PRODUCT BENEFITS
Outstanding Mechanical Stability—JAX Halo-Guard FG-2 demonstrates excellent mechanical stability, showing little change in Cone Penetration (ASTM D 217) or consistency after 100,000 strokes. There is no evidence of shear breakdown in the Roll Stability Test (ASTM D 1831), even in an extended high-temperature, modified version to increase the test’s severity.
Unsurpassed E.P. and Antiwear Performance—JAX Halo-Guard FG-2 is formulated with select base materials and additives to show unsurpassed E.P. and antiwear characteristics.These characteristics are illustrated with JAX Halo-Guard FG-2’s Timken OK Values (ASTM D 2509) of 60 pounds or greater and 4-Ball EP (ASTM D 2596) LWI results of over 60 kgf with a weld point of 500 kgf. 4-Ball Wear (ASTM D 2266) performance is equally impressive with typical wear scar of less than 0.40 mm.
Protects Against Rust and Corrosion—The calcium sulfonate thickener system of JAX Halo-Guard FG-2 provide excellent natural rust and corrosion protection. JAX Halo- Guard FG easily passes the standard Corrosion Preventive Properties Test (ASTM D 1743). A severe, Salt Fog Test (ASTM B 117) yields passing performance in excess of 300 hours, something few food-grade greases of any other technology can achieve.
Thermal and Oxidative Stability—The thermal and oxidative stability of JAX Halo-Guard FG-2 means that excellent performance in most high-temperature applications can be achieved without specialized grease. A dropping point (ASTM D 2265) of 600°F (316°C) means that Halo-Guard FG-2 is the highest temperature-capable, heavy-duty, food-grade grease on the market. JAX Halo- Guard FG will outperform nearly all industrial nonfood-grade greases in high-temperature oxidation stability, a remarkable achievement for a food-grade, NSF H1 grease!
Excellent Water Resistance—Water resistance is of particular importance in food-grade grease applications. Few industrial applications are subject to the severe process and sanitation water and chemical contamination inherent in modern food and beverage plants. JAX Halo- Guard FG-2 is one of the most water-resistant food-grade greases currently on the market.
Contains Micronox®—A first in food-grade lubricants, JAX Micronox® has proven especially effective in protecting JAX Halo-Guard FG greases over extended lubrication intervals.
APPLICATIONS
The outstanding performance characteristics of JAX Halo- Guard FG-2 can benefit numerous food- and beverage-plant applications. It is primarily formulated for highly loaded gear sets and bearings, and all food- or beverage-equipment subject to water and corrosive washdown. As a ‘Heavy-Duty’ food-grade grease, JAX Halo-Guard FG can extend food-grade integrity to shop and plant equipment including fork trucks, conveyors, material handling equipment, presses, grain presses and packaging machines.
COMPATIBILITY
Extensive grease compatibility studies have shown that JAX Halo-Guard FG-2 possesses very good compatibility with the vast majority of the most popular food-grade greases currently on the market.
