WHAT IS ULTIMA EX3?

Exposed or open gear applications are a headache for equipment operators in many
industries. Why? It’s all in the name. When you are lubricating open surfaces there
is the obvious exposure to the elements, which can reduce grease performance and increase consumption and re-lubrication rates. In addition, most open gear applications are heavily loaded and inherently push grease from open gear teeth or plated applications where grease is virtually shoveled by extreme pressures. With Ultima EX3, you have the ability to apply a grease that was derived from an award-winning formula and modified specifically for issues found in exposed/open gear applications. Try to wash or pound EX3 from an application and you’ll see the power of the adhesive monster.

ECONOMICAL

ULTIMA EX3 doesn’t “pressure out” at the point of the gear face where pressure is the greatest. Frequent re-lubrication with ULTIMA EX3 is not necessary because it sticks to the face of the gears and sticks to itself. Use ULTIMA EX3 to protect your equipment against dust, moisture, and the ravages of wear.

TWO WEIGHTS

ULTIMA EX3 is available in two weights to handle a wide variety of applications. ULTIMA EX3 summer weight is approximately the consistency of an NLGI #0 weight grease. It provides an immediate heavy gear tooth lubricant film at the instant application is made. ULTIMA EX3 winter weight is the same product with some solvent added which gives it the consistency of approximately NLGI #00 weight grease. Within a short period of time after application of winter weight, the solvent evaporates leaving behind a pliable and “tacky” gear tooth lubricating film.

DUST RESISTANT

ULTIMA EX3 forms a heavy cushion on the gear face leaving a film of lubricant to shield the gear surfaces. Another requirement for thorough protection of outside gears is for the lubricant to be resistant to dust contamination. Unconventional thickening agents, different types of cushioning agents, and tackiness agents are combined to keep ULTIMA EX3 on the job — instead of squeezing out. Because of this elastic recoverability, ULTIMA EX3 resists accumulating as a mess on the edge of the outside gears. Pressure, created by meshing of gears, tends to force OPEN GEAR LUBE to the edges; but the cohesive ability of this outstanding material helps to pull it back into the center of the gear face, assuring a constant film of lubricant protection against dust.

VERSATILE

ULTIMA EX3’s two weights allow for it’s use in various applications. ULTIMA EX3, in its two weights, is an excellent lubricant for outside gears but it also has several other applications. For instance, both weights are used to lubricate dipper sticks, racks, slides, and fifth wheels.
