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.
