CASTROL LubeCon Series SYN 150

Description

Castrol LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is a synthetic, premium quality product formulated for the most demanding high temperature chain applications. It provides a unique combination of extremely low volatility and low residue formation tendency, which allows for reduced lubricant consumption and improved housekeeping.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is formulated to address environmental concerns and is free of antimony and barium.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is manufactured from a blend of esters and synthetic fluids selected for their favorable volatility characteristics as well as their physical and chemical stability at high temperatures with extremely low residue forming tendencies.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil can support fluid film lubrication on chain pins over a broad high temperature range. The lubricants contain anti-wear additives for additional protection in boundary lubrication from surging loads and extreme temperatures.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil contains inhibitors against corrosion and oxidation.

Application

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is designed and most effective on chains operating at temperatures between 350°F/175°C (the point at which synthetics become cost effective) and 575°F/300°C. LubeCon Series SYN maintains peak performance over the entire temperature range.

With more frequent relubrication, LubeCon Series SYN continues to perform at temperatures beyond 575°F/300°C.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is designed for the lubrication of roller chains, slides, cams and general lubrication where a high temperature synthetic lubricant is needed.

Major applications include industries using high temperature conveyor systems used for baking, coating, drying and curing.

Product application may be achieved by drip, spray, splash and automatic dispensing equipment. Use of an automatic lubrication system is recommended to benefit the most from the use of Castrol LubeCon Series SYN.

Advantages

 •Application rate and frequency can be minimized due to extremely low volatility. Lubricant consumption is minimized.

 •Minimal residue forming tendency and cleansing action virtually eliminates shutdowns for periodic cleaning of equipment.

 • Dissolves and facilitates removal of pre-existing gum, varnish and carbonaceous residues.

 • Dripping and blow-off are minimized by reduced lubricant application requirements.

 • Excellent fluid film and anti-wear properties result in extended chain life and potential for energy reduction.

 •Fire and explosion possibilities are minimized due to extremely low volatility. Safety and environmental conditions are improved.

 •Overall cost reduction is accomplished by extended lubrication cycles, reduced contamination, decreased downtime for maintenance and repair, and longer parts life.

User Advice

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil is compatible with petroleum and most synthetic based lubricants. While LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil can dissolve even hardened chain deposits from the previously used lubricant, it is recommended to clean the chain thoroughly before changeover to LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil to realize maximum benefits. If this is not feasible, run chain through several cycles under no-load conditions when first applying LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil.

LubeCon Series SYN Chain Oil should not be used around parts containing polycarbonates as it can have a softening effect. Under no circumstances should it be used where neoprene seals are used.
