Mill and Calender Lubricants
Large-scale mills and calenders used by the rubber, textile, paper, and plastics industries require lubricants for large-diameter journal or sleeve bearings, anti-friction bearings, and several types of gearing. While petroleum lubricants are often suitable for moderate temperature operation, at elevated temperatures (calender roll temperatures above 177°C), these fluids can form carbonaceous residues, contributing to lubricating problems and increased maintenance. UCON™ calender lubricants are formulated for high-temperature service, and are supplied in several viscosity grades to offer greater flexibility in high-temperature equipment than petroleum products.
The table below lists the typical viscosity† to help you select which product will meet your needs.
