TL;DR: Prioritize Spanjaard Open Gear Spray for industrial machinery operating across Malaysia’s humid, high-load environments
The aerosol spray delivers a black, adhesive film layer to open gears and wire ropes.
It provides boundary lubrication using a formula that contains molybdenum disulfide, other solid lubricants, and extreme pressure additives.
The lubricant clings stubbornly to vertical and fast-moving surfaces to eliminate fling-off.
The formula incorporates corrosion inhibitors that block moisture and water from contacting metal surfaces.
The product penetrates deep into the inner core of wire ropes to coat individual wire strands.
It lowers the starting torque requirements for machinery operating under low-temperature conditions.
Colour: Black
Density: 1.15 ml
Consistency: NLGI 2 Grade (after the propellant evaporates)
Worked Penetration: 275 (1/10mm at 25°C without propellant)
Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 160°C
Packaging Size: 350ml aerosol can
Flammability: Extremely flammable aerosol (75% of contents by mass are flammable)
Manufacturing Standards: Produced by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer
Suitable for lubricating open spur, helical, and worm-drive gears subjected to high load conditions.
Used on moving wire ropes, crane cables, winches, and hoist strands.
Applicable to slow-moving plain bearings, slides, and mechanical linkages.
Ideal for components located in hard-to-reach areas where manual grease brushing is restricted or hazardous.
Do not apply to high-speed precision ball bearings or internal combustion engine crankcases.
Do not use on friction-based braking systems, clutches, or drive belts where slippage must be prevented.
The solid molybdenum disulfide particles remain trapped between mating gear teeth, sustaining a physical boundary layer that carries extreme pressures even if the base liquid is squeezed out.
High-tack chemical additives increase the cohesive strength of the fluid, preventing centrifugal forces from throwing the grease off high-speed rotating open gears.
Low surface tension allows the wet fluid to capillary into tight clearances and wire rope cores before the propellant gas fully evaporates.
Capillary action is paired with specialized corrosion inhibitors that isolate iron molecules from atmospheric moisture, preventing chemical oxidation and rust in humid environments.
Suitable for: Maintenance engineers, port crane operators, quarry technicians, and plant mechanics who service heavy machinery, exposed gear drives, and winches.
Suitable for: Facilities requiring an efficient, tool-free application method for lubrication points located in narrow or elevated spaces.
Not Suitable for: Food processing environments requiring NSF H1 food-grade registered lubricants, as this product contains black solid lubricants.
Not Suitable for: Precision instrument technicians or workshops lacking adequate ventilation.
Clean the target gear or wire rope surface to remove old, contaminated grease, dirt, and abrasive grit.
Shake the aerosol can thoroughly before application to ensure uniform distribution of the solid lubricants.
Hold the aerosol can upright at a distance of approximately 20cm from the target surface.
Depress the spray actuator firmly while moving across the component to apply an even, continuous coating.
Allow the lubricant to penetrate tight spaces and wait for the solvent propellant to fully evaporate before restarting machinery or applying subsequent layers.
Spraying while machinery is in motion: This creates a severe physical entrapment hazard for the technician and prevents the spray from applying evenly.
Failing to shake the can: This causes uneven settlement of the heavy molybdenum disulfide particles, resulting in inconsistent lubrication performance.
Improper spraying distance: Spraying closer than 20cm causes fluid runoff and pooling, while spraying too far results in overspray and wasted product.
Immediate operation after spraying: Failing to wait for the flammable propellant to evaporate fully creates a fire risk and reduces the final adhesive tackiness of the grease layer.
The product is packaged in a pressurized container that must be kept away from direct sunlight, open flames, sparks, and temperatures exceeding 50°C.
Avoid inhaling the spray vapors, as exposure may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or respiratory irritation.
Wear oil-resistant gloves during use; contact with the fluid causes skin irritation.
Do not pierce, puncture, or burn the aerosol canister, even after the product has been entirely depleted.
Manufactured under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system.
Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available upon request to assist maintenance compliance and facility risk management.
Can this product be applied while the gears are wet? No. For the tackifiers and corrosion inhibitors to bond effectively, surfaces should be clean and dry prior to spraying.
Does this spray alter tight gear clearances? No. The thin, solid lubricant film minimizes friction and dampens gear chatter without affecting engineered gear tolerances.
How long does it take for the propellant to evaporate? Evaporation occurs within a few minutes depending on ambient ventilation and temperature; wait until the film becomes tacky before operating equipment.
Can it withstand outdoor tropical weather? Yes. The built-in moisture protection layer and water-resistant properties prevent the lubricant from washing off during heavy rainfall.
