CASTROL TRIBOL 290/150

CastroI Tribol™ CH 290 (previously called Tribol™ 290) is a range of conveyor lubricants formulated with premium synthetic fluids. The Range is designed to lubricate conveyor chains and open trolley wheel bearings in high temperature paint ovens found in the automotive and metal decorating industries. Tribol CH 290 is based on water soluble and synthetic fluids known for their natural lubricating ability, favourable volatility characteristics and chemical and thermal stability. An advanced additive system provides additional Anti-Wear and Extreme Pressure characteristics under boundary conditions, for protection from surging loads and extreme oven temperatures. Application Tribol CH 290 lubricates any chain and open trolley bearings where compatibility with water-based paints and coatings is critical. The Range is usually recommended for oven temperatures from 150°C (302°F) to 220°C (428°F). At elevated temperatures, reapply more frequently rather than increase the amount applied. Tribol CH 290 is most suitable for automotive production lines, which usually include cathodic electro-deposition, waterbased painting (coating), then drying and curing in an oven. Typically, these operations include immersing parts into baths from moving overhead conveyors. Contamination from dripping lubricant is always a threat to production and process baths. However, should Tribol CH 290 ever drip into a water base process bath, it would dissolve and disperse, preventing accumulation and the disruption of coatings or electrodepositions. Advantages Compatible with most e-coat process and most water-based paints - avoids lubricant-related 'lish eyes' and craters, reducing rework and refinishing costs Low volatility - allows reduced application/consumption, reduces the potential for contamination from drip or fling-off, and decreases costs relating to soiled merchandise Excellent wetting and adhesive properties - allows for fast, thorough penetration to load zones and minimises tendency to drip Anti-wear (AW) and Extreme Pressure (EP) characteristics - helps extend the useful life of the chain by providing contact zone friction and wear protection
