Lubrication Engineers exclusive dual action additive that provides elasto-hydro-dynamic (EHD) antiwear
(AW) film strength enhancement & boundary lubrication extreme pressure (EP) surface protection.
What is DUOLEC™?
- DUOLEC™ is the newest Lubrication Engineers proprietary additive incorporating revolutionary technology designed
specifically for use in Lubrication Engineers gear lubricants.
- It is a temperature activated, dual acting, liquid additive that imparts special properties and
synergies to the Lubrication Engineers Products in which it is used.
What does DUOLEC™ do?
- DUOLEC™ increases lubricant film strength and protects metal surfaces outperforming at
greater temperatures and loads.
How does DUOLEC™ work?
- DUOLEC™ incorporates revolutionary new technology which is thermally activated to provide a
dual layer of antiwear and extreme pressure protection that forms a solid-like protective layer on the
metal surface.
- This layer fills surface asperities, effectively smoothing the surface and minimizing the effects of
any metal to metal contact thereby reducing friction and preventing welding and surface wear.
- DUOLEC™ also greatly enhances the film strength of the oil to prevent rupture of the oil film,
and thus minimize asperity contact and prolong the time before asperity contact occurs.
- The technology in DUOLEC™ is designed to be thermally activated in stages. When the loads are
increasing, the EHD and mixed film antiwear components of DUOLEC™ kick in.
- After loads become even greater, then the boundary lubrication extreme pressure performance of
DUOLEC™ is activated.
How does DUOLEC™ perform?
- DUOLEC™ acts synergistically to improve performance qualities of other components in the
lubricants.
- DUOLEC™ reduces wear by reducing friction, improving oil film strength and providing
surface protection when extreme pressures cause metal to metal contact.
- DUOLEC™ is a liquid additive which does not build up or fall out of solution.
- DUOLEC™ is designed especially for use in gear lubricants and under the conditions and
loads typical to gear service.
