FOX-OIL ANHYDROUS CALCIUM
Anhydrous Calcium is a modern, anhydrous, calcium-based thickener
that naturally delivers excellent surface adhesion and
water-resistant properties making it particularly well
suited to applications that are more exposed to the
elements and the environment.
Unlike older, hydrated calcium thickeners, this
technology benefits from enhanced low temperature
mobility, enhanced thermal stability and improved
shear stability making it ideally suited to applications
and segments where there is the increased potential for
water ingress and exposure to the elements including
marine, agriculture, forestry and rail.
The nature of many applications within these particular
segments also increase the potential for lubricant loss
to the environment, so it's reassuring to know that this
technology is also approved for use as a platform
upon which Environmentally Sensitive greases can be
formulated.
