Castrol Tribol GR 1350-2.5 PD High performance bearing grease 5kg

Castrol Tribol™ GR 1350-2.5 PD (previously called Optipit™) is a lithium soap based High performance bearing grease (NLGI 2-3) with an extremely high viscosity base oil containing the advanced MicroFlux Trans (MFT) additive package.

Application

• Tribol GR 1350-2.5 PD is especially suited for rolling and sliding bearings in dusty and humid environments. It builds a stable grease collar at the bearing edges, supporting the seals to prevent penetration of dirt, water and other contamination. Tribol GR 1350-2.5 PD enables a hydrodynamic lubricating film even at low speeds.
• Developed for the lubrication of anti-friction and plain bearings running at low speeds which require extremely high oil viscosity, or operate in wet and dusty atmospheres found in applications such as:
  • Mining, especially open-pit mining
  • The steel industry/tube mills under heavy shock loads and vibration
  • Equipment exposed to seawater, in harbors, and on ships and drilling platforms
  • Yaw gear on wind turbines

Characteristics

• The MFT additive technology provides optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction even under extremes of pressure, vibration, shock loads, at high or low speeds or varying micro-smoothing of the friction surfaces.
• Under severe load, components of the MFT additive combination are activated, initiating an improvement of surface friction characteristics through plastic deformation.
• The products of that organic reation become a component of the tribopolymer system.
• Unlike the case with conventional lubricants, the tribopolymers formed by MFT are long-chained compounds with excellent lubricity and adhesion.
• This means that the load carrying area is improved, and a hydrodynamic lubrication film is easier to maintain.
• This unique physio-chemical reaction achieves a non-sacrificial micro-smoothing of the friction surfaces

Advantages

• Water and dirt repellent – the grease is still effective in adverse environments
• High load bearing capacity – enables the extension of operating periods even under high loads whilst still maintain optimum wear protection.
• Establishes a protective layer of MFT – this additive system can effectively increase the load bearing area, therefore reducing unit pressures, operating temperatures and wear which can increase service life of both parts and lubricant
• Improved bearing surfaces for longer service life result from the ‘running in’ effect of MFT
• Extremely low coefficients of friction – energy savings and reduced noise levels
• Good adhesion due to high oil viscosity – the film coating stays on the surface
• Reduction of running-in period
