These lubricants, ordinarily liquid, under extreme pressures in the contact zone, form glossy solid films that keep surfaces with potential metal-to-metal contact apart while providing high torque.
SantoTrac® provides thick lubricant films even at low viscosity for excellent protection relative to other lubricant types. This results in increased speeds, enhanced power output, wear prevention, and extended useful life of the equipment. Traction is measured by the coefficient of traction, which is the ratio of transmitted force to contact force. The coefficient of traction for SantoTrac fluids at 40℃ and 5-10% slide-to-roll ratio is in excess of 0.1 with a limited decrease at higher temperatures. While these lubricants are fluids of choice for many applications involving elastohydrodynamic lubrication, such as gear systems, ball and roller bearings, rolling assemblies, and belt drives, they are especially useful in extending the life of the industrial gear-less planetroll type systems and are also the choice lubricants for the new generation automotive transmission systems, where CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) are used. Unlike other lubricants that employ traction-inducing additives, our traction lubricants are derived from synthetic hydrocarbon base fluids with inherent traction properties – and therefore, maintain their effectiveness during extended use.
SantoTrac lubricants are produced in a range of viscosity grades, wide enough to enable the user to select the most suitable viscosity for particular operating conditions and applications. All grades offer stability at high temperatures, high shear resistance, a high coefficient of traction, and good lubricating performance. Some of our standard products include the following.
SantoTrac 100J is a medium viscosity synthetic traction fluid. It possesses a high coefficient of traction and a proprietary additive package that provides excellent antiwear and high temperature properties.
SantoTrac 150J is a high viscosity synthetic traction fluid. It possesses a high coefficient of traction and a proprietary additive package that provides excellent antiwear and high temperature properties.
SantoTrac 220J is a high viscosity synthetic traction fluid. It possesses a high coefficient of traction and a proprietary additive package that provides excellent antiwear and high temperature properties.
SantoTrac 238 is a low viscosity synthetic traction fluid. It possesses a high coefficient of traction and a proprietary additive package that provides excellent antiwear and high temperature properties.
SantoTrac 2000 is a low viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon fluid with an inherently high coefficient of traction making it an excellent base oil for traction fluid formulations.
SantoTrac 32 Lubricating Fluid is a low-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon-based traction fluid that is specially designed for applications where low to medium film strength is desired. This product has a high coefficient of traction and is fortified with a proprietary additive system to enhance its antiwear and extreme load-carrying and high temperature properties. This product is especially useful in operating environments that require enhanced oxidation stability and increased protection against rust and corrosion.
SantoTrac 50 Traction Fluid is a low-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon-based traction fluid that is specially designed for applications where low to medium film strength is desired. This product has a high coefficient of traction and is fortified with a proprietary additive system to enhance its antiwear and extreme load-carrying and high temperature properties. This fluid is approved for use in and around food manufacturing machinery where there is no chance of food contamination.
SantoTrac 70 Traction Fluid is a medium-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon-based traction fluid that is specially designed for applications where medium to high film strength is desired. This product has a high coefficient of traction and is fortified with a proprietary additive system to enhance its antiwear and extreme load-carrying and high temperature properties.
SantoTrac 332-FG Traction Fluid is a low-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon-based traction fluid specially designed for high-speed operations where low to medium film strength is desired. This product has a high coefficient of traction and is fortified with a proprietary additive system to enhance its antiwear and extreme load-carrying and high temperature properties. This product is especially useful in operating environments that require enhanced oxidation stability and increased protection against rust and corrosion. SantoTrac 332-FG carries H1 credentials and is therefore acceptable as a lubricant with incidental food contact for use in and around food processing areas.
