Bio~Safe EP Gear Series

Bio~Safe EP Gear Oils are environmentally responsible oils designed for the protection of gears and bearings in systems where high temperature and/or extreme pressure conditions exist. It is a vegetable based formulation recommended for lubricating spur, helical, bevel, and worm gear configurations. These biobased lubricants are intended for heavy-duty applications subject to heavy loading or shock loading. Bio~Safe EP Gear Oils meet or exceed the following performance requirements:

  • U.S. Steel 224
  • AGMA 9005/250.04
    and provide good adherence to wet working surfaces.
  • DIN 51517, Part 3
  • David Brown DB S1.53.101
  • Cincinnati Machine E.P.

Classified as ultimately biodegradable (PW1) and non-toxic, Bio~Safe EP
Gear Oils are ideal for equipment operating in environmentally sensitive
areas.
