Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is a heavy duty, nonsolvent containing
multiservice lubricant designed for use on heavy duty shovels, walking
draglines, blast hole drills and haul trucks. It is formulated to withstand the most
severe environments. In open pit mining, this may include extreme heat and
dust in summer as well as the included weather of winter.
Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is part of Castrol Performance
Lubricants ' Eco-Solutions ™ product offering. Formed to address
environmental concerns, Castrol Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is free of lead,
antimony, zinc, barium, and chlorinated solvents. No solvents of any kind are
used in 968 SF Medium.
Description
A highly refinanced, viscous, paraffinic petroleum derivative is the foundation of a
blended base fluid with excellent natural chemical and thermal stability. Castrol
Molub-Alloy 968 SF Medium is composed to flow ready in the film-forming
process; yet it resistes "squeeze-out" and clips tenaciously even to gear teeth in
vertical orientation.
A proprietary blend of Castrol Molub-Alloy lubricating solids is included to
promote antiwear and load carrying properties beyond those of conventional
lubricants. The select lubricating solids work synergistically with chemical
antiwear and extreme pressure (EP) additions to reduce contact temperatures
while providing excellent antiweld protection under extreme pressure and shock
loading.
Rust and oxidation inhibitors are included in the formulation to protect the
equipment and lubricating film against the elements in several climates. The
select grade and size distribution of the lubricating solids are intended to
provide 968 SF Medium with multiservice characteristics to include applications
from heavy duty open gears to antifriction and journal bearings.
