CASTROL Molub-Alloy 6040 / 460 - 1.5
Industrial Greases and Pastes
Molub-Alloy 6040/460-1.5 multi-purpose grease is based on a unique calcium-complex sulfonate thickener containing premium petroleum base oils with selected additives for extreme pressure characteristics. The use of this complex thickener offers advantages over other organic grease thickeners such as polyurea, and it also works better than inorganics like aluminium bentonites or fumed silica.
The calcium sulfonate thickeners have inherent anti-oxidant and rust-inhibiting properties, along with high dropping points and extreme pressure (EP) & anti-wear characteristics.
It offers exceptional water resistance. The film coating stays on the surface in the presence of water, including hot and chemically active process waters.
Molub-Alloy 6040/460-1.5 is recommeneded for use in:
- Plain/journal or anti-friction bearings in applications operating under extreme environmental conditions such as in rolling mills and continuous casters in steel mill plants, and in forming and press section in paper mills.
- Applications with frequent start-ups, low speeds, or where high loads and shock loading are commonplace, such as in mining heavy duty equipment.
- Low speed highly loaded coupling systems used extensively in metal rolling mill applications and in high horsepower transmitting such as in curved tooth couplings.
- Applications where resistance to aggressive process waters and protection against corrosive environments is highly demanded.
Typical characteristics:
Worked penetration, 60 stokres at 25 °C (77 °F): 295 (0.1 mm) - NLGI 1.5
Penetration - change from 60 strokes to 100 000 strokes: +/- 10 (0.1 mm)
Base oil viscosity at 40 °C (104 °F): 460 mm2/sec
Base oil viscosity at 100 °C (212 °F): 30.1 mm2/sec
Water wash-out, ASTM D1264: 1.8 % wt loss
Four Ball Weld Load test, weld point: 400 kgf
Oil separation, 24 hrs, 0.25 psi, 25°C (77°F): 0% wt
