Castrol Tribol GR 1350-2.5 PD High performance bearing grease 18kg

Castrol Tribol™ GR 1350-2.5 PD (previously called Optipit™) is a lithium soap based High performance bearing grease (NLGI Klasse 2-3) with an extremely high viscosity base oil containing the advanced MicroFlux Trans (MFT) additive package.ApplicationTribol GR 1350-2.5 PD is especially suited for rolling and sliding bearings in dusty and humid environments. It builds a stable grease collar at the bearing edges, supporting the seals to prevent penetration of dirt, water and other contaminations. Tribol GR 1350-2.5 PD enables a hydrodynamic lubricating film even at low speeds. Developed for the lubricantation of anti-friction and plain bearings running at low speeds which require extremely high oil viscosity, or operate in wet and dusty atmospheres found in applications such as:Mining, especially open-pit miningThe steel industry/tube mills under heavy shock loads and vibrationEquipment exposed to sea water, in harbours, and on ships and drilling platformsYaw gear on wind turbinesCharacteristicsThe MFT 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 micro-smoothing of the friction surfaces.Under severe load, components of the MFT additive combination are activated, initiating an improvement of surface friction characteristics through plastic deformation.The products of that organic reation become a component of the tribopolymer system.Unlike the case with conventional lubricants, the tribopolymers formed by MFT are long-chained compounds with excellent lubricity and adhesion.This means that the load carrying area is improved and a hydrodynamic lubrication film is easier to maintain.This unique physio-chemical reaction achieves a non-sacrificial micro-smoothing of the friction surfacesAdvantagesWater and dirt repellent – the grease is still effective in adverse environmentsHigh load bearing capacity – enables the extension of operationg periods even under high loads whilst still maintaing optimum wear protection.Establishes a protective layer of MFT – this additive system can effectively increase the load bearing area, therefore reducing unit pressures, operating temperatures and wear which can increase service life of both parts and lubricantImproved bearing surfaces for longer service life result from the ‘running in’ effect of MFTExtremely low coefficients of friction – energy savings and reduced noise levelsGood adhesion due to high oil viscosity – the film coating stays on the surfaceReduction of running-in periodTechnical specificationsAppearance: BrownThickener type: LithiumBase oil:  Mineral oilConsistency NLGI Grade: 2.5Density @ 20 °C/68 °F  kg/m³: 905Worked Penetration (60 strokes @ 25 °C/77 °F): 245-275Base Oil Viscosity @ 40 °C/104 °F: 2900Dropping point °C/°F: max. 250/max. 482Flow pressure @ -20 °C/-4 °F hPa: 950 – 1350Water Resistance @ 90 °C Rating : 1Volume: 18 kgAlso available in: 1kg can, 5kg bucket, 50kg barrelGLIS number: 15C8CDMSDS code: 468673Castrol Tribol GR 1350 2.5 PD, Castrol Tribol GR1350-2.5 PD Information on product safety (Manufacturer, Contact)BP Europa SE, Erkelenzer Straße 20, 41179 Mönchengladbach, GERMANY, +49 800 7235 074, , www.bp.com
