Castrol Tribol GR 3020/1000-2 PD

Castrol Tribol GR 3020/1000-2 PD (previously called Tribol 3020/1000) is a range of greases formulated from highly refined petroleum base oils, a lithium thickener, and Tribol Grease Oil Additive (TGOA). The TGOA additive package outperforms all other Extreme Pressure (EP) and Anti-Wear (AW) additives because of its unique action on frictional surfaces.

The base oils are high-viscosity mineral oils forming a stable lubricant film to withstand high continuous loads, shock loads and vibrations. The TGOA additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding temperatures causing a chemical physical reaction. This results in an equalisation of surface roughness without creating abrasion.

The results of the TGOA additives can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed. In smoothing the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over increasing areas and the actual load-carrying areas are enlarged.

During the running-in process, the TGOA additive package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces. If, because of shock loads, or stop-and-go operation, surface roughness peaks
redevelop, the TGOA additives are automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again equalised and lubrication optimised. Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors help maximise effective rust protection and the long life of the grease.

The Tribol GR 3020/1000 PD Range contains NLGI consistency grades commonly available for these types of lubricants.

• Applications include large slow-speed bearings where the Tribol 3020/1000 PD greases provide a sufficient
  lubricating film due to their high base oil viscosity
• Typical applications for Tribol GR 3020/1000 PD fluid greases (NLGI 0,00,000) are non-oil-tight gear units, rolling
  and sliding bearings, bushings, slides and general lubrication designed for fluid-grease lubrication
• Tribol GR 3020/1000 PD grease (NLGI 1 &2) can be used for roller and sliding bearings, spindles, power train
  couplings (with exception to high speed precision couplings), carriages, cams and common grease points.
• They’re commonly used in the steel, mineral compound, construction and mining industry
  Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +120°C/ -40°F and +248°F

Compared to conventional greases, the Castrol Tribol GR 3020/1000-2 grease provides the following advantages:

• Excellent pumpability in central lubrication systems
• Repairs damaged friction surfaces (roughness) due to the TGOA additives
• Extends lubrication interval
• Reduces wear and noise
• Lowers operating temperatures
• Lowers downtime, therefore reducing maintenance and repair costs
• Optimum sealing effect, due to excellent adhesion of the grease

Storage:

All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.

Tribol GR 3020/1000 PD should not be mixed with greases using a different thickener.
Application may be made manually with grease guns or automatic dispensing systems designed for the respective NLGI grades.
