Alphasyn PG Range

Synthetic Industrial Extreme Pressure Gear Oil

Castrol Alphasyn PG synthetic gear oils are based upon highly stable polyglycol base fluids, the properties of which are further enhanced by a complex additive system giving improvements in load carrying capacity, oxidation and thermal stability, allowing operation at high loads and continuous high temperatures.

APPLICATION
Alphasyn PG gear oils are primarily intended for use in worm reduction gear boxes, where the low coefficient of friction of the polyglycol base fluid gives improvements in efficiency and consequent reductions in power consumption and operating temperatures, particularly when operating at high loads. The stability of the synthetic base when compared to mineral oil also allows increased maintenance intervals and fluid life, reducing servicing costs.
Alphasyn PG gear oils are available in ISO viscosity grades from 150 to 460.

FEATURES

• High load carrying capacity and outstanding wear protection
• Low coefficient of friction
• High viscosity index and low Pour Point, Stable at high temperatures (up to 140Deg C)
• Excellent corrosion protection for gearboxes operating in humid environments

BENEFITS

• Reduced Maintenance
• Reduced energy consumption and operating temperature
• Wide operating temperature range and minimise or avoid pre-heating for cold starts
