Alphasyn EP 460

The Castrol Alphasyn EP gear oil range of high quality synthetic lubricants are based on polyalpha-olefin (PAO) fluids and sulpur / phosphorus Extreme Pressure (EP) additive technology providing outstanding thermal stability and high load carrying capacity

The Alphasyn EP range has been formulated for use in all types of enclosed gears including heavy loaded / shock-loaded gears and bearings where EP properties are required. They are suitable for use in gearboxes where micropitting resistance is required and for a wide range of applications in extreme environments.

The use of a PAO basestock provides inherently high Viscosity Index (VI) and low pour points making these products suitable for use over a wide temperature range.

The Alphasyn EP range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
