Motor Oils

Modern motor oils are not just the life blood of engines. Advanced high-efficiency and low-
emission engines present challenges including wear-protection demands from lower viscosity
oils, increased suspended contamination requirements and higher combustion temperatures.
JAX wisely selects the highest performing conventional and synthetic base fluids combined
with the best additive chemistries for unequalled performance in all engine categories.

No single lubricant can be so quickly assessed in an application as grease.
Although the primary job of a lubricating grease is certainly to lubricate, it
cannot perform that function properly if it does not stay put in the lubricated
part. This is grease’s job: stay where we put you, keep out contaminants
and lubricate effectively. In the formulation process, JAX considers ambient
and operating conditions including temperatures, speeds, environment, load
and others to determine the ideal thickener chemistry, base fluid features
and NLGI Grade. Every JAX grease is formulated to be the top

Specialty
Lubricants

Specialty Fluids are those that address machinery needs in market segments not typically
controlled by overriding OEM specifications, or not large enough in volume to justify
additive package development by large additive manufacturers. Specialty Lubricants is
an area where JAX’ high technology, independent lubricant chemists and formulators are
at our best. What would be an insignificant contributor to the bottom line for a major oil
conglomerate may be an important piece of business for the independent formulator and
an opportunity to showcase JAX’ formulary prowess.

Blending Facility

Manufacturing the highest quality industrial and
synthetic lubricants in the world is priority one at
JAX. With nearly 100,000 gallons of daily blending
capacity, our high-tech facility is second to none.

To ensure unparalleled quality in JAX lubricants, we
have installed separate delivery lines to and from all
storage vessels to eliminate the chance of cross-
contamination. Separate, dedicated pumps are used
to transfer food-grade and nonfood-grade products.
All batch blends are done in load cell-equipped
blenders, controlling raw ingredient portions down to
fractions of a gallon.

Of course, all raw materials, packaging and
finished lubricants must pass JAX’ strict quality
control screening before they are accepted into or
shipped from our manufacturing plants.

JAX INC. is an ISO 9001:2015 and
ISO 21469:2006-certified facility.

NLGI Numbers for Grease

A scale for the classification of consistency of a grease, based on penetration numbers determined by
ASTM Method D 217. Although there are no official “half” numbers (e.g. 2 1/2), it has become a tradition
to give such “half” numbers to intermediate grades (e.g. a grease with a penetration range of 230-260 is
called a 2 1/2 NLGI). The scale was originally designed by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).

NLGI Consistency Number ASTM Worked (60 strokes)
Penetration at 25°C (77°F), tenths of a millimeter
000 445 to 475
