Dynagard™ Blue Premium
Approved as Type I under Naval Sea Systems Command 2023 Qualified Products List (QPL) to meet the new specification MIL-PRF-18458D. This replaces MIL-PRF-18458C
Dynagard™ Blue Premium is a biodegradable, minimally toxic, co-thickened complex grease formulated to provide superior film strength, withstand high operating temperatures, and maintain excellent high and low temperature stability. Dynagard™ Blue Premium features a high viscosity base oil for high load carrying capability, excellent anti-wear performance, and enhanced water washout and spray-off protection. Dynagard™ Blue Premium is designed for heavy-duty use in a variety of industrial, mobile, and marine applications.
Dynagard™ Blue Premium is compatible with all Kirkpatrick Wire Rope Lubrication Systems in addition to manual hand application. Dynagard™ proprietary blend of base fluids and additives ensures superior lubrication and corrosion protection of the wire rope as the strands move during load bearing operations. Uniquely self-healing, this attribute ensures outstanding penetration and continuous redistribute throughout the internal strand areas that may have been missed during the initial lubrication process or squeezed out from the strands during operation. Dynagard™ Blue Premium has outstanding structural and chemical stability. It won’t corrode steel and copper bearing alloys and is compatible with conventional seal materials.
Bio Aquatic Toxicity tests on sensitive marine organisms performed by independent test laboratories have shown Dynagard™ Blue Premium to have minimal impact on the environment and aquatic sea life, making it one of the safest wire rope lubricants in the world.
