ExxonMobil launch new-generation lubricants

ExxonMobil Lubricants and Petroleum Specialties Company (L&S) have announced the launch of their next-generation of Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants. These high-performance synthetic gear, circulating and bearing oils are the latest additions to the Mobil SHC brand of synthetic lubricants, which are formulated to help companies increase productivity, reduce costs and lower energy consumption. 

According to ExxonMobil, during extensive laboratory and in-service testing, the Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants exhibited energy savings of up to 3.6% compared with conventional oils. In addition, the enhanced lubricants – which feature the latest advanced synthetic base fluids and a proprietary additive system – are said to deliver a service life up to six times longer than competitive mineral oil-based gear and bearing lubricants. 

Other key performance benefits include superior low-temperature fluidity and excellent resistance to rusting and corrosion for equipment protection. Furthermore, the multi-purpose potential of Mobil SHC 600 Series oils can help companies reduce their overall lubricants inventory, resulting in additional cost-savings and storage benefits. 

‘Since their introduction more than 40 years ago, Mobil SHC 600 Series oils have been synonymous with exceptional performance and outstanding equipment protection, becoming the synthetic lubricants of choice for many successful companies in the global commercial and industrial marketplace,’ said Michael J. Hawkins, Mobil SHC global brand manager, L&S.  

‘The next-generation of Mobil SHC 600 Series oils have been developed to push the boundaries of lubricant performance and outstanding equipment protection, while delivering sustainability-related benefits such as reduced energy consumption and increased oil drain intervals.’

The Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants have been recommended for use in 1,800 applications by more than 500 major equipment builders, including Siemens for use in Flender gearboxes. In addition, the enhanced series is approved by leading gearbox manufacturers SEW-Eurodrive for both factory fill and service fill worldwide. 

They are also fully compatible with system components and materials used in equipment normally lubricated with mineral oils, which helps maintenance professionals minimize equipment issues during the conversion process.
