CASTROL Tribol GR 100-0 PD

Description

Castrol Tribol™ GR 100 PD (previously called Longtime™ PD) is a range of lithium based greases containing highly

refined mineral oils, enhanced with the MicroFlux Trans (MFT) additive system.

The MFT additive technology provides optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction even under

extremes of pressure, vibration, shock loads, at high or low speeds or varying micro-smoothing of the friction surfaces.

Under severe load, components of the MFT additive combination are activated, initiating an improvement of surface

friction characteristics through plastic deformation. The products of that organic reation become a component of the

tribopolymer system.

Unlike the case with conventional lubricants, the tribopolymers formed by MFT are long-chained compounds with

excellent lubricity and adhesion. This means that the load carrying area is improved and a hydrodynamic lubrication film

is easier to maintain. This unique physio-chemical reaction achieves a non-sacrificial micro-smoothing of the friction

surfaces.

Application

The Tribol GR 100 PD Range can be used for long term lubrication even under the most difficult operating conditions

such as extreme pressure, vibrations, shock loads and a wide temperature range (-35°C to 140°C / -31°F to 284°F) in

highly loaded rolling and sliding bearings. Typical applications include bearings of spinning and grinding spindles, gear

motors exposed to shock loads, screening / wood shaping machines and bearing surfaces of printing plates.

These greases are also suitable for bearings with a rotating outer ring and undergoing high stresses due to centrifugal

load. Examples are spreader rolls, roll neck bearings in steel mills, and bearings with changing rotational directions or

slewing movements. They are also used in curved teeth couplings and centralised lubricating systems.

Tribol GR 100-0 PD and 100-00 PD can be used as semi-fluid grease lubricants in gears such as flange, drum-type and

worm gears. These two products are also suitable for use in gears without oil-tight enclosures, gear wheels and rolling

bearings with a grease reservoir

Advantages

Compared to conventional greases, the Tribol GR 100 PD Range provides the following advantages:

High load bearing capacity – extends the operating period under high loads leading to optimum wear protection

Superior lubrication and surface smoothing effects due to MFT can reduce failures, leading to less downtime and

repair work. PD technology can prolong the life of damaged components

Establishment of a protective layer of MFT – this additive system can effectively increase the load bearing area,

reducing unit pressures, operating temperatures and wear, increasing service life of both parts and lubricant

Improved bearing surfaces for longer service life result from the ‘running in’ effect of MFT

Extremely low coefficients of friction – generating energy savings and reduced noise levels

Multi-functional – Tribol GR 100-0 PD and 100-00 PD are highly recommended for anti-friction bearings with

grease reservoir and for leaky gearboxes.

Easily pumpable in central lubrication systems – does not channel on gears running at high speeds when using

100-0 PD 0 and 100-00 PD
