Green’ breather boosts lubricant life, complements lube services

Des-Case® Corporation, a leading manufacturer of desiccant breathers, today announced the signing of a cooperative private label agreement with ExxonMobil Lubricants and Petroleum Specialties Company in Fairfax, Va.

Under terms of the partnership, Des-Case will private label its existing line of disposable breathers for ExxonMobil. The products will be marketed under the tradenames ‘Exxon OilShieldTM’ and ‘Mobil LubeGuardTM’ and will be sold as ancillary products exclusively through ExxonMobil distributors in the United States.

“The addition of an environmentally responsible breather which boosts lubricant life enables ExxonMobil to offer customers a full suite of lubrication services,” said Brian Gleason, Des-Case general manager. “With their focus on value-added service solutions, this product was an essential addition to their line.”

Des-Case breathers, the first breathers to be used in industry, incorporate a patented design to filter out water and particulate contamination on gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, and storage and process tanks. With little or no equipment modifications, the breather replaces the standard filler/breather cap on such devices and can boost lubricant and machine life substantially.
