Castrol Alpha™ SP 220 is a high-quality mineral-based industrial gear oil formulated with advanced extreme pressure (EP) additive technology. It is specifically designed to provide excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and superior load-carrying capacity. The EP additives offer microscopic wear protection, also known as micropitting protection, which is crucial for extending gear life and meeting the demands of modern high-output gearboxes.
Key Features:
-
Extreme Pressure Performance: Protects gears against wear and shock-loading, as demonstrated by FZG performance tests.
-
Micropitting Protection: Offers microscopic wear protection to prevent destructive wear at the micro level.
-
Clean Gear Technology: Minimizes deposit formation, ensuring clean gear operation.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability and Oxidation Resistance: Prolongs oil life and reduces maintenance costs.
-
Good Water Separation and Demulsification: Ensures effective separation of water, maintaining lubricant performance.
-
High Corrosion and Wear Protection: Guards against rust and corrosion, extending equipment life.
-
Compatibility: Suitable for use with ferrous and non-ferrous metals and common seal materials.
