Castrol Viscogen KL 300
Castrol Viscogen KL 300 is 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.
Reliable performance at elevated operating temperatures helps Castrol Viscogen KL 300 maintain consistent lubrication where heat stress would otherwise shorten fluid life.
The chlorine- and heavy-metal-free formulation reflects a modern approach to industrial fluid design, supporting an improved environmental profile and reduced waste disposal costs.
Advanced extreme-pressure (EP) additive chemistry delivers strong load-carrying capability, helping to protect mating surfaces against scuffing and micro-pitting under heavy-duty operation.
Strong thermal and oxidative stability allows Castrol Viscogen KL 300 to resist breakdown at elevated operating temperatures, helping the product retain its protective properties under demanding duty cycles.
Castrol Viscogen KL 300 is available in six different viscosities depending on the ambient and operating conditions. The dimensions of the chain as well as its structural shape (e.g. roller, pin, ladder chains, insertion and flat link hoisting chains) are important when selecting the right viscosity.
