TRIBOL® DELIVERS ADAPTIVE PROTECTION FOR INCREASED RELIABILITY
You rely on your manufacturing machinery in order to stay competitive, so its efficiency, reliability and longevity are all essential to business success. Yet with today’s plants employing more complex machinery than ever, the challenge of keeping every chain, bearing, valve, conveyor, compressor, crane and hydraulic system effectively lubricated is overwhelming.
Up to 60% of mechanical failures are lubricant-related. That’s why Castrol® Tribol has been specially formulated to help increase the operational life of equipment by adapting to even the most difficult operating environments.
ADAPTIVE MACHINERY LUBRICATION MEANS EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY
Castrol® Tribol is an advanced industrial grease range formulated with Microflux Trans Plastic Deformation (MFT-PD) technology. This means that its active molecules can adapt to the differing needs of multiple operating conditions.
MFT-PD works by creating a protective film before friction occurs, which then actively diffuses into exposed metal surfaces under extreme conditions of pressure, vibration and shock, creating a micro-smoothing layer for optimal wear protection.
In doing so, Tribol delivers reduced maintenance costs, productivity improvements and lower operating temperatures: all of which contribute to increased reliability and lower cost of ownership.
BRAYCO®: PROVEN STABILITY FROM OUTER SPACE TO THE OCEAN FLOOR
Extreme environments place extreme demands on everything from subsea pumps to space-borne solar panel bearings. Operating and maintaining high performance machinery in places like this is a high risk, high cost undertaking, where failure is not an option.
The Brayco range features a world-leading choice of synthetic oils and greases that are proven to perform in extreme environments: increasing the lifespan of crucial equipment and delivering reliable performance in every critical application.
BRAYCO: WHEREVER EQUIPMENT IS PUSHED TO THE LIMIT
Outer space presents just as many lubricant challenges as the depths of the sea. That’s why the Brayco range includes low outgassing and low volatility lubricants that are proven to virtually eliminate lubricant outgassing.
At the same time, the Brayco range includes Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricants that are ideal for vacuum, cleanroom and reactive chemical environments and applications, as well as formulations for deep sea applications that actually absorb low levels of seawater and carry it away from sensitive components.
Wherever equipment is pushed to the extreme, there is a Brayco lubricant to help maximize its reliability.
SYNTILO®: COMBATING EXTREME HEAT WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Whether you are milling, drilling, grinding or honing, high speed machining generates temperatures in excess of 1000ºC at the cutting edge. This creates a multitude of cooling and lubrication issues, all leading to component and tooling damage.
You need lubrication with the coolant properties of water to ensure high performance at the cutting edge. Yet you are also under pressure to reduce tooling and fluid costs, while maintaining operator safety and reducing environmental impacts. Castrol® Syntilo enables you to help make all of that happen.
HIGH PERFORMANCE AT HIGH SPEEDS. SYNTILO HELPS MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Castrol® Syntilo is water-soluble, to combine the lubrication qualities of a neat oil with the cooling properties of water. This ensures that it can reduce extreme temperatures while lubricating at the cutting edge.
When you need to achieve high speed performance with better finishing and extended tool life, we help make it happen.
OPTIGEAR: ADVANCED GEAR OILS TO HELP REDUCE LEVELIZED COSTS
Gearbox friction is a problem in many industries, but particularly in the energy generation sector. High loads create friction, leading to thermal stress on essential components. This propagates wear and pitting, reducing the operational efficiency of every gearbox.
OPTIGEAR ACTIVELY ADJUSTS TO CHANGING CONDITIONS
Castrol® Optigear is liquid engineered with MTF plastic deformation technology, with active molecules that enable it to adapt to changing conditions such as increased vibration in wind turbines.
This is proven to lower the coefficient of friction by up to 60% compared to standard gear oils, helping to reduce gearbox operating temperatures and actively resist wear and pitting.
Whether you need to reduce the levelized cost of energy or increase the efficiency of a manufacturing plant, low friction Optigear helps make it happen.
ALUSOL: PRECISION MACHINING FROM THE FIRST CUT
There is an increasing demand to manufacture accurate, lightweight components with tight tolerances. This is driving the use of aluminium or aluminium alloys.
But aluminium is notoriously difficult to machine precisely. When aluminium builds up at the cutting point, quality is immediately compromised. That’s a serious problem for productivity and profitability.
CASTROL ALUSOL HELPS YOU TO STOP ALUMINIUM BUILD-UP
Our carefully balanced formulation delivers lubricity additive between the tool edge and the work piece to prevent aluminium build up at the tool, even at lower concentrations.
So Castrol Alusol achieves precise machining of even complex aluminium components and excellent surface finish from the very first cut – even with the new generation of aluminium alloys.
