CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY 860/460-2 ES

Castrol Molub-Alloy™ 860 ES greases are high-performance multi-service lithium greases formulated from premium petroleum base oils, lubricating solids and a combination of corrosion inhibitors specifically chosen for protection against corrosive process waters. These are designed to extend the service life of bearings in heavy-duty applications and at elevated temperatures. Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases provide an appropriate oil film for applications at slower to moderate speeds, higher loads, and/or higher temperatures sustained for longer periods of time. The load-carrying and anti-wear capabilities of Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases exceeds conventional complex greases. Highperformance is the result of chemical additives working synergistically with select Molub-Alloy lubricating solids which are dispersed uniformly throughout the grease. The lubricating solids offer their greatest benefit at slow speeds or when bearings endure heavy loads and shocks. Solids also protect newly machined bearing surfaces during the critical period of 'running in'. Good bearing surfaces are essential for long service life. Application Molub-Alloy 860/460 ES greases should be used when loads are heavy, temperatures are elevated (up to 204ºC/400ºF) and speeds are slow, such applications include anti-friction bearings, bushings, sheaves and couplings. Primary industry, including steel - use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases near hot ingots, soaking pits and reheat furnaces to lubricate pit cover carriages, mill stand screws, slipper couplings, roll bearings, manipulators and guide rolls for continuous casters. Paper Industry - on paper machines, use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases on the 'wet end' couch, suction, and press roll bearings where water wash, corrosive process waters and high temperatures are present. Mining, construction, onshore drilling and offshore installations where heavily loaded slow speed applications subjected to shock loading in extreme environments. Features and Benefits Excellent friction reduction characteristics due to Molub-Alloy solid lubricants - easier start-up, reduced heat and reduced energy leading to longer bearing life. Exceptional water resistance - coating film stays on the surface even in the presence of water, even when exposed to the action of hot and chemically active process water. Excellent EP and anti-wear properties - protects equipment against extreme/shock loading and helps minimise bearing component wear and hence extends equipment life. Excellent mechanical stability and adhesion - grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long-term protection and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces. Outstanding oxidation/thermal stability and high dropping point - provides reliable performance and extended lubricant life in high-temperature applications. Formulated to address environmental concerns - it is free of antimony, barium, lead and zinc.
