 Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is a heavy duty, nonsolvent containing multiservice lubricant designed for use on heavy duty shovels, walking draglines, blast hole drills and haul trucks. It is formulated to withstand the most severe environments. In open pit mining, this may include extreme heat and dust in summer as well as the inclement weather of winter.
Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is part of Castrol Performance Lubricants’ Eco-Solutions™ product offering. Formulated to address environmental concerns, Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is free of lead, antimony, zinc, barium, and chlorinated solvents. No solvents of any kind are used in 968 SF Medium.
A highly refined, viscous, paraffinic petroleum derivative is the foundation of a blended base fluid with excellent natural chemical and thermal stability. Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is compounded to flow readily in the film-forming process; yet it resists "squeeze-out" and clings tenaciously even to gear teeth in vertical orientation.
A proprietary blend of Castrol Molub-Alloy lubricating solids is included to promote antiwear and load carrying properties beyond those of conventional lubricants. The select lubricating solids work synergistically with chemical antiwear and extreme pressure (EP) additives to reduce contact temperatures while providing excellent antiweld protection under extreme pressure and shock loading.
Rust and oxidation inhibitors are included in the formulation to protect the equipment and lubricating film against the elements in severe climates. The select grade and size distribution of the lubricating solids are intended to provide 968 SF Medium with multiservice characteristics to include applications from heavy duty open gears to antifriction and journal bearings.
Advantages
Compounded for the protection of the ecology - the elimination of hazardous materials.
Tough Durable Film - resists erosion from rain and sleet; resists peeling in dusty environments.
Resists Packing from Dust - even in dusty environments Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium resists packing at the gear roots and remains mobile. The spent lubricant stays pliable to facilitate removal from gear guards and semi-enclosed gear cases.
Multiservice - used in a variety of applications on most draglines, shovels, drills and trucks. Reduces product inventory and minimizes risk of product contamination or misapplication.
Notes
Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is not intended for use in these elevated speed applications:
"U"-joints of off highway vehicles.
As a general industrial bearing grease operating continuously at elevated speeds i.e., motor bearings. |
