Gear oils DIN CLP 460
Application CASTROL ALPHA SP 460
The Alpha SP 460 is recommended for the lubrication of industrial gear boxes using forced circulation or splash and oil bath lubrication. Castrol Alpha SP 460 may be used for the lubrication of spur and helical gears and in some lightly loaded worm type gear applications. They have very good viscosity characteristics to ensure starting torques are not excessively high in cold operating conditions.
The additives in Alpha SP 460 are compatible with the ferrous and non-ferrous metals used in industrial gear units. The Alpha SP 460 is compatible with the most common types of seal materials.
Alpha SP 460 is classified as follows: DIN Classification is CLP 460.

Product Description CASTROL ALPHA SP 460
The Castrol Alpha™ SP 460 gear oil range of high quality lubricants are based upon highly refined mineral oil, enhanced with an extreme pressure additive technology providing good thermal stability and high load carrying capacity. The extreme pressure additive system in Alpha SP 460 not only provides high load carrying capacity, but was designed to provide microscopic wear protection. Microscopic wear protection, also known as micropitting protection, is critical in preventing destructive wear at the micro level therefore extending gear life and meeting the evolving demands of smaller and higher output gear boxes.
