Castrol Optileb GR 9830 High-temperature bearing grease NLGI-2 1kg

Castrol Optileb™ GR 9830 (previously called Molub-Alloy™ Foodproof 9830) is a special high-temperature grease (NLGI grade 2) formulated from a synthetic oil and solid lubricants (PTFE), developed for the lubrication of rolling and sliding bearings. The grease is excellently suited for high-temperature applications in the food and beverage industries where minimum lubricant consumption, drip-free lubrication and physiological safety are required. It can also be used as a safety sliding agent for oxygen installations.ApplicationEspecially suited for applications in baking and drying ovens in the food and canning industries.Due to its low volatility, is also suited for vacuum applications, e.g. coating installations.May be used in continuous service up to 250°C and be exposed to temperatures up to 280°C for short-time applications.AdvantagesAging resistance at high temperaturesThermal and chemical stabilityResistant to most solvents, even chlorinated hydrocarbons, strong acids, alkalis and oxidizing agents, e.g.: acetone, benzene, benzol, boron trifluoride, bromine, chlorine, chlorobenzene, cyclohexane, dioxan, natural gas, ethylene acetate, fluorine, halogens, potassium hydroxide, methylene chloride, methyl formiate, sodium hydroxide, perchloro-ethylene, petroleum ether, hydrochloric and sulphuric acid, tetrahydrofurane, toluol, 1.1.1. trichlorethane, trichlorethylene, xylolExcellent lubricating properties – as measured by standard laboratory tests and extensive field evaluationsExtended relubrication intervals without undue risk of lubricant starvation or increased lubricant consumptionBelow 280°C the lubricant resists the thickening and hardening which is typical of mineral oil products in hightemperature applicationsMinimum consumption, economic application and clean operating conditionsCompatible with the following sealing materials: NBR, EPDM, NR, MWQ, PVMQ, PA, PE, PUR, PTFEPhysiologically safe; approval by LGA (Bavaria)Technical specificationsColour: WhiteDensity @ 15°C / 59°F  kg/m³: 1930Worked Penetration (60 strokes @ 25°C / 77°F)  0.1 mm: 265-295Thickener type: PTFEBase Oil Viscosity @ 40°C / 104°F  mm²/s: 510Base Oil Viscosity @ 100°C / 212°F  mm²/s: 46Base Oil Viscosity @ 200°C / 392°F  mm²/s: 6.5Viscosity Index: 135Flash Point – open cup method  °C/°F: non-flammablePour Point °C/°F: -20/-4Volume: 1kg tinGLIS number: 15D691MSDS code: 468605Additional InformationClean-up may be difficult because of the excellent resistance to ordinary cleaners and solvents. Use special solvents.Where lubricants may come in contact with products (e.g. food, textiles etc.) good effective sealing and handling procedures should be maintained.At continuous operating temperatures above 250°C, very small amounts of toxic vapors may develop due to chemical changes; forced draft ventilation is then necessaryCastrol Optileb GR-9830, Optileb GR9830 Information on product safety (Manufacturer, Contact)BP Europa SE, Erkelenzer Straße 20, 41179 Mönchengladbach, GERMANY, +49 800 7235 074, , www.bp.com
