EXTENDING CHAIN LIFE WITH PROPER LUBRICATION
FEATURED PRODUCT: 2059 MONOLEX Penetrating Oil And
Lubricant
Lubrication Engineers' 2059 MONOLEX Penetrating Oil
and Lubricant gives long-lasting protection against
the formation of rust and corrosion. It leaves a
tough lubricant film that reduces friction between
mating surfaces even under severe conditions and can
be used to quickly dissolve most rust, gum and
varnish and to loosen seized components. 2059
MONOLEX can be used as a light chain lubricant,
parts cleaner and to prevent squeaking. Benefits of
this product include:
- Protects against corrosion, rust and varnish: 2059
MONOLEX contains a water displacing agent that
carries away moisture, allowing the lubricant to
form a protective layer against corrosion. It
penetrates quickly and works its way through layers
of rust and varnish to free up "frozen" bolts, pins,
linkages, hinges and valves.
- Provides excellent wear reduction: 2059 MONOLEX is
formulated with extreme pressure additives and
MONOLEC (Lubrication Engineers' proprietary
additive) to reduce metal to metal contact,
friction, wear and heat without affecting
tolerances.
- Versatility: 2059 MONOLEX can be used in dozens of
applications such as maintenance shops, chains,
farming equipment, and hard to reach areas.

TECHNI-TIP:
Extending Chain Life With Proper Lubrication
The majority of chains used in industry do not reach
their intended lifespan. As a result, many companies
forego the use of chains all together and invest
into expensive alternatives. In most cases, the
solution to short chain life is simply establishing
an adequate lubrication program.
Common chain lubrication practices consist of
applying a thick coating of heavy oil or grease to
the outside of the chain. While this does a good job
of lubricating the sprockets and the outside, it
does not protect the most vulnerable areas, such as
the contacting surfaces within the pin and bushing,
plate, roller and/or hook. Most chains fail from the
inside - they stretch or kink up due to wear and
corrosion within the pin and bushing.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL: 2059 MONOLEX Penetrating Oil
And Lubricant
Customer easily removes rusted manifold bolts with
2059 MONOLEX!
 Merritt's
Gravel Inc. is a quarry and landfill for
construction waste located in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina. The owner, Tony Merritt, uses heavy
equipment to dig and load granite that is used in
foundations, roads, driveways and golf courses. Tony
decided to rebuild his Caterpillar D-6 bulldozer due
to its age and rust in multiple places. The manifold
on the D-6 needed to be replaced, but he knew that
one or more bolts would break off as these were very
rusty and worn out. The local Lubrication Engineers
consultant recommended 2059 MONOLEX Penetrating Oil
& Lubricant be sprayed on the manifold's seized
bolts. After doing so, Tony was able to
remove them all with very little effort and without
any broken bolts. He now uses 2059 in all
applications requiring penetrating oil and has
rebuilt several other cranes since.
