Major phone order for fluoro-ether grease

Not all lubrication problems, or applications for grease in industry, are easily identifiable, as recently discovered by Sovereign Lubricants and Seals when sorting a mobile phone problem

Not all lubrication applications in industry are easily identifiable, as recently discovered by Sovereign Lubricants and Seals.

Sovereign have been selling the Omega brand of quality lubricants for over 25 years and have throughout that time discovered 1000s of applications where the superior performance of Omega has won through for the customer, resulting in reduced wear and tear on machinery, less break-downs and increased production.

From wind farms through to printing presses, the list is exhaustive.

Omega lubricants have a niche in the marketplace due to the unique additives in the products which result in less wear and tear of machinery, particularly 24/7 operations in the food processing, printing, pharmaceutical and other processing applications.

Sovereign have customers who have purchased Omega for over 20 years, even though the engineers have changed over the years, the product proves to be good enough for repeat orders spanning back to the 1980s! David Brook, Sovereign sales director, comments: " Time and time again we have seen the advantages offered to the process industry using Omega oils and greases, the special formualtions and extra additives that are often missing from standard oils and greases but are standard in all Omega products help the grease or oil penetrate deep in to the metal surface on machinery and stay where it is put to reduce friction.

Most cheaper lubricants drain away or harden and that is one of the reasons why Omega products last longer".

More recently Sovereign were called upon to assist one of the world's major mobile phone manufacturers who required the very best grease available for lubricating the slide mechanism on their new model of mobile phone.

After exhaustive trials using competitor product the best performing solution turned out to be Omega 28 super fluoro-ether grease, available exclusively in the UK through SLS.

The combination of superb adhesion to the slideway surface and complete elimination of the grease evaporating or draining away meant that the customer can concentrate on other issues and leave the lubrication duties to Omega.

Says Steve Chesters, owner of SLS "Throughout the 20+ years I have been involved with lubricants I have seen a variety of strange applications, none as unusual as a mobile phone slide mechansim, until now I did not realise they needed lubricating but I suppose when you think about it the slide is opened thousands of times and will wear or stick without a quality grease that does not impair the mechanism and will not drain away, Omega 28 beat all the other greases that our customer tried and once again has proved to be one of, or possibly the best high performance grease in the market today".

Proof again that quality counts.

Omega 28 is available in 100gramme pots and free data sheets are available via the company website.

SLS have a range of products including:- Gear and Engine Oils, Greases, Anti-Seizes (including nuclear grade), Release Sprays, Grease Guns, Applicators, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Seals.

Any customer with a "mission impossible" lubrication problem should contact Steve who will give a free proposal to solve any problems that customers may be experiencing.
