Why choose Galrex EP 460

Duckhams Galrex EP Gear Oils are a range of extreme pressure industrial gear oils blended from virgin mineral base oils with a balanced additive system, which includes extreme pressure and anti-wear additives and corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. They are suitable for most types of industrial enclosed gear drives for both circulation and splash lubrication systems. Developed using virgin high-quality base oils, these products meet or exceed industry standards for DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP) gear fluids. Available in ISO viscosity grades 150, 220, 320 and 460.

  • Excellent load-carrying capability protects gears against scuffing, extending component life and reducing maintenance costs.
  • High thermal and oxidative stability reduces sludge and deposit formation, maintaining system cleanliness and supporting extended oil drain intervals.
  • Provides effective rust and corrosion protection to all gearbox components.
  • Excellent water-shedding properties enable trouble-free operation in conditions where water or moisture is present, maintaining lubrication and extending component life.
  • Anti-foam additives reduce the formation of foam and bubbles within the gear oil, maintaining good lubricant film strength and ensuring adequate lubrication.
  • Suitable for use in heavy-duty industrial enclosed gears with splash, mist or circulating lubrication systems, operating under heavy or shock loading conditions requiring extreme pressure performance.
  • Can be used in a wide range of industrial gear types, including spur, helical, bevel and steel-on-steel worm gears, and in journal and rolling-contact industrial bearings operating at low speeds and high loads.
