Castrol Viscogen KL 23 Synthetic High Temperature Chain Lubricant
Castrol Viscogen KL™ 23 is a thermally stable synthetic lubricant designed for high temperature lubrication in severe environments, where the use of mineral oils or conventional synthetic oils would result in excessive wear, carbonisation and residue formation.
It can be used up to temperatures of +200°C/+390°F, depending on the viscosity.
Viscogen KL 23 has been developed from base fluids which form exceptionally adherent, transparent and odourless lubricating films and an additive system free of solids, metals or silicone which enhances load carrying capability and wear protection.
Viscogen KL 23 is suitable for use in the lubrication of roller, pin, ladder chains, insertion and flat link hoisting chains.
Viscogen KL finds use in many industrial applications, for example: High-rack storage shelves, bakery machines, paint lines, conveyor chains, tenter frames and dryers, washing plants, underfloor chains, steamers, slashers, baking ovens, slide ways, spindles, ropes, open gear wheels, plastic toothed belts and sheet-fed offset machines.
Viscogen KL 23 is especially suitable for use in BOPP (Biaxially oriented Polypropylene) film stretching machines.
Castrol Viscogen KL 23 Synthetic High-Temperature Chain Lubricant Product Advantages:
- Extremely low evaporation rate, low residue formation and low smoke generation at high temperatures – enabling reduced maintenance, reduced lubricant consumption and better working environments.
- Outstanding load carrying ability under severe mechanical loads and high temperatures as well as excellent penetration on chains and wire rope strands – leading to longer chain life.
- No dripping or throwing off at high speeds or high temperatures – giving reduced lubricant consumption.
- Excellent rust protection, extraordinary oxidation resistance and no hard carbon build-up – leading to longer chain life and reduced maintenance.

If the lubricant drips off, select the next higher viscosity. Compatible and miscible with mineral oils.
Easy and economical use with an adjustable spray head.
Spraying foam remains until the oil has penetrated the friction point.
Storage:
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
