What Makes LE Unique

LE's Proprietary Additives: Unique Additive Technology

LE's own additive research and manufacturing company, The ALMASOL® Corporation, and our complete research and development department continually develop more effective and efficient high technology additives and product lines that are proprietary to LE. All this technology is incorporated into LE lubricants so they are the finest available.

ALMASOL® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear.

DUOLEC® dual-acting additive imparts synergistic properties to lubricants, providing both wear-reducing and extreme pressure protection. The result of revolutionary technology designed specifically for use in LE gear lubricants, Duolec increases oil film strength and is temperature-activated to provide a protective layer that smooths metal surfaces and minimizes the effects of any contact, thereby reducing friction and preventing surface wear.

MONOLEC® wear-reducing additive creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing oil film strength without affecting clearances. An invaluable component in LE's engine oils, industrial oils and many of its other lubricants, Monolec allows opposing surfaces to slide by one another, greatly reducing friction, heat and wear.

LE's Exclusive Dual Action Additive that Provides
Elasto-Hydro-Dynamic (EHD) Antiwear (AW) Film Strength Enhancement and Boundary Lubrication Extreme Pressure (EP) Surface Protection

How DUOLEC® Works

DUOLEC® is the newest LE proprietary additive incorporating revolutionary technology designed specifically for use in LE gear lubricants. It is a temperature activated, dual acting liquid additive that imparts special properties and synergies to the LE Products in which it is used. DUOLEC® increases lubricate film strength and protects metal surfaces outperforming at greater temperature and loads.

DUOLEC® incorporates revolutionary new technology which is thermally activated to provide a dual layer of antiwear and extreme pressure protection that forms a solid-like protective layer on the metal surface. This layer fills surface asperities, effectively smoothing the surface and minimizing the effects of any metal to metal contact thereby reducing friction and preventing welding and surface wear.
