The information contained in this brochure is based on the experience and know-how of FUCHS
Lubricants Co. in the development and manufacturing of lubricants and represents the current state-of-the-
art. The performance of our products can be influenced by a series of factors, especially the specific use,
the method of application, the operational environment, component pre-treatment, possible external
contamination, etc. For this reason, universally-valid statements about the function of our products are not
possible. The information given in this Product Information sheet represents general, non-binding
guidelines. No warranty expressed or implied is given concerning the properties of the product or its
suitability for any given application.

We therefore recommend you consult a FUCHS Lubricants Co. Application Engineer to discuss application
conditions and the performance criteria of the products before the product is used. It is the responsibility
of the user to test the functional suitability of the product and to use it with the corresponding care.

Our products undergo continuous improvement. We therefore retain the right to change our product
program, the products, and their manufacturing processes as well as all details of our Product Information
sheets at any time and without warning. With the publication of this Product Information sheet, all previous
