Wear-control specialist, Filter Focus has launched the Royal Purple lubricant brand onto the South African market. Manufactured in the US by Calumet Specialty Products, Royal Purple offers a full range of lubricants for all industrial, commercial, automotive and consumer applications. “Royal Purple offers the highest level of protection, while reducing friction co-efficiency and associated parasitic losses. With Royal Purple lubricants, significant energy saving can be gained,” says chief operating officer, Craig FitzGerald. He adds that this US based premier lubricant brand offers the lowest total cost of ownership in terms of improved performance and output, while dramatically extending mean time between failure.
As an example of performance superiority, Royal Purple high speed lubricants have allowed the China Star bullet-train project to set a new rail speed record of 321,5 km/h. Competitor products, selected as a group of 27 of the best greases available globally, were only able to achieve speeds of up to 160 km/h before bearing failure. “Synerlec additive technology is the cornerstone of the Royal Purple product range,” FitzGerald highlights. Synerlec creates an ionic bond that adheres to metal parts to provide continuous protection, even at startup. This ionic bond retains a lubricating film on the metal surface long after ordinary lubricants succumb to pressure and heat.
In addition, Synerlec-enhanced lubricants improve metal surfaces by actually boosting the viscosity as the pressure increases. FitzGerald adds that Filter Focus has launched Royal Purple consumer lubricants locally as an on-line store with a difference. “We provide personalised, hands-on advice and service for all your lubrication needs,” he concludes.
