Castrol Alphasyn EP 460 Industrial Synthetic Gear Oil
Alphasyn EP 460 industrial gear oil is part of a high-quality synthetic lubricants range which is based on poly-alpha olefin (PAO) fluids supported by a sulphur/phosphorus Extreme Pressure (EP) additive technology providing a good thermal stability and an excellent load-carrying capacity.
Castrol Alphasyn EP 460 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 gearboxes 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.
Castrol Alphasyn EP 460 is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluoropolymer seal materials.
Alphasyn EP is classified as follows:
DIN Classification is CLP
The Alphasyn EP range meets the requirements of:
- DIN 51517 Part 3
- Flender
- AGMA 9005 – E02
- AIST 224
- David Brown Type E
- 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.
