Product Description
Castrol Molub-Alloy™ 860 ES greases are high-performance multi-service lithium complex greases formulated from premium petroleum base oils, lubricating solids and a combination of corrosion inhibitors specifically chosen for protection against corrosive process waters. These are designed to extend the service life of bearings in heavy-duty applications and at elevated temperatures. Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases provide an appropriate oil film for applications at slower to moderate speeds, higher loads, and/or higher temperatures sustained for longer periods of time. The load-carrying and anti-wear capabilities of Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases exceed conventional complex greases. High-performance is the result of chemical additives working synergistically with select Molub-Alloy lubricating solids which are dispersed uniformly throughout the grease. These lubricating solids offer their greatest benefit at slow speeds or when bearings endure heavy loads and shocks. Solids also protect newly machined bearing surfaces during the critical period of ‘running in’. Good bearing surfaces are essential for long service life.
Application
Primary metals, including steel ¬– use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases near hot ingots, soaking pits, and reheat furnaces to lubricate pit cover carriages, mill stand screws, slipper couplings, roll bearings, manipulators and guide rolls for continuous casters. Paper and forest products – on paper machines, use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases on the ‘wet end’ couch, suction,and press roll bearings where water wash, corrosive process waters, and high temperatures are present.
