Castrol Viscogen KL 23

Castrol Viscogen KL range are thermally stable synthetic lubricants designed for high temperature lubrication in severe environments, where the use of mineral oils or conventional synthetic oils would result in excessive wear, carbonisation and residue formation. They can be used up to temperatures of +240°C/+464°F, depending on the viscosity. Viscogen KL have been developed from base fluids which form exceptionally adherent, transparent and odourless lubricating films and an additive system free of solids, metals or silicone which enhances load carrying capability and wear protection.

• Viscogen KL finds use in many industrial applications, for example: High-rack storage shelves, bakery machines, paint lines, conveyor chains, tenter frames and dryers, washing plants, underfloor chains, steamers, slashers, baking ovens, slide ways, spindles, ropes, open gear wheels, plastic toothed belts and sheet-fed offset machines. Viscogen KL 23 is especially suitable for use in BOPP (Biaxially oriented Polypropylene) film stretching machines.

• Extremely low evaporation rate, low residue formation and low smoke generation at high temperatures – enabling reduced maintenance, reduced lubricant consumption and better working environments.
• High load carrying ability under severe mechanical loads and high temperatures as well as excellent penetration on chains and wire rope strands – leading to longer chain life.
• No dripping or throwing off at high speeds or high temperatures – giving reduced lubricant consumption.
• Excellent rust protection, extraordinary oxidation resistance and no hard carbon build up - leading to longer chain life and reduced maintenance.

• H222, H229 - Extremely flammable aerosol. Pressurised container: may burst open on heating.
• P210 - Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
• P211 - Do not spray into open flame or other sources of ignition.
• P251 - Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
• P410 + P412 - Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures above 50 °C/122 °F.
