In the context of Vietnam’s rapidly growing industrial sector, the demand for high-quality lubrication solutions for heavy-duty equipment is increasing. To meet this need, Sinopec, Asia’s leading petroleum and petrochemical corporation, has introduced the L-CKD Industrial Gear Oil (Extreme Pressure Type) — a product specially designed for enclosed drive systems operating under severe conditions.

Advanced EP Additive Technology

Sinopec L-CKD is formulated with highly refined mineral base oils and a new-generation sulfur–phosphorus extreme pressure (EP) additive system, providing superior load-carrying capacity. This creates a strong protective film on gear surfaces, preventing friction, pitting, and metal wear.

Additionally, L-CKD features excellent oxidation stability, rust protection, and water separation, maintaining oil quality over extended service periods — crucial for continuously operating systems such as gearboxes, crushers, and production lines.

Key Advantages of Sinopec L-CKD

• High lubrication performance: Reduces friction and energy loss.

• Extended equipment life: Minimizes wear and prevents gear seizure.

• Thermal stability and cleanliness: Maintains viscosity even at high temperatures.

• Water separation and anti-foam properties: Ensures smooth oil circulation and minimizes air entrainment.

• Cost savings: Longer oil change intervals and reduced maintenance downtime.

Real-World Application

At a large cement plant in Binh Duong Province, Sinopec L-CKD 320 was applied to the main mill’s gearbox system. After more than 12 months of operation:

• Oil temperature dropped by an average of 8°C;

• No sludge or foaming was detected;

• Oil change intervals increased from 8,000 to 12,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

Thanks to these results, Sinopec L-CKD has become the preferred choice for many Vietnamese enterprises replacing imported lubricants.

Towards Sustainable Operation

Beyond performance, Sinopec is also committed to environmental responsibility. The L-CKD series is formulated with low-sulfur, low-emission technology, helping improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact during use.

✅ Conclusion
With its advanced EP additive technology, outstanding load-carrying capability, and superior lubrication performance, Sinopec L-CKD is the optimal solution for heavy-duty industrial gear systems. It protects equipment, reduces costs, and enhances operational reliability — meeting the growing needs of Vietnamese industries.
