Action Can CD-90 Chain and Drive Lubricant

Action Can CD-90 is a specialised chain and drive lubricant engineered for all chain types and drive mechanisms. Upon application, the lubricant penetrates chain linkage before thickening to a tenacious protective film with excellent adherence and extreme-pressure properties. Extreme-temperature stability (-15°C to +150°C) and anti-corrosion additives provide comprehensive protection in harsh industrial environments.

Key Features

  • Extreme Pressure Additives — EP chemistry provides robust wear protection on high-load chains and drives experiencing shock loads and extreme operating pressures.
  • Penetrating Linkage Action — Initial low-viscosity penetration into chain linkage ensures complete joint coverage; subsequent thickening creates protective film without gaps.
  • Tenacious Film Adhesion — Strong adherence maintains protective coating through high-speed operation without sling-off that would waste product and leave chains unprotected.
  • Extreme Temperature Stability — Effective across -15°C to +150°C range, maintaining lubricating properties in arctic conditions and high-temperature industrial environments.
  • Anti-Corrosion Protection — Additives enhance protection against moisture and oxidation, extending chain life in damp or coastal environments.

Description

Chain Lubrication Requirements for Industrial Reliability

Industrial chains—packaging machinery, forklift trucks, escalators, cement plant, papermaking—operate under high loads, shock impacts, and variable temperatures. Inadequate lubrication accelerates wear, causes downtime, and creates safety hazards. Chain and drive systems represent critical equipment where lubrication failures have cascading consequences throughout operations. CD-90's formulation addresses these demanding requirements through chemistry engineered for industrial chain protection.

Penetration-to-Thickening Dual-Phase Lubrication

Standard thick lubricants struggle to penetrate chain linkage completely—high viscosity prevents reaching tight joints, leaving some areas under-lubricated. CD-90's initial low-viscosity penetration phase reaches all linkage areas; subsequent thickening creates protective film that won't be displaced by chain motion. This two-phase approach ensures complete coverage without labour-intensive pre-application cleaning.

Extreme-Pressure Additives for Shock Load Protection

Industrial chains experience shock loads from sudden torque changes, impact loads, and variable force transmission. These shock moments create localised extreme pressures at bearing points. EP additives chemically bond to metal surfaces under extreme pressure, creating anti-wear films that prevent metal-to-metal contact during peak load events. This EP protection is essential for chains experiencing intermittent shock rather than consistent load.

Anti-Fling Adhesion for Operational Efficiency

High-speed chains fling lubricant off through centrifugal force—excess lubrication is wasted, creating mess and leaving chains under-lubricated. CD-90's strong adhesion maintains film thickness through high-speed operation without excessive sling-off. This efficiency reduces product consumption and maintains consistent lubrication throughout operating cycles.

Extreme Temperature Performance Across Industrial Applications

Industrial environments present temperature extremes—outdoor machinery exposed to arctic conditions, equipment operating adjacent to heat sources, processes generating operational heat. Traditional lubricants thicken in cold, thin in heat, degrading performance at extremes. CD-90's formulation maintains viscosity and protective properties across -15°C to +150°C range, delivering consistent performance regardless of ambient or operational temperature.

Corrosion Protection Through Harsh Environmental Exposure

Moisture, salt spray, and chemical exposure create rapid corrosion on unprotected chains. CD-90's anti-corrosion additives provide secondary protection—if the primary lubricant film is temporarily displaced, remaining residue protects against immediate oxidation and corrosion. This secondary protection is valuable in damp or coastal industrial environments.

Application Versatility Across Chain Types

Different industries employ diverse chain types—roller chains, leaf chains, block chains, conveyor chains. CD-90 is engineered for versatility across all types, eliminating the need for specialised lubricants for specific chains. This universality simplifies inventory and training across diverse industrial applications.

Application Instructions

Shake the container well before spraying. Mix the lubricant thoroughly to ensure uniform formulation distribution, particularly for settled or aged product.

Stop the machinery and remove power. Never apply lubricant to moving chains—always de-energise and lock out equipment to prevent injury.

Allow chain to cool slightly if recently operated. Hot chains evaporate lubricant too rapidly; allow brief cooling (typically 5–10 minutes) for optimal penetration and film formation.

Apply from 10–15 cm distance. Hold the aerosol spray can upright, maintaining distance of 10–15 cm from the chain surface.

Direct spray along the entire chain length. Systematically spray the complete chain circumference and linkage, ensuring all areas receive coverage.

Focus on chain rollers and side plates. Ensure adequate coverage of rollers, pins, and side plates where wear and friction occur.

Allow penetration time before operation. Let the lubricant penetrate into linkage and thicken (typically 5–10 minutes) before restarting machinery.

Wipe away excess product. Using a clean cloth, wipe away any excess lubricant that would otherwise sling off during operation.

Restart machinery gradually. After allowing penetration time, restart equipment at low speed initially, progressively increasing to normal operating speed.

Monitor the chain during initial operation. Watch for proper lubrication film and absence of dry spots during the first few operating cycles.

Reapply as needed based on operating conditions. Frequency depends on chain speed, load, temperature, and environment—typical intervals are weekly to monthly for industrial use.

Inspect chain during routine maintenance. During maintenance inspections, check lubrication film integrity; reapply if film is worn or degraded.

FAQs

Can CD-90 be applied to moving chains, or must I stop machinery before application?

Always stop machinery and de-energise equipment before applying CD-90. Never apply lubricant to moving chains—safety hazard and application ineffectiveness. Allow machinery to cool slightly (5–10 minutes) if recently operated for optimal penetration. Allow 5–10 minutes penetration time after application before restarting at low speed.

How often should I reapply CD-90 to industrial chains, and what indicates need for reapplication?

Reapplication frequency depends on chain speed, load, temperature, and environment. Typical intervals range from weekly in heavy-duty applications to monthly in moderate use. Monitor lubrication film during routine maintenance inspections—reapply when the protective film wears away or dry spots appear on chain surfaces.

Can CD-90 be used on specialised chains like conveyor or leaf chains, or only standard roller chains?

CD-90 is engineered for all chain types including roller chains, leaf chains, block chains, and conveyor chains. The universal formulation eliminates the need for specialised lubricants for different chain types. However, if using on unusual or specialty chains, verify compatibility through testing before full-scale application.

What temperature range can CD-90 handle, and how does it perform in extreme heat or cold?

CD-90 maintains protective and lubricating properties across -15°C to +150°C operational range. This extreme-temperature stability is a key benefit—many standard lubricants fail at temperature extremes. Whether operating in arctic conditions or high-temperature industrial environments, CD-90 delivers consistent performance without viscosity changes that would compromise lubrication.
