Application Information
  • Functional V-475 is an additive that confers a tack or stringiness to a lubricant. Functional V-475 is useful in spindle lubricants for textile machinery due to its light color.  
  • Functional V-475 may also be used to provide adherence in way oils, chain lubricants, stringiness in greases and aerosol resistance in mist or pneumatic-system lubricants.  
  • Functional V-475 is NSF registered as a lubricant for use in food-processing plants where incidental food contact may occur.

Technical Details & Test Data

Treatment Level
  • Treatment levels may vary: spindle oil - 0.1% to 0.5%, way lubes - 0.25% and chain lubes - 0.25% to 1.0%.
  • To minimize hydrocarbon aerosol escape from mist-lubricated and pneumatic equipment requires approximately 0.5%.
  •  The treatment level for greases is best determined by the formulator. 

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information
  • Due to the viscosity of Functional V-475, elevated temperature (about 150°F or 65°C) can facilitate handling, but temperatures over 200°F (95°C) should be avoided.
  • Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil
  • When using Functional V-475 avoid mechanical shear during blending and handling. Functional V-422 is recommended for moderate shear applications.
