CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020-2 grease with TGOA® was designed for very heavy duty service in adverse environments. Through their formulation and advanced TGOA® additive system they are able to withstand the shock and heavy loading commonly found in the processing of primary metals as well as in cement, construction and mining industries.
The high base oil viscosity provides a sufficient lube film (Kappa, Lambda value) also in large bearings with slow speed. TGOA® is an additive package designed to reduce friction while providing surface protection and improvement. The TGOA® additive package outperforms all other EP and antiwear additives because of its unique action an frictional surfaces.
In consideration of possible adverse effects an the environment, no materials of expressed concern (i.e. lead, barium, zinc) are used in manufacturing of CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020-2.
CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020-2 grease has a lithium soap as thickener. The base oils are high viscosity mineral oils forming a stable lube film to withstand high continuous loads, shock loads and vibrations.
The TGOA® additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding temperatures causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in a smoothing of surface roughness without creating adhesive wear (cold-welding).
The results of the TGOA® additives can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The surface roughness are gradually leveled and smoothed.
Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over increasing areas and the actual load carrying areas are enlarged.
During the running-in process, the TGOA® additive package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces.
If, because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA® additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed down and lubrication optimized.
Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors maximize effective rust protection and long life of the grease.
Typical applications for CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000-2 is in rolling and sliding bearings, bushings, slides and general lubrication, especially where loads may be quite high and speeds low.
Application of CASTROL TRIBOL® 3020/1000-2 may be made manually with grease guns or automatic dispensing systems.
Temperature operating range from - 30 °C to + 120 °C.
