CASTROL LubeCon Series 663 Lubricant

Description

Castrol LubeCon Series 663 is a fully synthetic fluid specifically formulated for use in machinery and on conveyors

found in cathodic electro depostion (Electro coat) processes, painting, and high temperature drying and curing.

This fluid is compatible with most water-based paints and coatings including water-based cathodic dip coatings to

prevent cratering and surface disruption. The base fluids have been specially selected to provide Low Volatility to

retain fluid-film in applications subjected to high temperatures, Anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP)

characteristics to protect contacting surfaces. A synergistic combination of lubrication equipment and premium

lubricant provides positive and precise lubrication with maximum protection over a temperature range of –20°F to

500°F.

LubeCon Series 663 is a blend of select, water soluble, synthetic fluids known for their natural lubricity. The base

fluids are selected for favorable volatility characteristics, high viscosity indices and chemical and thermal stability

(very high viscosity index). An advanced additive system provides additional anti-wear and extreme pressure

characteristics under boundary conditions. Inhibitors further enhance the synthetic fluid’s naturally high

temperature to oxidation. LubeCon Series 663 is engineered for optimized application by LubeCon equipment

allowing for precise amounts of the fluid to be directed to the lube points at the right time, every time. Series 663

offers an essentially dry, residual lubricating film that provides exceptional protection at elevated temperatures due

to the synthetic base fluid.

Application

LubeCon Series 663 is used to lubricate machinery where compatibility with water-based paints and coatings is

critical. LubeCon Series 663 is most suitable for automotive production lines that usually include cathodic electro

deposition, water-based 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. Should LubeCon Series

663 ever drip into a water based process bath, it would dissolve and disperse preventing accumulation and the

disruption of coatings or electro depositions.

Advantages

Compatibility with the Electro coat process and most water-based paints elminates lubricant-related “fish eyes“and

craters, reducing rework and refinishing costs.
