Product Description
Description:
The Castrol Alphasyn™ EP gear oil range of high quality synthetic lubricants are based on poly-alphaolefin (PAO) fluids and sulfur/phosphorus extreme pressure (EP) additive technology providing good thermal stability and high load carrying capacity.
Application:
The Alphasyn EP range has been formulated for use in all types of enclosed gears including heavy and shock-loaded gears and bearings where EP properties are required. They are suitable for use in gear boxes where micro-pitting resistance is required and for a wide range of applications in extreme environments, for example mining and quarrying, marine applications and paper production. The use of a PAO base stock provides an inherently high viscosity index (VI) and low pour points making these products suitable for use over a wide temperature range.
The Alphasyn EP range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
Alphasyn EP is classified as follows: DIN Classification is CLP.
The Alphasyn EP range meets the requirements of:
- DIN 51517 Part 3
- AGMA 9005 - D94
- US Steel 224
- David Brown Type E
- Hansen Transmissions
- Flender
Lohmann & Stofferfoht
Advantages:
- Full EP performance provides excellent protection of gears against wear and shock loading, including protection against micro-pitting.
- Good thermal and oxidative stability provides reliable operation and extended operating life when compared to mineral oil based products.
- High corrosion protection for gears.
- Inherently high Viscosity Index (VI) makes the product suitable for operations over a wide temperature range.
- Rapid air release and good performance in the Flender Foam Test prevents foaming and bearing damage.
- Good water separation and demulsification characteristics means reduced down time through prolonged lubricant life and increased equipment reliability.
- PAO based lubricant provides good compatibility with seals, paints and mineral oil based lubricants.
