Mobil SHC Chain 240
Mobil SHC Chain 240 is an exceptional performance chain lubricant specifically designed for the lubrication of high-temperature conveyor chains operating at temperatures up to 290°C. The formulation provides outstanding resistance to evaporation, thermo-oxidation and coking, helping maintain effective lubrication and reliable equipment operation under severe thermal conditions.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Chain 240 is its ability to provide reliable wear protection at very high temperatures. The lubricant forms a durable lubricating film that helps protect chains, sprockets and related components from wear and surface damage. This contributes to extended chain life and reduced maintenance requirements, particularly in continuous high-temperature operations.
Mobil SHC Chain 240 also offers excellent resistance to deposit formation. The formulation minimises coking and residue build-up that can lead to chain stiffening or sticking. By reducing deposits, the lubricant helps maintain smooth chain movement and consistent conveyor operation, improving overall system reliability.
Another important benefit is its low evaporation characteristics. Mobil SHC Chain 240 is designed to provide lasting lubrication at elevated temperatures, reducing lubricant consumption compared with conventional chain oils. This helps improve lubrication efficiency and lower operating costs in high-temperature chain applications.
Mobil SHC Chain 240 is recommended for oven conveyor chains operating at temperatures up to 290°C. Typical applications include fibre glass insulation manufacture, particleboard production, plastics and textiles processing and paint oven operations. The product is suitable for high-temperature chain lubrication where excellent wear protection and resistance to thermal degradation are required.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 245 mm²/s at 40°C and 19 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC Chain 240 has a viscosity index of approximately 86, a flash point of approximately 290°C and a pour point of approximately −24°C. The product also provides excellent wear performance with a four-ball wear scar of approximately 0.4 mm and strong resistance to evaporation, supporting reliable high-temperature chain lubrication.
