Store barrels indoors away from extreme temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
If you are looking for specific application data or compatibility with your machinery, it is recommended to check the manufacturer's technical data sheet for detailed viscosity and additive information.
Flexislip 68 Extra Quality premium-grade industrial lubricant flexislip 68 extra quality
Often categorized as an ISO VG 68 or SAE 20W equivalent oil. Industrial Applications Hydraulic Oil VHVI 68 - Sasol
Features a midpoint kinematic viscosity of 68 mm²/s (centistokes) at 40°C. Industrial Applications Hydraulic Oil VHVI 68 - Sasol
: Explicitly rated for demanding slideway applications. Comparative Analysis: Flexislip 68 vs. Standard Oils Performance Parameter Flexislip 68 Extra Quality Standard ISO 68 Mineral Oil Static-to-Dynamic Friction Excellent ratio; prevents jerkiness High static friction; prone to stick-slip Coolant Separation Rapid demulsibility; extends coolant life Prone to emulsification; forms sludge Vertical Adhesion High tackiness; resists gravity runoff Low tackiness; washes away quickly EP/Anti-Wear Protection Advanced sulfur-phosphorus package Basic zinc or minimal anti-wear additives Primary Applications
They prevent the buildup of harmful sludge and varnish, extending the life of both the lubricant and the machinery. prevents jerkiness High static friction
It is also important to note that the FlexiSlip stylet is listed as containing chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. While this is a regulatory requirement for sale in California, it is a relevant safety data point for all users.
