Castrol Optitemp TT1EP - high performance lubricating greases for arctic to high temperature ranges.
MICROFLUX TRANS® (TRANS=TRiple Action Non-sacrificial Surface engineering) improves friction surfaces to an extent not possible with normal machining processes and conventional EP lubricants. In a tribological system the polarized MICROFLUX TRANS additives instantaneously create a passive film on friction surfaces before friction occurs. At a given load level, the MICROFLUX TRANS additives release compounds forming a resistant protective layer on friction surfaces. Under severe load, components of the MICROFLUX TRANS additive combination are activated and diffuse into the surfaces initiating an improvement of their friction characteristics through plastic deformation. The organic reaction products become a component of the tribopolymer system. Unlike the case with conventional lubricants, the tribopolymers formed by MICROFLUX TRANS are long-chained compounds with excellent lubricity and adhesion. The load carrying area is improved, a hydrodynamic lubrication film is easier to maintain. This unique physio-chemical reaction is CASTROL surface engineering and achieves a non-sacrificial micro-smoothing of the friction surfaces. The MICROFLUX TRANS 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 operational conditions.
CASTROL OPTITEMP TT1 EP - black long-term lubricant containing MoS2 for very heavy loads.
The products have excellent corrosion resistance. They are temperature stable, providing long service life and offer superior structural stability in applications where the grease is "worked".
Applications: Fill bearing housing only about half-full with Castrol Optitemp TT1 or follow the specifications of antifriction bearing manufacturers. Clean new bearing before initial fill. Do not mix with other lubricating greases. Consult Technical Service at Castrol Lubricants, Inc. when compatibility with a formerly used product is necessary. Maximum performance can be assured only if the product is applied properly and not mixed with other lubricants.
MICROFLUX TRANS® registered trademark of a patented Castrol additive combination for performing surface engineering in tribological systems.
Usage
For all grease lubricated applications at temperatures from -60°C/-76°F to +120°C+248°F.
For antifriction and plain bearings, sliding surfaces for long-term or lifetime lubrication at low temperatures.
For bearings running at high speeds (approx. 1,000,000 Dn factor).
For high speed spindle bearings (spinning and grinding machines).
Castrol Optitemp TT1 EP is recommended for friction surfaces exposed to extreme loads or where emergency running properties are required.
Cost-benefit offered by MICROFLUX TRANSŪ additive technology
extended lifetime of machine elements and wear parts, lower maintenance and labor costs by minimized wear and friction
-full load operation within shortest time, virtually eliminating the running-in period
lower costs for lubricants and waste oil disposal because of significant extensions of both service life and relubrication intervals
energy savings due to reduced coefficient of friction, lower temperature of lubricant and component, improvement in operating efficiency
product consolidation, i.e., simplification and reduction of lubes and spare parts
reduction of noise resulting from high frequency stick-slip for "life" lubrication in some applications.
