Description
Castrol RustiloTM 450 is a corrosion preventive grease containing cold flow enhancers and temperature resistant
additives.
Application
Rustilo 450 is specifically designed for application to overhead line conductors operating under ‘high temperature '
conditions. This is defined by certain standards as meaning temperature up to and including 150oC.
It used to be applied during the wire stranding process to steel cored aluminum overhead conductor cables. These
cables are likely to have a life-span in excess of 20 years and be subjected to all weather conditions.
Rustilo 450 has good low temperature characteristics remaining flexible down to -20oC without any tendency to
crack or flake.
Advantages
Unique multi-metal corrosion inhibition system - extends conductor life and eliminates galvanic corrosion Cold
flow enhancers - ensure ease of cold application and effective fill of interstices.
• Ease of use - no need to store or pump molten grease.
• Reliable performance - stays in place in the cable.
• Temperature resistant additives - provide cable protection over wide temperature range.
Removal
If required Rustilo 450 can be removed by using a petroleum solvent or suitable alkaline process cleaner, all
