KETJENLUBE® 2700

GENERAL INFORMATION
Description:
Ketjenlube 2700 is a high viscosity polymeric ester of low polarity. It is an almost colourless viscous liquid.

Applications:
Ketjenlube 2700 is used as an anti-wear additive and shear-stable viscosity booster in applications such as:
 Gear oils (automotive; industrial)
 Metal working fluids (hot and cold drawing, rolling oils)
 Chain lubricants (esp. for high temperature applications)
 Greases
 Automotive engine oils.
For detailed performance examples please refer to the Italmatch Lubricants & Specialty Chemicals brochure or to special data-sheets available
for these applications.
