MONOLEC
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT
The Specialized Lubricant for Centralized Lubrication Systems
LE’
MONOLEC® Industrial Lubricants are designed especially for centralized lubrication systems. They contain
MONOLEC®, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive and highly effective extreme pressure additives which meet the
most stringent requirements of equipment manufacturers and users. Unlike many lubricants used in centralized
lubrication systems, MONOLEC® Industrial Lubricant was designed for use in these systems. MONOLEC®
Industrial Lubricants are waterproof and will not form permanent emulsions where moisture is present. They
contain special rust preventative additives.
A centralized lubrication system is an indirect lubrication system in which a pump feeds the lubricant from a
reservoir through supply lines to valves that inject a measured amount of lubricant into each bearing. Centralized
systems vary from relatively simple to extremely complex designs. Since centralized systems are used in many
different types of equipment, and in all types of industry, almost every conceivable operating condition will be
encountered. MONOLEC® Industrial Lubricants provide superior lubrication under the most demanding conditions.

USER BENEFITS: Excellent Heat Reversion Properties – Not only

• LONGER EQUIPMENT LIFE do MONOLEC® Industrial Lubricants have high
Reduced Wear – MONOLEC®, LE’s exclusive oxidation resistance, but they maintain their
wear-reducing agent, plus other antiwear and EP consistency after being repeatedly heated and
additives, provide exceptional film strength and cooled.

Complete, Reliable, Effective Lubrication – These are achieved through reduced wear,
Designed for centralized systems to reach complete and effective lubrication and excellent
components to be lubricated. Easily pumpable heat reversion characteristics of MONOLEC®
down to -40°F. (-40°C.) with excellent mechanical Industrial Lubricants. This means less downtime
stability. Unaffected by central or conventional and fewer repairs. Grease does not harden on
dispensing systems. Low separation or “bleed” in aging, or oxidize, so it is easily pushed out by fresh
centralized lube systems even under heavy leads grease. Reduces downtime and labor because of
and high temperatures. smooth, cool performance.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: WHAT IS MONOLEC?

MONOLEC® is LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive
Centralized/Automatic Lubrication Systems
which has proven its extraordinary performance in
High Speed Bearings thousands of applications. It is an invaluable component

DEMONSTRATE SUPERIORITY IN TIMKEN OK LOAD TESTING
AND U.S. STEEL S-75 GREASE MOBILITY TEST

©LUBRICATION ENGINEERS , INC.

Two important characteristics of NLGI 1, 0, and 00 grease are their low temperature pumpability and load carrying
capacity. Of the lubricants tested, only 4700, 4701, and 4702 showed superior characteristics in BOTH tests. The
U.S. Steel S-75 test is designed to demonstrate the low temperature pumpability characteristics of a lubricant as
would be seen in a central lube system. Higher flow rates indicate better low temperature pumpability. The Timken
OK test (ASTM D-2059) measures the load carrying capability of a lubricant, an important consideration in selecting a
lubricant for a heavily loaded bearing.
