Industrial Gearing
Caltex Meropa® — Gear lubricants are premium extreme pressure gear lubricants that are a standard for reliability, consistency and performance. Proven in rigorous tests and real-world applications, Meropa gear lubricants offer high thermal and oxidation stability, excellent foam control and superior demulsibility. They are designed to extend service life by minimizing wear, and are recommended wherever AGMA extreme pressure lubricant is specified. Caltex Meropa gear lubricants meet or exceed EP Gear Oil requirements of AGMA 9005; U.S. Steel specification 224 (grades 68 to 320), David Brown, Table E, approved (grades 68 to 680); and DIN 51517 Part 3 CLP (grades 68 to 680).

A premium quality, antiwear hydraulic fluid Caltex Rando® HD — Designed for use in mobile and stationary high pressure hydraulic systems with vane, gear, or piston pumps. It meets performance standards of Denison Hydraulics, Vickers, Cincinnati Lamb and Mannesmann Rexroth among others, and help ensure longer equipment life, reduced equipment downtime and extended oil service life.

Industrial Greases
Caltex Starplex® — Premium quality, mineral oil based, multipurpose lithium complex, extreme pressure greases for a variety of industrial applications. They are recommended as multipurpose industrial greases where elevated operating temperature is a concern. Providing superior rust and corrosion protection and resistance to water washout, they are particularly effective in providing wear protection under high loads and shock load service.
Caltex Ultra-Duty Grease® — A premium, red color, heavy-duty EP grease with stay-in-place properties that make it particularly suitable for industrial equipment operating in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions. Outstanding film strength and effective EP additive protect against component wear under severe conditions and shock loading.
