Castrol Alphasyn PG 460
High Performance Synthetic Gear Oil (PAG – ISO VG 460)
Product Description
Castrol Alphasyn PG 460 is a premium fully synthetic industrial gear oil based on polyalkylene glycol (PAG) technology, formulated for use in highly loaded gear systems, particularly worm gear applications.
It provides excellent load-carrying capability, low friction characteristics, and outstanding thermal stability, making it ideal for applications where efficiency, durability, and long service life are required.
Features and Benefits
High Efficiency Performance
Low traction properties reduce friction losses, improving energy efficiency in gear systems.
Excellent Wear Protection
Provides outstanding protection against wear, scuffing, and micro-pitting.
Superior Thermal & Oxidation Stability
Resists oil degradation at high temperatures, enabling extended drain intervals.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Maintains consistent performance across varying temperatures.
High Load Carrying Capacity
Suitable for heavily loaded gears, especially worm gears.
Applications
Castrol Alphasyn PG 460 is recommended for:
- Worm gearboxes (primary application)
- Heavy-duty industrial enclosed gear systems
- Bearings operating under high loads and temperatures
- Gear systems requiring PAG-based lubricants
- Applications where energy efficiency and extended oil life are critical
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Not miscible with mineral oils or PAO synthetics
- Systems should be flushed before conversion
- Compatibility with seals and paints should be checked
Specifications & Performance Level
Typically meets or exceeds:
- DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP performance level)
- ISO 12925-1 Type CKE
- Suitable for high-performance industrial gear applications
