Description
The Castrol Alphasyn T gear oil range of synthetic lubricants are formulated on polyalpha-olefin (PAO) base fluids
and phosphorus-based antiwear additive technology providing outstanding thermal stability and good load
carrying capacity.
Application
Alphasyn T grades have been formulated for use in bearings, circulatory systems and moderately-loaded gear systems
operating at both high and low temperatures. Alphasyn T should not be used for heavy / shock loaded systems.
Alphasyn T is suitable for various applications where a lubricating oil is used under extremes of temperature or
variable temperatures, e.g. from hydraulic systems through to large, slow moving gears.
All products in the Alphasyn T range have very low pour points and excellent viscosity / temperature characteristics,
allowing their use in both low and high temperature applications.
The Alphasyn T range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
Approval Status
Alphasyn T is classified as follows:
DIN Classification is CL.
Alphasyn T grades meet the requirements of:
DIN 51517 Part 2.
David Brown Type A.
Features and Benefits
Good thermal and oxidative stability provides reliable operation and extended operating life when compared to
mineral oil based products.
Inherently high viscosity index (VI) makes the product suitable for operations operating over a wide temperature
range.
Good antiwear and load carrying abilities minimizes gear wear and prolongs gear tooth life.
Good water separation and demulsification characteristics means reduced down time through prolonged lubricant
life and increased equipment reliability.
PAO based lubricant provides good compatibility with seals, paints and mineral oil based lubricants.
