Militec-1 is a clear golden synthetic liquid resembling an SAE 10-weight oil. When Militec-1 is added to the primary lubricant of any machine, it will increase operating efficiency, extend equipment life, reduce down-time and cut unscheduled maintenance.
Militec-1 Industrial Applications
The high value of Militec-1 for industrial maintenance has been proven over and over by many well-known industrial companies. The savings derived from Militec-1 use are many times greater than the cost of the product.
Militec-1 is the only oil additive/metal conditioner that has successfully penetrated the industrial market. Even more importantly, Militec-1 has been proven to be completely safe in metal-to-metal friction environments. Not one report has come from industry that shows a detrimental effect or negative outcome.
There are many applications forMilitec-1. It is compatible with all motor oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids and greases. It uses the oils as a vehicle to get to the metal surface which it penetrates (into the micro-pores) and bonds to the metal when the temperature reaches 150oF to 160oF. It can also be applied directly to metal surfaces such as in machine shop applications and on bearing surfaces before grease is packed.
Bonding occurs through a chemical reaction between the Militec-1 and the metal. Militec-1 becomes part of the metal itself, not just a coating on top of the metal. Scientific testing of treated metal surfaces shows that Militec-1 significantly increased the stiffness of the surface (not the hardness of the metal). Militec-1 does not remain in the oil when used at the recommended ratios. This is why Militec-1 should be added in addition to the normal amount of primary lubricant. Militec-1 is highly concentrated and only a small amount is needed.
Militec-1 was assessed in accordance with OSHA CFR 1910.1200 and determined not to be hazardous. Safety precautions are typically the same as for hydrocarbon lubricants: keep away from open flames; keep out of reach of children; keep container closed when not in use; store in original container; keep off food items; avoid eye contact; avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin contact; wash thoroughly after handling; avoid breathing oil mists.
The flash point of Militec-1 is 410oF and the auto-ignition temperature is 715oF. It has been seen to work at +2,000oF and -100oF. Once it has bonded with the metal, it has the characteristics of metal rather than fluid.
There is a caution to observe when using Militec-1 in some industrial equipment. When the equipment manufacturer specifies "non-detergent oil only", and there is a significant buildup of sludge in that equipment, or there is polycarbonate used for a window or filter bowl, Militec-1 should not be used. While these conditions are rare, they do occur. Militec-1 has a slight detergency and will loosen the sludge. However, if there is no sludge, Militec-1 can be used. Many Militec-1 customers change their polycarbonate filter bowls to metal or glass so they can use Militec-1 to obtain its benefit without the concern of causing cracks in the polycarbonate windows.
Recommended Uses:
- Gears
- Transmissions
- Bearings
- Engines
- Hydraulic Systems
- Gear Couplings
- Gear Reducers
- Pumps
- Electric Motors
- Heavy Machinery
- Compressors, Generators, Pistons, Rotary, and Air Conditioning units
- Hydraulic Sprockets and Chains
- Machine Shop/Air Tools/Compactors
- Sealed Valves/Stone Cutting/Drilling/Truck Lift Gates/Pressure Washers
- And ALL Lubrication systems requiring extra protection from extreme pressure, friction related heat and high-wear conditions
Militec-1 is being used in all of these applications to enhance the existing lubricants capabilities and improve the operating performance of the equipment.
Militec-1 use is unlimited when there is a need to reduce, friction, wear and heat on any metal to metal application.
Militec-1 Instructions for Industrial Applications
Below are suggested directions for using Militec-1 in diesel engines, buses, etc.
- Diesel and Gas Engines: Add 2 ounces per liter of engine displacement or 2 ounces per quart/liter of oil whichever is less for the first 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 500 operational hours. Add one ounce per liter of engine displacement or one ounce per quart/liter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 500 hours thereafter. Add Militec-1 every 1,000 hours of operation if the oil is not changed. Oil change and Militec-1 intervals can be extended if the recommended time for oil analyses indicate conditions "normal."
- Transmissions (Manual): Add 2 ounces per quart/liter of fluid every 1,000 hours of operation or 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
- Transmissions (Automatic): Add 1 ounce per quart/liter of fluid every 1,000 hours of operation or 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
- Differentials: Add 1 ounce per quart/liter of oil every 1,000 hours of operation or 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
- Power Steering: Add 1 ounce per quart/liter of fluid every 1,000 hours of operation or 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
- Wheel Bearings: Coat metal surface with thin film of Militec-1 before packing with grease containing 10% to 15% Militec-1 or use Militec EP-2 Grease.
- Gearboxes, Fluid Drivers, Speed Reducers: Add 2 ounces per quart/liter of primary lubricant every 1,000 hours of operation or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). For large sumps with extra large oil reservoirs and oil coolers, add 1 ounce per quart/liter every 1,500 hours of operation.
- Air Compressors: Add 3 ounces per quart/liter of primary lubricant for the first 1,000 operational hours. Subsequent applications, add 1 ounce per quart/liter of primary lubricant. Apply each oil change or every 1,000 hours whichever is greater, not to exceed 1,500 operational hours.
- Refrigeration, Air Conditioners: Add ¼ ounce per ton of refrigeration capacity.
- Hydraulics: Add 8 ounces to every 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid every 1,000 hours of operation.
- Metal Working Applications: Apply a film to all metal working surface zones.
- Soluble Oil Fluids: Add 10% to fluid; top off fluid ratios add 5%.
- Chains, Couplers: Apply a film to all metal working surface areas.
