Castrol OPTIGEAR BM 1500 18KG
Castrol Optigear BM 1500 is part of the Optigear BM range of high-performance extreme pressure gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related problems in heavily loaded industrial gears and bearings.
Optigear BM is formulated with Castrol's Microflux Trans (MFT) Plastic Deformation (PD) additive. MFT PD helps improve performance when operating temperature and loads reach a certain level of activation energy, by enabling the microsmoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear. The smoothed surface delivers optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction, especially in applications which experience extreme pressure, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds. MFT PD helps to protect against scuffing and shock loading, while maintaining a high load carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears.

Features & Benefits
| •Tests have shown a reduction in the coefficient of friction of up to 60% over conventional oils without PD technology, which can deliver energy savings, lower lubricant and component temperatures and improve operational efficiency. |
| •In laboratory tests Castrol PD additives were shown to prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears. Non-PD oils used in pre-damaged gears showed existing wear levels increased up to three times. |
| •Smoothing existing gear damage reduces the cost of repairs and replacements and improves operating efficiency by increasing equipment reliability. |
| •Friction, heat and vibration are reduced. |
| •Oil with Castrol PD additives provides superior protection with wear levels of less than half those observed in tests with conventional non-PD oil, to help extend planned gear and bearing life. |
| •Full load operation is achieved in a short time, virtually eliminating the running-in period. |
