GUM SOLVENT GSC combines a blend of solvents to dissolve and disperse gums, varnishes and sludge created from the oxidation of mineral oils.

All mineral based products are susceptible to oxidation leading to the creation of gums, surface varnish, sludge and corrosive organic acids. If left these oxidation products will lead to a reduction in performance of hydraulic and similar systems and if left will accelerate the deterioration of fresh hydraulic and lubricating oils.

o Effectively dissolves gums, varnishes and similar deposits
o Maintains the performance of hydraulic and lubrication systems
o After usage helps preserve the working life of fresh hydraulic or lubricating oil
o Easy to apply
o No need for costly system down time

• Appearance – Yellow Liquid
• Specific Gravity – 0.87
• Flash Point – >100℃

GUM SOLVENT GSC should be added to the hydraulic oil or lubricating oil system at 5% of the total volume _ The system should be left operating as normal for 100 -150 hours before the system is drained and refilled with fresh hydraulic or lubricating oil.
Following the application of GUM SOLVENT GSC all system filters should be removed and cleaned before fresh hydraulic or lubricating oil is added to the system.
