The difference between ISO VG 150, 220, and 320 gear oils lies in their film strength and load-carrying capacity: ISO VG 150 is ideal for high-speed systems, ISO VG 220 is the versatile industry standard for general drives, and ISO VG 320 is required for heavy-duty, slow-speed gears under extreme pressure. Davor recommends selecting based on operating torque and temperature, utilizing TotalEnergies Carter EP for mineral-based protection or Carter SH for synthetic high-temperature performance. Our technical team provides precise viscosity calculations to prevent micropitting and optimize energy efficiency for your specific gearbox requirements.

The primary difference is their thickness (kinematic viscosity) at 40°C, which dictates the oil’s flow speed and film strength: ISO VG 32 is a light oil for fast-moving or cold-start systems, ISO VG 46 is the versatile industry standard for most industrial machinery, and ISO VG 68 is a heavy-duty oil for high-pressure systems operating in hot environments. Davor recommends TotalEnergies Azolla ZS for high-performance anti-wear protection in fixed industrial plants, or Equivis ZS (High Viscosity Index) for outdoor equipment facing extreme temperature fluctuations in Malaysia. Selecting the correct grade prevents pump cavitation in light systems while ensuring robust lubrication and leak prevention in heavy-duty hydraulic presses.

Hot Dip Galvanizing is a factory process that submerses steel in molten zinc to create a permanent metallurgical bond, while Cold Galvanizing Spray is an onsite sacrificial coating containing high-purity zinc dust. While Hot Dip offers superior long-term durability for structural steel, Davor’s high-performance Cold Galvanizing sprays (like Spanjaard Cold Galv) provide a convenient, rapid-drying solution for repairing damaged coatings and protecting welds without dismantling machinery. Our technical team recommends Cold Galv spray for MRO applications where onsite protection and "sacrificial" cathodic prevention are required to stop rust from spreading on exposed metal.

Yes, Davor provides high-performance food-grade lubricants that are not only NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact but are also certified peanut-free and allergen-free to meet strict BRCGS and IFS food safety standards. Our lubricants, such as those from the TotalEnergies Nevastane or LUTEX ranges, are formulated without nut oils or common allergens, ensuring they are safe for use in facilities producing sensitive food products. Davor’s technical team provides full documentation, including Halal, Kosher, and allergen-free statements, to help your facility maintain compliance and prevent cross-contamination in the production line.

AW 46 hydraulic oil, also classified as ISO VG 46, has a kinematic viscosity of 46 mm2/s at 40°C, offering a versatile medium-weight balance between efficient fluid flow and robust wear protection. The "AW" designation signifies Anti-Wear properties—typically achieved through zinc-based ZDDP additives—which are essential for protecting high-pressure pumps and valves from metal-to-metal contact. Davor recommends TotalEnergies Azolla ZS 46 or LUBTEX Texoil AW 46 for indoor industrial plants, while Equivis ZS 46 is preferred for outdoor equipment to maintain a stable Viscosity Index despite Malaysia's high ambient temperatures.

IMPA refers to the International Marine Purchasers’ Association, which uses a standardized 6-digit coding system to simplify the global procurement of ship stores and MRO supplies. Davor utilizes these IMPA codes to provide precise product matching for world-renowned brands like Spanjaard and CRC, ensuring international vessels docking in Malaysian ports receive the exact technical aerosols, lubricants, and cleaners required. By mapping Spanjaard’s specialized marine range and CRC’s industrial chemicals to the IMPA Marine Stores Guide, we eliminate technical errors and ensure seamless supply chain compliance for maritime fleet managers.

For maximum corrosion resistance, first clean the metal to a "bright metal" finish using a wire brush or solvent to ensure the zinc achieves direct cathodic contact with the steel. Apply high-performance aerosols like Spanjaard Cold Galv or CRC Zinc-It in multiple thin, overlapping coats from a distance of 20-30cm, allowing 10-15 minutes of flash-off time between layers to prevent sagging. This professional application method effectively repairs damaged hot-dip galvanizing and protects welds, utilizing the high-purity zinc in Spanjaard and CRC formulations to stop rust creep in high-humidity industrial environments.

"EP" refers to Extreme Pressure additives that enable grease to protect components under heavy shock loads, whereas "EP 2" specifically denotes an EP grease with an NLGI 2 consistency, the industry-standard "medium" thickness similar to peanut butter. While a lubricant can be an EP type in various densities (such as EP 00 or EP 1), EP 2 is the most versatile grade for general-purpose industrial bearings and automotive applications. Davor recommends TotalEnergies Multis EP 2 or LUBTEX Lithium EP 2 for high-load environments where both chemical load-carrying capacity and a stable physical barrier against contaminants are essential.

A high-temperature lubricant is defined by its ability to maintain a stable lubricating film at operating temperatures exceeding 200°C without carbonizing or evaporating. For high-performance requirements, Davor recommends synthetic-based solutions such as Spanjaard HT High Temp Grease (for mechanical bearings) or LUBTEX specialized high-temp chain oils, which utilize PTFE or Ester technology to reduce friction under extreme heat. Selecting the right lubricant depends on whether your application involves open gears, oven chains, or high-speed bearings, as the base oil must resist oxidation to prevent the formation of sludge and varnish in hot environments.

A lubricant is officially "food grade" if it is NSF H1 registered, which can be verified by checking the product label for the NSF logo and a unique 6-digit registration number. You should cross-reference this number on the NSF White Book online directory to ensure the registration is active and the brand (such as Spanjaard, CRC, or LUBTEX) is listed for incidental food contact. Additionally, high-standard facilities look for ISO 21469 certification and MOSH/MOAH-free statements to ensure the entire manufacturing process—not just the ingredients—meets global food safety requirements.

Effective application of EP2 grease starts with absolute cleanliness; always wipe the grease fitting (zirk) and the grease gun nozzle with a lint-free cloth before connecting to prevent pumping abrasive dirt into the bearing. Slowly pump high-quality lubricant—such as TotalEnergies Multis EP 2 or LUBTEX Lithium EP 2—into the housing until you see the old, discolored grease being purged or feel a slight increase in backpressure. To avoid seal damage and overheating, never overfill the bearing housing (typically 30-50% capacity for high-speed applications) and ensure the relief port is open during the process to allow excess pressure to escape.
