Performance, Features & Benefits of CASTROL ALPHASYN EP 460 are:
- 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 460 is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
Alphasyn EP 460 is classified as follows: DIN Classification is CLP 460.
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
