Castrol Molub-Alloy 860 ES

Product DataCastrol Molub-Alloy 860 ESHigh performance greaseDescriptionCastrol Molub-Alloy TM 860 ES greases are high performance multi-service lithium complex greases formulated frompremium petroleum base oils, lubricating solids, and a combination of corrosion inhibitors specifically chosen forprotection against corrosive process waters. These are designed to extend the service life of bearings in heavy dutyapplications and at elevated temperatures. Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases provide an appropriate oil film for applicationsat slower to moderate speeds, higher loads, and/or higher temperatures sustained for longer periods of time.The load-carrying and anti-wear capabilities of Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases exceed conventional complex greases.High performance is the result of chemical additives working synergistically with select Molub-Alloy lubricating solidswhich are dispersed uniformly throughout the grease. These lubricating solids offer their greatest benefit at slow speedsor when bearings endure heavy loads and shocks. Solids also protect newly machined bearing surfaces during the criticalperiod of ‘running in’. Good bearing surfaces are essential for long service life. Primary metals, including steel – use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases near hot ingots, soaking pits, and reheat furnacesto lubricate pit cover carriages, mill stand screws, slipper couplings, roll bearings, manipulators and guide rolls forcontinuous casters.Paper and forest products – on paper machines, use Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases on the ‘wet end’ couch, suction,and press roll bearings where water wash, corrosive process waters, and high temperatures are present.Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases have been used successfully in all heavy duty industry applications including anti-frictionbearings, bushings, mill rolls and couplings.• Molub-Alloy 860/220 ES greases should be used when loads are moderate to heavy, temperatures are elevated(up to 232ºC/450ºF), and speeds are slow to moderate• Molub-Alloy 860/460 ES greases should be used when loads are heavy, temperatures are elevated(up to 232ºC/450ºF) and speeds are slow • Excellent friction reduction characteristics due to Molub-Alloy solid lubricants – easier start-up, reduced heat, andreduced energy leading to longer bearing life• Exceptional water resistance – coating film stays on the surface even in presence of water; even when exposed tothe action of hot and chemically active process water• Excellent EP and anti-wear properties – protects equipment against extreme/shock loading and helps minimise bearingcomponent wear and hence extends equipment life• Excellent mechanical stability and adhesion – grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long term protectionand reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces• Outstanding oxidation/thermal stability and high dropping point – provides reliable performance and extended lubricantlife in high temperature applications• Formulated to address environmental concerns – it is free of antimony, barium, lead, and zinc

At temperatures above 121ºC/250ºF, regular reapplications of 860 ES must be considered.At temperatures near 177ºC/350ºF, weekly reapplications of 860 ES are suggested.For continuous service near 204ºC/400ºF, reapply 860 ES daily or once each shift.Molub-Alloy 860 ES greases have been used above 232ºC/450ºF. However, frequent reapplication of greaseis necessary to prevent deterioration of the petroleum base oil. Reapply before the grease in the bearing stiffens.In order to minimise potential incompatibilities when converting to a new grease, all previous lubricant should be removedas much as possible prior to operation. During initial operation, relubrication intervals should be monitored closely toensure all previous lubricant is purged.Castrol Molub-Alloy 860 ES01/11/2006, version 1.0Castrol Molub-Alloy 860 ES and the Castrol logo are trademarks of Castrol Limited.All reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information contained in this publication is accurate as of the date of printing.
