ROYAL PURPLE® Industrial ADVANTAGE
ROYAL PURPLE® Industrial SYNTHETIC OIL & LUBRICANTS
Synerlec® additive technology makes Royal Purple® Industrial products unique—and it’s a big reason why our products perform like no other lubricants on the market. This man-made additive improves our products on a molecular level, by creating high-strength ionic bonds with metallic surfaces that allow our engine oils and other lubricants to react to sustained heat and pressure, not by breaking down like regular oil, but with increased film strength and lubricity. With extended use, Royal Purple Industrial synthetic lubricants with Synerlec improve the surface condition of metallic surfaces by smoothing inherent surface roughness, actually reducing friction and improving lubrication of internal moving parts. That’s why we put it in every Royal Purple Industrial lubricant we can.
Other Important Advantages
In addition to their superior ability to fully separate and lubricate metal surfaces, Royal Purple Industrial’s lubricants offer these additional advantages:
- Longer Oil Life: Royal Purple Industrial’s oils formulated with Synerlec® additive technology last considerably longer than other mineral and synthetic oils. Synerlec® additive technology protects against oil oxidation, which causes oils to break down, to thicken and to form corrosive acids, sludge, varnish or lacquer deposits in equipment. This greatly increases oil life, reducing the amount of oil purchased and disposed of. Equipment will remain cleaner and will have longer life.
- Excellent Corrosion Protection: Synerlec® additive technology provides superior protection against rust and corrosion in both salt and freshwater environments. Royal Purple’s Synerlec® additive technology ionically bonds with all metal surfaces displacing moisture. Synerlec®’s tough film strength protects during operation, acts as a preservative oil during shutdown and provides instant lubrication upon startup until a full fluid oil film is established.
- Rapidly Separates from Water: Water in oil means death to bearings. Many oils form milky oil-water emulsions, which greatly shortens the life of both the oil and the equipment it lubricates. Royal Purple Industrial’s synthetic lubricants rapidly and completely separate from water, allowing water to easily be drained from the bottom of the oil reservoir.
- Additional Additive Technologies: In addition to Synerlec additive technology, Royal Purple Industrial formulates lubricants using the following three additional additive technologies:
- Synslide™ additive technology — This exclusive additive technology offers all of the performance advantages of Synerlec additive technology plus superior protection against boundary lubrication (lubrication between two rubbing surfaces without development of a full-fluid lubricating film) conditions typically caused by heavy loads, shock loads and slow operating speeds. Royal Purple’s noncorrosive, extreme pressure (EP) gear oils and greases contain Synslide additive technology.
- DynaGlyde™ additive technology — Royal Purple’s high film strength, noncorrosive DynaGlyde additive technology contains special anti-wear additives, oiliness properties and cushioning molecules to provide the lubricity necessary to excel in worm gear lubrication
- Purolec™ additive technology — Royal Purple Industrial’s NSF Certified oils for H1 service for use in pharmaceutical and food service plants contain Purolec additive technology. This proprietary, stable, anti-wear additive technology reduces wear yet still meets the FDA’s CFR Title 21 Section 178.3620(b) purity regulation.
- Saves Energy: Energy costs constitute the single largest expense of operating rotating equipment. The typical energy costs for rotating equipment are 20 to 25 times greater than direct maintenance costs. Royal Purple Industrial’s premium, synthetic lubricants with Synerlec® and Synslide additive technologies have extremely low coefficients of friction and are proven to save energy over other mineral and synthetic oils in rotating equipment. In fact, Royal Purple Industrial’s lubricants frequently produce energy savings from 1 to 3 percent or more. In most instances, these savings exceed the total cost of the oil within several months, turning what was once an oil expense into a profit. Total elimination of lubrication expenses would not produce significant cost savings from the total operating costs of the rotating equipment. However, significant savings can be achieved through small percentage reductions in the large expense items — energy and maintenance costs. See example below.
Summary of Customer Benefits
- High Film Strength: Royal Purple’s lubricants are considerably stronger than other synthetic oils.
- Longer Oil Life: Royal Purple’s lubricants last significantly longer than other synthetic oils.
- Outstanding Corrosion Protection: Royal Purple’s lubricants provide greater protection than traditional circulating and EP oils.
