Companies Major Products Apollo America Corp. Jefferson, Ind. Environmentally friendly, high-performance metalworking lubricants.

Great Lakes Gear Technologies Inc., though Apollo America Corp., offers metalworking oils specifically designed to reduce the health hazards and environmental impact of oil products, while simultaneously increasing performance and reducing the purchase, use and disposal costs. This required the elimination of hazardous chlorine and active sulfur additives. The solution was found by using a less costly and better performing organic molybdenum EP alternative, non-active sulfur compounds, and better quality and lighter virgin oils.

Using Daphne Hobbing and Broaching oils will provide:

• Reduced oil consumption due to lower viscosity. That means less carry off.
  
• Easier viewing of oil contamination, effectiveness of filtration, parts and tools due to lighter color.
  
• Much less machine wear and parts corrosiveness due to the non-active type chemistry.
  
• The elimination or reduction in hazardous chlorine in the workplace.
  
• Lower odor, mist levels, and substantially reduced tendency of skin irritations.
  
• Lower flash point due to use of higher-quality virgin oils.
