ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Care and Handling

This product has been manufactured to a tightly controlled cleanliness specification. Any container that has been opened for use must be re-sealed to avoid contamination ingress from the environment (eg particulates or water). Any contaminants entering the product can affect its performance. The integrity of the product once the container is opened is the responsibility of the end user. It is good practice to use tarpaulins or drum lids to cover all containers to prevent ingress of contamination.

As with all oil-based control fluids, Castrol Brayco Micronic SV/B must never be mixed with control fluids of different base types such as water glycol (e.g. CastroI Transaqua HT2). It can be used to replace mineral oils (such as the Castrol Hyspin range), but this requires clarification with Castrol. Contamination of Castrol Brayco Micronic SV/B with other fluid types can seriously affect product performance.

If you need advice on any of the above, please contact your local Castrol Technical Service Engineer for more specific details.

Storage

All containers should be stored under cover and protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Do not store containers in temperatures below minus 30ºC or above 45°C. 208L plastic drums can be stored a maximum of 2 high, providing a pallet is used to distribute the upper load evenly. In addition, the fill level of the upper drums should be less than or equal to the fill level of the lower drums. It is not recommended to store 208L plastic drums horizontally.
