ThixO SYN Aviation Grease: A high performance synthetic extreme temperature grease using overbased calcium sulphonate thickener and advanced lubricant chemistry. Specifically designed for aviation applications.
ThixO SYN Aviation Grease is a specialty lubricant designed for specific aviation applications including helicopter rotor shafts, splines and hub assemblies for the Bell 206A, 206B and 206 L Models.
Combining the unique properties of PAO synthetic base oil, advanced EP/AW chemistry with the unique properties of an overbased calcium sulphonate thickener. The low oil separation rate of ThixO SYN Aviation Grease facilitates the use of a high index low viscosity base oil over traditional grease formulations reducing starting and running torque. Advanced EP/AW chemistry provides superior high load and extreme pressure protection to over 1.4 GPa without the use of solid lubricants such as molybdenum compounds. This unique chemistry provides excellent low temperature pumpability and superior stability at high temperatures and has a dropping point >300 C. ThixO SYN Aviation Grease's multipurpose use reduces friction and lubricates rolling element bearings under high speed conditions and superior performance in heavily loaded sliding mechanisms. Consistency is an NLGI #2 grade
ThixO SYN Aviation Grease is for use in aviation applications as specified by the manufacturer. Follow all maintenance requirements as designated. Avoid contamination of ThixO SYN Aviation Grease with other grease types.
ThixO SYN Aviation Grease provides excellent performance in high and low speed bearings, precision bearings, in wet and corrosive environments, and at extreme high and low temperatures. Base oil does not separate (less than 0.2% loss following ASTM D1742). Performance specifications are superior to most conventional lithium or polyurea based market greases.
ThixO SYN Aviation Grease is compatible with Aluminum Complex, Barium Complex, Calcium Stearate, Calcium 12-Hydroxy, Lithium Stearate, Lithium 12-Hydroxy, Lithium Complex and some Polyurea thickening agents. ThixO SYN Aviation grease is also compatible with Mobilgrease 28 aviation grease and AeroShell Greases which contains a PAO base oil and clay or microgel thickeners.
In the compatibility reports Aeriol ThixO SYN Aviation Grease is referred to as ThixO SYN MARYN Aviation Grease. ThixO SYN Aviation Grease is not compatible with Calcium Complex, Clay and some Polyurea thickening agents. (If uncertain about a specific polyurea agent, compatibility testing should be performed.
