Castrol Alphasyn T 460
The Castrol Alphasyn™ T gear oil range of synthetic lubricants is based on polyalphaolefin (PAO) fluids and sulphur/phosphorus anti-wear additive technology providing outstanding thermal stability and good load carrying capacity. The Alphasyn T range has been formulated for use in most types of light to medium duty enclosed gear systems but should not be used for heavy or shock loaded systems. Alphasyn T is also suitable for bearings and circulatory systems operating at high temperatures, and for various applications where a lubricating oil is used under high temperatures, from hydraulic systems through to large, slow moving gears. All products in the Alphasyn T range have very low pour points and excellent viscosity and temperature characteristics, allowing their use in both low and high temperature applications. The Alphasyn T range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
Application
Alphasyn T is classified as follows: DIN Classification CL.
The Alphasyn T range meets the requirements of: DIN 51517 Part 2, David Brown Type A.
Advantages
| •Good thermal and oxidative stability provides reliable operation and extended operating life when compared to mineral oil based products |
| •Inherently high viscosity index (VI) makes the product suitable for operations over a wide temperature range |
| •Good anti-wear and load carrying abilities minimises gear wear and prolongs gear tooth life |
| •Reduced down time through water separation and demulsification characteristics resulting in prolonged lubricant life and increased equipment reliability |
| •PAO based lubricant that provides good compatibility with seals, paints and mineral oil based lubricants |
