BP OGL IIITM - Castrol TDS

BP OGL III TM
Open Gear Lubricant
___________________________________________________________________
Description
BP OGL III is an open gear lubricant comprising a solvent-free blend of synthetic polyols and modified
hydrocarbon fluid bases coupled with synergistic lubricating solids and micro-coupling agents that form a
thixotropic matrix.
___________________________________________________________________
Applications
Open gears, racks and pinions, dipper sticks, circle rollers and rails and other mechanisms that are found in
mining, steel, cement, sugar and other heavy industries.
It is also suitable for gears and pinions that operate at elevated temperatures (85 0 C).
Check second page for approximate application rates.

Advantages
• BP OGL III is solvent free and can be dispensed without heating through conventional lubrication
systems.
• Will not plug or harden in injectors, blocks and spray nozzles, even after extended usage.
• Inert formulation will not adversely react with copper alloys and lubricant system components.
• Complexing of micro-coupling agents and fluid stabilisers provides excellent adhesion and minimizes
fling off.
• The established soft, pliable film provides high compressive strengths and low shear rates, while
fluid stabilisers prevent residual build-up.

Application Rates for BP OGL III:
The following formula can be used as a guide for application rates of BP OGL III at conditions of initial startup
(or re-start following clean-up or maintenance service) and running conditions:
Start-up:
Running:
M1 = 0.04 x B x W (Np +Ng)
M2 = 0.025 x B x W (Np +Ng)
Where: M1 = Start-up dose Mass OGL III in grams per 24 hours
M2 = Running dose Mass OGL III in grams per 24 hours
B = Height of gear tooth in cm
W = Width of gear tooth in cm
Np = Number of pinion teeth
Ng = Number of gear teeth
