Synthetic Fifth Wheel & Open Gear
Compound (GFW)
Stays
in place and protects over a broad temperature range
without flaking in low temperatures or softening in high
temperatures. Excellent for fifth wheel applications, with
a convenient aerosol spray application that creates less
mess. Designed to resist water washout. Can also be used
in open gear applications.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic Fifth Wheel and Open Gear Compound
(GFW) is based on proprietary technology resulting in a
lubricant that does not use asphaltic materials, residual
compounded oils or diluent solvents as part of the
lubricant formulation.* Typical gear compounds are
composed of asphaltic and residual oils cut with solvent
to ease application and use. Synthetic GFW does not
require solvents to assist the product in application and
use, even in cold weather.
*Aerosol spray contains a
solvent that evaporates quickly leaving a solvent-free film of
material on treated surfaces.
WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
RANGE AMSOIL GFW performs
well in cold temperatures and won't drip off at high
temperatures, reducing the need for frequent
rlubrication.
ADHESION TO METAL AMSOIL GFW provides excellent adhesion to metal
surfaces in cold and hot temperatures. Tackiness allows
it to stay in place in high-speed applications, even when
applied to open gears or chains. Spray formulation offers
quick and easy application.
WATER WASHOUT
RESISTANT AMSOIL GFW
repels water, protects metal parts from rust corrosion
and stays in place to protect gears from wear.
HANDLES HEAVY LOADS AMSOIL GFW provides a tough grease film to
handle heavy loads and prevent metal parts from
contacting.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- Excellent resistance to water
washout
- Environmentally preferable to
solvent-containing formulations
- Protects ferrous surfaces from
rust
- Excellent adhesion to metal
surfaces
- Forms a tacky, tenacious
film
- Heavy load-carrying and extreme-pressure
performance
- Stays pliable at cold temperatures and
does not flake off
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL GFW may be applied to fifth-wheels, open
gears, chains, flexible couplings, sliding surfaces of
drag lines and shovels, construction equipment, dredging
equipment or any application where a heavy, tenacious
lubricant is required.
Performance
Data
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound meets the
AGMA 14R and NLGI #1 performance specifications.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is fully
compatible with other fifth-wheel and open gear compounds and
may be applied to surfaces previously treated with other
fifth-wheel and open gear compounds.
