Castrol TribolTM GR SW 1.5 (previously called Optitemp SW 1) is a lithium based grease containing a synthetic base fluid and premium extreme pressure (EP) additives. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base oil and the low coefficient of traction (compared with mineral oils), provide excellent low temperature pumpability and very low starting and running torque. It can also offer the potential for energy savings and can reduce operating temperatures in the load zone of rolling and sliding element bearings. The lithium complex thickener gives excellent adhesion, structural stability, sealing effects and water resistance. Primarily intended for a wide variety of applications at extremes of temperature, the grease also has a high level of chemical stability and provides excellent protection against wear, rust and corrosion.
Advantages
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs because of reduced wear, rust and corrosion.
- Outstanding high and low temperature performance.
- Extended service life with longer intervals between re-lubrication.
- Reduced energy consumption due to low traction coefficient.
- Ability to perform well in the presence of water.
