iwis has developed a new lubricant
for roller and conveyor chains. Sold
under the Elidur brand, the highperformance
lubricant was developed
for Elite chains to replace the current
initial lubrication of all standard
roller chains up to 32B or ANSI160.
It is reported that manufacturer's tests have shown that the optimised blend of wear additives improves the service life of Elite roller and conveyor chains by up to 250%.
The new lubricant has good adhesive properties, provides good corrosion protection, reduces chain noise and is compatible with other lubricants. Elidur is a mineral oil based chain oil with additives, is water-insoluble and non-toxic. It can be used in temperatures from -5 to 120°C. Its kinematic viscosity is 460 cSt (centistokes) at 40°C.
