Castrol Viscogen KL 3 High temperature chain lubricant 20l canister

Castrol Viscogen KL 3 High temperature chain lubricant ISO VG 32Castrol Viscogen™ KL range are thermally stable synthetic lubricants designed for high temperature lubrication in severe environments, where the use of mineral oils or conventional synthetic oils would result in excessive wear, carbonisation and residue formation. They can be used up to temperatures of +240°C/+464°F, depending on the viscosity. Viscogen KL have been developed from base fluids which form exceptionally adherent, transparent and odourless lubricating films and an additive system free of solids, metals or silicone which enhances load carrying capability and wear protection.ApplicationViscogen KL is available in six different viscosities depending on the ambient and operating conditions.The dimensions of the chain as well as its structural shape (e.g. roller, pin, ladder chains, insertion and flat link hoisting chains) are important when selecting the right viscosity. The way the lubricant is applied must also be considered e.g. manual lubrication, drip feed lubricator, central lubrication, sump lubrication or via spray can. Viscogen KL finds use in many industrial applications, for example: High-rack storage shelves, bakery machines, paint lines, conveyor chains, tenter frames and dryers, washing plants, underfloor chains, steamers, slashers, baking ovens, slide ways, spindles, ropes, open gear wheels, plastic toothed belts and sheet-fed offset machines. AdvantagesExtremely low evaporation rate, low residue formation and low smoke generation at high temperatures – enabling reduced maintenance, reduced lubricant consumption and better working environments.High load carrying ability under severe mechanical loads and high temperatures as well as excellent penetration on chains and wire rope strands – leading to longer chain life.No dripping or throwing off at high speeds or high temperatures – giving reduced lubricant consumption.Excellent rust protection, extraordinary oxidation resistance and no hard carbon build up – leading to longer chain life and reduced maintenance.Technical specificationsColour: greenBase Oil: Synthetic oilDensity at 15°C: 948 kg/m3Viscosity at 40°C: 31Viscosity at 100°C: 6Flash Point – open cup method: 230°CPour Point: -60°CVolume: 20l canisterAlso available in: 208l barrelGLIS number: 14E317MSDS code: 450767 Information on product safety (Manufacturer, Contact)BP Europa SE, Erkelenzer Straße 20, 41179 Mönchengladbach, GERMANY, +49 800 7235 074, , www.bp.com
