MX series

Family: Synergistic Lubricants
Application: Additives for greases and polymers

MX Series are a high-quality, ultra-fine graded mixture of synthetic metal sulfides, specifically designed as an extreme pressure additive for use in pastes and greases within heavy-duty applications. Its exceptional quality lies in its ability to substantially enhance wear resistance, particularly when subjected to high temperatures and heavy loads, making it an excellent choice for demanding industrial needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MX series and what is its value proposition?

The MX series represents the pinnacle of our grease additive technology. It is a product line based on synergistic compounds designed to deliver maximum performance in Extreme Pressure (EP) and Anti-Wear (AW). Its value proposition is to provide a level of protection far superior to that of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2​) and other traditional solid lubricants for the most critical applications.

When should a formulator choose the MX series over the MS series or MoS2?

The MX series is the indicated choice when performance and reliability are the top priority, above formulation cost. It is recommended for:

  • Extreme Shock Load Applications: Such as in mining, construction, or steel mill equipment, where protection against catastrophic welding is essential.
  • Critical Operations: To lubricate key components whose failure would result in high costs of downtime or replacement.
  • Premium Formulations: To create a line of high-performance greases that clearly stands out in the market for its load-carrying capacity and protection.

What performance data demonstrates the superiority of the MX series?

In Four-Ball tests, the MX series (specifically MX20) shows a drastic improvement in EP performance and metal compatibility:

  • Weld Point (EP): Reaches 3922 N, a 60% higher load-carrying capacity than the 2452 N of $MoS_2$.
  • Copper Corrosion (ASTM D4048): Offers an excellent result of 1b, ensuring the protection of yellow metal components (bronze, brass), unlike $MoS_2$ which can be more corrosive (typical result 3a).
  • Wear Scar (AW): Shows a slight improvement, with 66 mm compared to 0.70 mm for $MoS_2$.

What is the recommended treat rate for the MX series?

To unlock its full performance potential, we recommend a treat rate in the range of 3% to 5% by weight of the finished grease. This concentration ensures the formation of a robust lubricating film capable of withstanding the most severe conditions.

Is the MX series compatible with any type of grease?

Yes. Despite its advanced formulation, the MX series is designed as a package of chemically inert solid additives. This ensures full compatibility with all common thickener types (Lithium Complex, Calcium Sulfonate, Polyurea, etc.) and base oils (mineral and synthetic), allowing for its easy integration to enhance existing formulations or develop new premium products.
