Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1300/220 High-performance gear oil 208L

Castrol Optigear Synthetic ™ 1300/220 synthetic gear oils have been developed for the lubrication of highly loaded gears (ISO VG 220), especially worm gears as well as bearings even when subjected to high operating temperatures. They differ from gear oils based on mineral oils in the following characteristics: they feature excellent oxidation resistance (even at high temperatures), an outstanding shearing stability and a good viscosity-temperature behaviour. ApplicationFor all types of gears used in severe applications, especially worm gears and circulating systems that lubricate gears, journals, and anti-friction bearings. Recommended for use where oil and reservoir temperatures are unusually high.Optigear Synthetic 1300 gear oils are especially suited for the lubrication of worm gears with steel/bronze combinations. Also for the lubrication of spur, bevel and planetary gears. Formulated using polyglycol base fluids chosen for their chemical and thermal stability and compatibility with metals and elastomers typically found in machine components. Compatible with most seals except neoprene, butadiene-mixed polymers, polystyrene-butadiene or methacrylate elastomer materials.AdvantagesIn worm gears the coefficients of friction are reduced due to the polyglycol base oils and the wear rates are lowered owing to the optimum additive packageThey feature a high scuffing load capacity and an excellent wear protection: in the FZG test (A/8.3/90) they reach the damage load stage of > 12High load-carrying capacityExcellent extreme pressure performanceLong service lifeSuitable for use over a wide range of temperaturesTechnical specificationsISO Viscosity: 220Density @ 15°C / 59°F ASTM D4052 / ISO 12185 kg/m³: 1070 Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C / 104°F ASTM D 445 / ISO 3104 mm²/s: 220Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C / 212°F ASTM D 445 / ISO 3104 mm²/s: 36,4 Viscosity Index ASTM D2270 / ISO 2909: 218 Flash Point – open cup method ASTM D92 / ISO 2592 °C: >240Pour Point ASTM D97 / ISO 3016 °C: -36Volume: 208l barrelAlso available in: 20l canisterGLIS number: 15EDB0MSDS code: 468648Optigear Synthetic 1300 220, Optigear Synthetic 1300-220 Information on product safety (Manufacturer, Contact)BP Europa SE, Erkelenzer Straße 20, 41179 Mönchengladbach, GERMANY, +49 800 7235 074, , www.bp.com
