Description
The Castrol Molub-Alloy™ 8031 range are based on a high viscosity base oil gel formulated with a non-soap,
inorganic thickening system. They contain a high viscosity base fluid especially designed to provide extreme
pressure (EP) and anti-wear characteristics to the lubricant.
A proprietary blend of Molub-Alloy lubricating solids is included to promote anti-wear and load carrying properties
beyond those of conventional lubricants. Molub-Alloy lubricating solids work synergistically with chemical antiwear and extreme pressure (EP) additives to reduce contact temperatures and wear while providing the ultimate
in anti-weld protection under extreme pressure and shock loading.
Application
Molub-Alloy 8031 is designed to lubricate heavily loaded open gears, screw type actuators, and low to moderate
velocity bushings and bearings equipped with centralised or sump type lubrication systems.
This range is recommended for use in open gear applications in cement, mining and any other industries,
requiring anti-scuff and anti-wear protection and where no product build up is desired. It is also suited for units
containing bushings, bearings and/or gears where ISO 1500, 3000 or 6000 viscosity grade lubricant is required,
but straight fluid lubricants leak out.
Advantages
• Formulated to minimise distribution line plugging tendency – minimises the potential for eventual plugging of the
lubricant distribution lines commonly associated with conventional greases
• Readily pumpable and slumpable for good lubricant distribution – good lubricant distribution in enclosed and
semi-enclosed applications, and drainable for ease of removal from surrounding guards. This product is also
specifically formulated to flush contaminants from gear and pinion flanks, and to resist accumulation in the roots of
gear teeth
• Highly thixotropic – exhibits a stable form at rest but becomes a fluid when agitated therefore will not run off the
gear teeth. However it will still spread easily and evenly, since the gel-like lube ‘liquefies’ when pressure is applied
carrying away both heat and contaminants
• Formulated to address environmental concerns - free of solvents, lead, antimony, and barium.
