Castrol Tribol®
3020/1000
Greases
Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases with TGOA®
were designed for very heavy
duty service in adverse environments. Through their formulation and advanced
TGOA additive system, they are able to withstand the shock and heavy loading
commonly found in the processing of primary metals as well as in cement,
construction, and mining industries. The TGOA additive package out-performs
all other EP and antiwear additives because of its unique action on frictional
surfaces.
Description
Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases with TGOA have a lithium soap thickener.
The base oils are high viscosity petroleum oils forming a stable lube film to
withstand high continuous loads, shock loads, and vibrations.
The TGOA additive package is activated by high specific loads and
corresponding temperatures causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results
in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion.
The results of the TGOA additive can be compared with a rolling process in the
micro-range. The surface roughnesses are gradually leveled and smoothed.
Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over
increasing areas and the actual load-bearing areas are enlarged.
During the running-in process, the TGOA additive package creates an optimum
of smooth contact surfaces.
If, because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, surface roughness peaks
redevelop, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface
roughness is again equalized and lubrication optimized.
Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors maximize effective rust protection and long
grease life.
Applications
Typical applications for Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases are in ball and roller
bearings, bushings, slides, couplings (with the exception of high precision

couplings), and general lubrications, especially where loads may be quite high
and speeds low.
Application of Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases may be made manually with
grease guns or automatic dispensing systems.
Advantages
Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases offer optimum protection and long life to
seals, as well as forming a protective barrier in damaged seals.
Reduced friction due to the effect of the TGOA additives is most evident under
boundary and mixed-film lubrication conditions. This benefit is most pronounced
where frequent start up, slow speeds, or high and unexpected loads are
encountered.
Overall savings are derived from the above and result from less labor and
downtime, smoother, more efficient operation with longer parts life, and
extended lubrication cycles.
Notes
Castrol Tribol 3020/1000 Greases with TGOA should not be mixed with
greases using a different thickener.
Relubrication intervals should be increased gradually to insure complete
removal of previous lubricant and to use the TGOA additives to their full
advantages.
