Description
Castrol Alphasyn™ HTX 1000
Product Description
Castrol Alphasyn™ HTX 1000 is a premium synthetic high-temperature gear lubricant formulated with Polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and advanced sulphur/phosphorus anti-wear technology. It is designed for enclosed gear systems, bearings, and circulating systems operating at elevated temperatures where extended lubricant life and reliable performance are required.
Key Features & Benefits
- Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability
- Extended oil service life compared with conventional mineral oils
- Excellent load-carrying and anti-wear performance
- High viscosity index for wide operating temperature capability
- Excellent water separation and demulsibility characteristics
- Low-temperature fluidity despite high viscosity grade
- Compatible with nitrile, silicone, and fluoropolymer seals
- Helps reduce maintenance costs and equipment downtime.
Typical Applications
- Enclosed industrial gearboxes
- High-temperature circulating systems
- Industrial bearings operating at elevated temperatures
- Paper mills, steel plants, mining equipment, and heavy industrial machinery
- Applications requiring ISO VG 1000 synthetic gear oil
Not recommended for heavily shock-loaded gear systems.
