Optigear Synthetic RO range are high-performance, synthetic oils developed especially for gears used in rail traffic and mechanical engineering applications (such as in Robots). The properties of Optigear Synthetic RO mean it can be used in extreme climate conditions and for long-term use. Optigear Synthetic RO is formulated with Castrol's Microflux Trans (MFT) Plastic Deformation (PD) additive. MFT PD helps improve performance when operating temperature and loads reach a certain level of activation energy, by enabling the micro-smoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear. The smoothed surface delivers optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction, especially in applications which experience extreme pressure, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds. MFT PD helps to protect against scuffing and shock loading, while maintaining a high load carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears.
