Castrol Optigear BM 100 High performance gear oil CLP 20L canister

Castrol Optigear™ BM 100 is a mineral oil-based solid-free high performance gear oil (CLP, ISO VG 100). Wear problems such as abrasion, surface fatigue (pitting) or problems during the running-in phase are solved. Compatible with non-ferrous metals.ApplicationFor gears and bearings operating under normal to extreme conditions.Extreme pressure additives make Optigear BM suitable where there is a need to maintain high load carrying capacity while protecting against scuffing and shock loading.Optigear BM 68 and BM 220 can also be used as slideway oils subject to a metalworking fluid compatibility check.Specifications / ApprovalsDIN 51517-3 (CLP gear oils)AdvantagesTests have shown a reduction in the coefficient of friction of up to 60% over conventional oils without PDtechnology¹ which can deliver energy savings, lower lubricant and component temperatures and improve operational efficiencyIn laboratory tests Castrol PD additives were shown to prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears. Non-PD oils used in pre-damaged gears showed existing wear levels increased up to three times²Smoothing existing gear damage reduces the cost of repairs and replacements and improves operating efficiency by increasing equipment reliabilityFriction, heat and vibration are reducedOil with Castrol PD additives provides superior protection with wear levels of less than half those observed in tests with conventional non-PD oil³ to help extend planned gear and bearing lifeExtended lubricant service life and relubrication intervals can help to reduce costs and waste oil disposalFull load operation is achieved in a short time, virtually eliminating the running-in periodOptigear BM 68 and BM 220 CGLP slideway oils.

However, maximum performance is onlyguaranteed if not mixed with any other product.Compatible with non-ferrous metals.Compatible with most paints and conventional sealing materialsMechanical cleaning with all known filtering installations and separators possibleProduct description Castrol Optigear™ BM seriesCastrol Optigear™ BM is a range of high-performance extreme pressure gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related problems in heavily loaded industrial gears and bearings.Optigear BM is formulated with Castrol’s Microflux Trans (MFT) Plastic Deformation (PD) additive. MFT PD helps improve performance when operating temperature and loads  each a certain level of activation energy, by enabling the microsmoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear. The smoothed surface delivers optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction, especially in applications which experience extreme pressure, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds. MFT PD helps to protect against scuffing and shock loading, while maintaining a high load carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears. Specific grades within the Optigear BM range meet the requirements of DIN 51517 part 3 CLP and the requirements of a wide range of industrial bodies and equipment manufacturers. Oils are formulated with detergent additives.Optigear BM 68 and BM 220 are also classified as CGLP oils (DIN 51502). Hazard Information (CLP)Signal word: Warning.Hazard StatementsH317 – May cause an allergic skin reaction.H412 – Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.Precautionary StatementsPrevention:P280 – Wear protective gloves.P273 – Avoid release to the environment.P261 – Avoid breathing vapors.Response:P362 + P364 – Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.P302 + P352 – IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water and soap.P333 + P313 – If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.Storage and DisposalP501 – Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations.Additional InformationUFI: FEY0-C03J-Q009-06A3Compliant with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex II, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/878. Information on product safety (Manufacturer, Contact)BP Europa SE, Erkelenzer Straße 20, 41179 Mönchengladbach, GERMANY, +49 800 7235 074, , www.bp.com
