Chevron TEXCLAD® 2 Greases
NLGI 2 Black Open Gear Grease with Molybdenum Disulfide & Graphite
Chevron TEXCLAD 2 is a calcium-based, tacky open gear grease formulated with molybdenum disulfide and graphite to provide long-lasting protection under heavy loads and slow-moving, high-pressure conditions. These solid lubricants form a durable protective film that reduces metal-to-metal contact, minimizes wear, and protects surfaces exposed to shock loading and extreme pressure.
Engineered for harsh environments, TEXCLAD 2 delivers excellent adhesion and water resistance, helping it stay in place even when exposed to moisture, washdown conditions, or contamination. Its tenacious film strength makes it well suited for open gears, chains, and heavily loaded sliding surfaces where conventional greases may sling off or fail.
Key Benefits
- Outstanding load protection from moly and graphite solid lubricants
- Excellent adhesion helps the grease stay in place on open gear surfaces
- Superior water resistance resists washout and contamination
- Reduced wear and friction under shock loading and slow speeds
- Durable protective film extends component service life
Recommended Applications
Chevron TEXCLAD 2 is designed for heavily loaded, slow-speed, and exposed lubrication points, including:
- Open gears in mining, construction, and industrial equipment
- Ball mill gears and large gear drives
- Traveling water screens and marine equipment
- Chains, sprockets, and sliding surfaces
- Forklifts and heavy material handling equipment
- Fifth wheel plates for tractor-trailer applications
Always consult equipment manufacturer recommendations for proper lubricant selection.
Why Choose TEXCLAD 2 for Open Gear Protection
Open gear systems and exposed components operate under high loads and contamination risk. TEXCLAD 2 provides a tenacious, protective film that stays in place, reduces wear, and protects critical surfaces in wet, dirty, and demanding operating environments.
Typical Use Characteristics
- NLGI Grade: 2
