater lubricity leads to:

  • Less Wear
  • Less Energy Consumption
  • Lower Operating Temperatures

The superior lubricity makes gear-boxes run cooler, quieter, and efficiently.

 
Super High Viscosity Index

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) has a very high Viscosity Index, i.e. VI = 180, that prevents viscosity breakdown under high-shear conditions.

The super high, shear stable Viscosity Index (i.e. VI = 180) allows pumps to be safely started at low ambient temperatures where the flow properties of conventional straight grade petroleum based gear oils often cause problems. The high Viscosity Index of Stabilized HOBS improves operating reliability over a wide range of pump output pressures.

Conversely, at higher operating temperatures, the high Viscosity Index maintains the proper Viscosity required to minimize internal pump Leakage and Wear.

Note:  High shear rates and turbulent flow conditions often present in gear systems can quickly destroy the molecular bonds of petroleum based gear oils (Mineral Oil, Synthetic, Synthetic Blends) over time resulting in loss of viscosity.

 
Energy Conserving Formulas

Superior Lubricity is achieved by a super high shear stable Viscosity Index which naturally improves Cold Temperature Performance while retaining the proper viscosity at extreme temperatures. The superb low temperature fluidity reduces wear, facilitates Start-up, and conserves energy.

The high Viscosity Index (VI) of the Stabilized HOBS allows Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) to be Energy Conserving in the startup mode while providing improved load protection to reduce wear during operation. The high Viscosity Index (VI) makes these products lighter and therefore more Energy Efficient at room temperatures up to 40 °C. Additionally, Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) provides a heavier, more protective, full fluid film than mineral based formulas at high loads and operating temperatures above 60 °C.

Friction in transmissions and differentials reduces output energy. Lost energy translates into less power and poor fuel economy. The super high Viscosity Index reduces friction between moving parts resulting in less heat generated. Less heat means Less Energy Consumption. The saved energy is transmitted to the wheels, allowing for greater fuel economy from every gallon of fuel burned.

 
Naturally High Load Carrying Capacity

The extremely high Fluid Film Strength of United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) naturally provides a high level of wear protection against Galling and Welding in heavily loaded gears, as measured by an EP Weld Point of 250 kg.

Third party, independent test data validates that United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is superior to conventional mineral oils in Accelerated Wear tests.

Mild Extreme Pressure and Anti-Wear additives exceed FZG Method (i.e. Load Stage 12) requirements for both turbine oils and reduction gears.

 
Oxidation Stability

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) has exceptional Thermal Stability and Oxidation Resistance which allows for extended drain intervals and reduced maintenance costs. It resists Thermal Breakdown to further protect gears and bearings while increasing oil Service Life.

Patented Stabilized2 HOBS1 technology provides superior chemical and Thermal Oxidation Stability at both low and high Ambient or Extreme temperatures. Unlike conventional lubricants, Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is able to maintain its protective qualities and capabilities under severe thermal stress by physically retaining the correct viscosity at all operating temperatures.

Stabilized HOBS prevents the formation of harmful and damaging Acids, Deposits, Glaze, Varnish or Sludge on transmissions synchronizers and other components.

Advanced Stabilized HOBS 4 technology keeps Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) from breaking down and forming acidic residues that harm rubber seals and other elastomers.

Bench tests measuring Oxidation Stability indicate United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is superior in comparison with non-stabilized, commercial vegetable oils (i.e. Rapeseed, Canola, Soy) and mineral oils in terms of reduced oil thickening and deposits.

 
Thermal Stability

Withstands both High and Low temperature variations.

  • Long life Heat Stability
  • High Flash Point = 280 °C, 536 °F
  • High Fire Point = 340 °C, 644 °F
     
  • Advanced Cold Flow Technology
  • Superb cold temperature Starting, Pumpability, and performance.
  • Low Pour Point = -30 °C, -22 ° F

 
Bio Corrosion Inhibitors (BCI™)

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is engineered to prevent corrosion and rust from occurring on the surface of metals in both fresh and sea water environments.

Patented Bio Corrosion Inhibitor (BCI™) chemistry effectively inhibits both Corrosion of Yellow metals and Rusting of Ferrous metals.

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is highly resistant to moisture.

No other competitive lubricant company has this advanced BCI™ chemistry offering.

 
Demulsibility (Water Resistance)

Advanced Hydrolytic Stability and Demulsification properties protect against moisture damage.

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) forms an Adhesive lubricating Fluid Film with a low tendency to evaporate and high resistance to water. Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is highly resistant to emulsification.

Note:  Water contamination of gear oils causes poor lubrication, corrosion, and accelerated rates of oxidation of the gear oil.

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) resists mixing and emulsification with water by pooling together micro-droplets of water and precipitating this water into larger droplets that fall out of the system.

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) separates readily from water. Demulsifiers work in two stages to prevent emulsification and enhance water separation. First, demulsification agents Flocculate the water droplets into bubbles by forming chemical bonds between water droplets. Demulsifier molecules, absorbed on the droplet's sheath, amplify chemical attractions between water molecules, forcing them together.

In the second stage, water molecules Coalescence, or merge into larger water droplets. Demulsifiers penetrate the emulsified film to form a channel through which water drains from one droplet to the other.

Both of these mechanisms allow small, stable water bubbles to combine into larger bubbles that sink to the bottom of the gear box to be drained off.

 
Resistance Against Foaming

All industrial gear drives are exposed to airflow. The churning action of gears and bearings through gear oil can cause Air Entrainment or Foaming, especially in high speed gear sets.

Foam Suppressant and rapid Air-Release agents prevent wear caused by lubricant foaming and Aeration. By inhibiting foam and aeration, a proper Boundary Lubrication condition is maintained to prevent contact between metal surfaces at all times.

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) Resists Foaming through the use of Anti-Foam agents designed to prevent foam by lowering the surface tension of air bubbles. This change in surface tension causes air bubbles to either collapse or rupture quickly.

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - ISO 32 prevents common problems due to Foaming:

  • Cavitation and Erosion
  • Increased machine operating temperatures
  • Inadequate lubrication due to reduced oil flow
  • Loss of oil film between mating surfaces of gears
  • Spongy and erratic operation
  • Loss of the gear lubricant due to overflow
  • Increased oxidation of gear oil
  • Increased gear and bearing noise

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) passes the ASTM D 892, "Foaming Characteristics of Lubricating Oils" test method with Zero Foam.

 
Extremely Low Volatility

No Off-Gassing of harmful vapors and fumes.

  • Low Evaporation means less Make-up Gear Oil
  • Extremely Low Volatility leads to higher Flash Point
  • Durable and long lasting
