With a global shift towards sustain- ability and environmental consciousness the manufacturing, mining and marine market segments are increasingly seeking greener alternatives. Significant developments have been made through innovation in turning to green

solutions. The tough economic climate has not dampened the efforts of those manufacturers determined to make a difference in creating sustainability. Spanjaard is one such manufacturer, having taken note of and responded to the market with the development of its Enviro Gear Lubricant (EGL 1280), specifically formulated with the environment at the forefront for use in manufacturing, mining and marine environments.

EGL 1280 can provide savings in electricity costs over traditional asphaltic lubricants, due to improved lubricant properties and a reduction in heat build-up. The major win however is when compared to conventional asphaltic based open gear lubricants, EGL 1280 is much kinder to the environment. Waste grease is

non-hazardous and can be disposed of in the same way as any other non-hazardous lubricant. Compared to other Synthetic Open Ger Lubricants on the market, users can expect to reduce their lubricant costs significantly, which translates into a considerable saving on lubrication/maintenance costs. In the event of unintentional/accidental release into water sources, EGL 1280 will not harm aquatic life. The diluent used is also environmentally friendly having an extremely low global warming potential and a low ozone depleting potential. This specialised product is bitumen and lead free, protects against corrosion and is an environmentally acceptable alternative with low water hazard base fluids.
