GW-5
Semi-liquid grease for fifth-wheel and open gears

Description

The GW-5 fifth wheel and open gears semi-liquid grease outperforms all other similar greases on the market.

Characteristics and Benefits

The GW-5 unique formulation includes the following elements:

  • Graphite and molybdenum disulphide compound;
  • Overbased calcium sulfonate complex;
  • PROLAB's ANTIFRICTION TREATMENT;
  • Adherence agents;
  • Superior quality mineral oil base.


Its exclusive PROLAB formula brings the GW-5 fifth wheel and open gears semi-liquid grease to an exceptional level of performance: it is super adherent, it reduces friction, protects against rust, corrosion and oxidation, provides exceptional load, shock, impact and washout resistance and ensures excellent mechanical stability. GW-5 provides substantial savings by allowing for less frequent grease changes. Specifically developed for ground transportation, the GW-5 fifth wheel and open gears semi-liquid grease has been tested under the harshest performance conditions, including: extended service intervals, severe operating environment such as mining and forestry, excessively long hauls, redistribution network tractors, etc. In every one of these severe tests, the GW-5 demonstrated outstanding adherence and resistance to breakdown. It is available in semi-liquid form which makes it easy to apply.

Types of Application

The GW-5 fifth wheel and open gears semi-liquid grease is a must for trucking companies and for companies operating open gears equipment. It is ideal for greasing fifth wheels and landing gears and provides excellent results on open gears.

Compatibilities

The GW-5 is compatible with Teflon linings and considerably extend their service life.

Directions for Use

GW-5 can be easily applied with a brush, a roller, an atomizer or by simply pouring. On fifth wheels: thoroughly clean the fifth wheel before application so as to ensure metal saturation. Application should be made in a garage with controlled temperature. On open gears: GW-5 provides excellent results in equipment with rotational speeds of less than 800 rpm.

Warning

Whenever performing a grease change, make sure to validate the compatibility of the various greases used (refer to PROLAB's grease compatibility chart).
