Klübersynth BZ 44-4000 is a novel anticorrosion fluid based on a synthetic hydrocarbon oil with added lithium soap. Klübersynth BZ 44-4000 was developed as a supplementary product optimising the effect of greases in rolling bearings performing frequent oscillating and/or rotating movements.
The innovative formulation of this product offers a unique double benefit: As a preservation fluid, Klübersynth BZ 44-4000 protects steel bearings against corrosion during storage. Furthermore, the additives it contains enhance the performance of the greases applied when the bearing is in use. Internal tests showed that in rolling bearings to which Klübersynth BZ 44-4000 had been applied grease lives were attained that were three times longer than those reached in untreated components. Fretting wear tests confirmed the product's preventive effect against False Brinelling damage.
