Castrol Molub-Alloy OG 8031 (NLGI-00) (6000) [400-lb./181.44-kg. Drum] 157FCB

CastroI Molub-Alloy ® OG 8031/6000 is a high viscosity gel formulated lubricant designed to lubricate large heavily loaded open gears. The gel technology adds body to the base fluid to form an ultra-high viscosity lubricant (@ 40ºC/ 104ºF 10,200 mm2/s approx.) to withstand heavy loads and cushions shock loadings commonly found in open gear applications. A proprietary blend of Molub-Alloy solids working synergistically with chemical reactive extreme pressure (EP) and antiwear (AW) additives combine to reduce contact temperatures and wear while providing excellent anti-weld protection under extreme pressure and shock loading. The thixotropic nature of Molub-Alloy OG 8031 allows friction to be reduced to a minimum and aids in its ability to be applied by standard spray systems or used in splash or idler immersion systems. Once applied to the gear surface the Molub-Alloy OG 8031 forms a thick tenacious semi-transparent film on the gear tooth that can be inspected by strobe light during operations. Molub-Alloy OG 8031/6000 has a good pumpability properties at lower temperatures compared to other grades within the range.

Features

• Formulated to minimize distribution line plugging tendency – minimises the potential for eventual plugging of the lubricant distribution lines commonly associated with conventional greases
• Readily pumpable and slumpable for good lubricant distribution – good lubricant distribution in enclosed and semi-enclosed applications, and drainable for ease of removal from surrounding guards
• Specifically formulated to flush contaminants from gear and pinion flanks, and to resist accumulation in the roots of gear teeth
• Highly thixotropic – exhibits a stable form at rest but becomes a fluid when agitated therefore will not run off the gear teeth. However, it will still spread easily and evenly since the gel-like lubricant liquefies when pressure is applied, carrying away both heat and contaminants
• Formulated to address environmental concerns - free of solvents, lead, antimony and barium
