Klüberplus SK 02-295 is a lubricating wax based on a combination of high-molecular synthetic hydrocarbons. It offers good protection against friction, wear, tribocorrosion and rust. It prevents stick slip and ensures good lubricity particularly in the boundary and mixed friction regimes, i.e. in cases of minor sliding movements or speeds and specifically high loads. The lubricating effect is also excellent between friction components made of different materials, especially aluminium alloys. Tests carried out with the Tannert sliding indicator have confirmed the good lubricating properties of Klüberplus SK 02-295. Almost all friction coefficients were clearly below 0.1 and no stick slip movement occurred.
An essential property is that the consistent wax becomes liquid with increasing temperatures – between 45 °C and 75°C – and still offers good adhesion properties. In tests with a horizontal plate (steel ST 14) Klüberplus SK 02-295 did not run off when the plate was heated to 100 °C. Prior to testing, when the plate was still cold, approx. 6 g/m2 of Klüberplus SK 02-295 were applied. The texture is reversible. When cooling down, Klüberplus SK 02-295 becomes consistent again as soon as the temperature is below the softening range (45–75 °C). In its consistent texture the lubricating wax is extremely resistant to low temperatures and stable.
Klüberplus SK 02-295 is very resistant to oxidation. It can be applied where incidental, technically unavoidable contact with food products may occur. Klüberplus SK 02-295 is generally recognized as safe, non-toxic and non-hazardous to the environment. It is classified in water hazard category 1 (not hazardous).
In addition, Klüberplus SK 02-295 offers very good protection against corrosion. During tests in a condensation water-alternating climate (DIN 50 017 KFW) a corrosion rating of 0 was achieved after 30 cycles (720 h). This is equivalent to the performance of highquality corrosion inhibitors. Consequently, Klüberplus SK 02-295 is substantially more efficient than e.g. hydraulic oils.
Klüberplus SK 02-295 is NSF H1 registered and therefore complies with FDA 21 CFR § 178.3570. The lubricant was developed for incidental contact with products and packaging materials in the food-processing, cosmetics, pharmaceutical or animal feed industries. The use of Klüberplus SK 02-295 can contribute to increase reliability of your production processes. We nevertheless recommend conducting an additional risk analysis, e.g. HACCP.
