Description
Castrol Alphasyn™ T 150
Product Description
Castrol Alphasyn™ T 150 is a premium synthetic industrial gear lubricant formulated using polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and advanced sulphur/phosphorus anti-wear additive technology. It is designed for enclosed gear systems, bearings, circulating systems, and slow-moving gears operating under light to medium loads and elevated temperatures. The lubricant provides excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and long service life.
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent thermal and oxidative stability for extended oil life
- High viscosity index for reliable performance across a wide temperature range
- Good anti-wear and load-carrying capability
- Excellent low-temperature fluidity
- Good water separation and demulsibility characteristics
- Compatible with nitrile, silicone, and fluoropolymer seals
- Helps reduce wear and maintenance costs and improve equipment reliability.
Typical Applications
- Enclosed industrial gearboxes
- Bearings and circulating lubrication systems
- Hydraulic systems operating at elevated temperatures
- Large, slow-moving gears
- Industrial equipment requiring an ISO VG 150 synthetic lubricant
Not recommended for heavily loaded or shock-loaded gear systems.
