PURITY™ FG PAG Gear Oils are advanced gear lubricants formulated to deliver exceptional performance and resist degradation for service in both food grade and non-food grade industrial applications.

PURITY™ FG PAG Gear Oils are synthetic polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based lubricants formulated with specially selected additives to protect against wear, oxidation, rust and corrosion. PURITY™ FG PAG Gear Oils exhibit high viscosity indices for a wide range of applications and the inherent properties of polyalkylene glycol base fluids help improve lubricity. These synthetic fluids are tough enough to handle food processing applications, and severe, heavy-duty industrial applications over wide temperatures, and are suitable for industrial applications and gearboxes.

Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based lubricants are not compatible with mineral oils, PAO based fluids and many other synthetic lubricants. Before filling a gear reservoir with, or converting a system over to PURITY FG PAG Gear Oils, it is recommended for users to follow special flushing and conversion procedures.

Depending on the specific type of PAG base fluid there may be compatibility issues with mixing different types of PAG lubricants. It is important to check compatibility between different PAG lubricants before topping up gear reservoirs.

Also, PAG based lubricants are not compatible with certain materials used in components like seals, paints, interior coatings, and plastics. For further details, please refer to technical bulletin TB-1308 for Guidelines for Cleaning, Flushing and Converting to PURITY FG PAG Gear Oils, or consult your Petro-Canada Lubricants Technical Services Advisor.
