Description
Castrol Optigear EP 460 High performance gear oils ISO VG 460
Castrol Optigear™ EP is formulated with Castrol’s Microflux Trans Plastic Deformation (MFT-PD) additives and increased load carrying additives.
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.
Application
The combination of high performance in the GL5 – FZG “Sprungtest, FE8 bearing test, elastomer compatibility, low friction makes this range is unique in Industrial gears.
