Duolec® dual-action additive technology enhances LE lubricants with powerful, synergistic properties, offering both anti-wear (AW) and extreme pressure (EP) protection ideal for Philippine industries. Engineered with advanced technology for LE Lubrication Engineers' gear oils, Duolec strengthens the oil film and is activated by temperature changes to form a resilient, protective layer. This layer smooths metal surfaces, reduces friction, and minimizes wear from contact, helping to extend equipment life and ensure reliable performance in challenging conditions
Under typical operating conditions, metal surfaces are kept apart by a lubricant film, known as hydrodynamic lubrication. However, increased load or reduced speed can thin this film, leading to metal-on-metal contact and higher temperatures from friction. This heat causes the lubricant to lose viscosity, weakening its film strength and its ability to prevent direct contact. When this occurs, lubrication shifts from hydrodynamic to elasto-hydro-dynamic (EHD), to mixed film, and eventually to boundary lubrication.
Duolec® is designed to maintain effective protection across all these conditions. As temperatures rise, Duolec activates in stages, offering dual anti-wear (AW) and extreme pressure (EP) protection. In EHD and mixed film conditions, its AW properties come into play, while the EP capabilities are activated under higher loads. Integrated into LE gear oils, Duolec responds instantly to shifting conditions, providing robust protection. Test results show Duolec's impressive ability to reduce friction and wear, making it an ideal choice for Philippine industries.
Exclusively available in LE Lubricants, Duolec additive technology provides Philippine industries with reliable protection for gearboxes, extending lubricant life, reducing the need for part replacements, and minimizing downtime. Trusted by customers worldwide, Duolec helps ensure smoother operations and cost savings.
