| Castrol Spheerol ALX 460-1.5Heavy Duty Aluminum Complex GreaseDescriptionCastrol Spheerol ALX 460-1.5 is a heavy-duty grease engineered to protect metal surfaces even under harsh conditions,including exposure to aggressive mill water. Its advanced formulation includes superior adhesive properties that ensurecontinuous lubrication in demanding environments. Extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear (AW) additives safeguardagainst wear during mixed-film lubrication, delivering reliable performance across a broad temperature range.ApplicationSpheerol ALX 460-1.5 is ideally suited for high temperature, high load, and slow to moderate speed applicationsincluding:Steel manufacturing equipment such as continuous casters, hot strip mills, reheat furnaces, roll neckbearings, spindles, couplings, and guide rollsHeavy industrial operations exposed to intense heat, mechanical shear, and water ingressAny application requiring a tacky, water-resistant grease with excellent thermal stabilityAdvantagesReliable performance at high temperaturesEnhanced oxidation and mechanical stability for extended grease life and longer maintenance intervalsWater resistance and corrosion protection are specifically developed for aggressive watersFacilitates easy wastewater management by separating cleanly and minimizing media blindingPage: 1/2Typical CharacteristicsName Method Units Spheerol ALX 460-1.5NLGI Class ASTM D217 - 1.5Colour Visual - Dark Brow nAppreance Visual - HomogenousThickener Type - Aluminum ComplexBase Oil Type - MineralDropping Point ASTM D 2265 °C 245Worked penetration at 25°C after 60 strokes, dmm ASTM D 217 0.1 mm 290-320Worked Penetration (10,000 strokes @ 25°C) ASTM D217 0.1 mm 7Base oil kinematic viscosity at 40°C ASTM D445 mm²/s 460Base oil kinematic viscosity at 100°C ASTM D445 mm²/s 27Shell Roll Stability 2h/RT ASTM D 1831 % 5Shell Roll Stability 2h/RT/10% w ater ASTM D1831 Mod % 26Copper Corrosion, 24hrs @ 100°C ASTM D 4048 Rating 1b4 ball w eld load ASTM D 2596 KG 3154 ball w ear ASTM D 2266 mm 0.58Oil Separation ASTM D 1742 % 0.5Bomb Oxidation, 100 hrs, 100°C ASTM D 942 psi Drop 4.1Emcor Corrosion (Distilled Water) ISO 11007 Rating 0/0Rust Prevention ASTM D 1743 Rating PassWater Washout 1hr / 79°C ASTM D 1264 % 1Water Sprayoff ASTM D 4049 % 8Flow Pressure -15°C DIN 51805 mbar 572The above figures are typical of those obtained with normal production tolerance and do not constitute a specification.StorageAll packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally toavoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings.
