CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000 fluid grease with TGOA® was designed for applications which require goodpumpability of the lubricant and properties to withstand heavy loads. In gear units which are not sealed oil-tightand in large slow-speed bearings the CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000 grease provides for a sufficientlubricating film due to their high base oil viscosity.
The TGOA® additive package outperforms all other EP and antiwear additives because of its unique action onfrictional surfaces.
CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000 has a lithium soap as thickener. The base oils are high-viscosity mineraloils forming a stable lubricant film to withstand high continuous loads, shock loads and vibrations.
The TGOA® additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding temperatures causinga chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion.
The results of the TGOA® additives can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The surfaceroughnesses are gradually leveled and smoothed.
Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over increasing areas and the actual loadcarrying areas are enlarged. During the running-in process, the TGOA® additive package creates an optimumof smooth contact surfaces.
If, because of shock loads, or stop-and-go operation, surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA® additives are automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again equalized and lubrication optimized.
Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors maximize effective rust protection and long life of the grease.
CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000 meets NLGI consistency grades commonly available for these types oflubricants.
Applications: Typical applications for CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000-0 fluid greases are non-oil-tight gear units, rolling and sliding bearings, bushings, slides and general lubrication designed for fluid-grease lubrication. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +120°C.
