OPG Cardium Compounds are available in 2 viscosity grades of heavy oil and a semisolid at normal ambient temperatures. OPG Cardium Compound 395 is a residual bituminous compounded lubricant, while OPG Cardium 375 is a residual compounded oils diluted with a high flash solvent to allow for easier application. They are suitable for the lubrication of wire ropes, chains, flexible couplings, gears and sliding surfaces of drag lines and shovels, and open gears of mine hoists, ball mills, rubber mixers, cement mills, clay products industries, construction equipment, dredging equipment, as well as other applications where a heavy, adhesive oil is required
OPG Cardium Compounds 395 was developed specifically to provide enhanced retention on bearing surfaces where the lubricant must withstand washing action. This product also meets the performance requirements of industrial applications. OPG Cardium Compound 375 was developed to provide the benefit of heavy oil lubricants, but with easier application characteristics. It is viscous materials thinned by a high flash point, chlorine-free solvent to permit application by brushing, swabbing, dipping, spraying, drip cup or spout type can. The high-flash solvent evaporates after application, leaving a very viscous, tenacious oil film. This solvent is not considered be flammable. However, caution should be exercised when considering these products for applications exposed to open flame or spark sources (kilns, etc).
