The client had excessive “rubber like” deposits forming in a $600,000 gearbox. This happened shortly after changing to a different brand of lubricant. Using SEM and other analysis, Herguth Laboratories, Inc. successfully argued that the polymer was unstable and was the source of the deposit. Our client recouped ALL of their cost associated with this failure! |
