Castrol Alphasyn EP 150
Synthetic heavy duty (PAO) EP gear Oil
Product Description
The Castrol Alphasyn™ EP gear oil range of high-quality synthetic lubricants are based on poly-alphaolefin (PAO) fluids and sulphur/phosphorus Extreme Pressure (EP) additive technology providing good thermal stability and high load carrying capacity
Features & Benefits
- Full EP performance gives 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.
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 150 is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluoropolymer seal materials.
Alphasyn EP 150 is classified as follows: DIN Classification is CLP 150.
The Alphasyn EP range meets the requirements of:
- DIN 51517 Part 3
- Siemens MD for Flender Gear Units
- AGMA 9005 – E02
- AIST 224
- David Brown Type E
Application
The Alphasyn EP 150 have been formulated for use in all types of enclosed gears including heavy and shock-loaded gears and bearings where EP properties are required.
Castrol Alphasyn EP 150 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.
